Sundownder build numbers are as follows;

357 made in 1978
142 made in 1979
Giving a total of 1177.
Speak to Russell who owns the cobra sundowner, he has a pretty good handle on them and told us how to identify them from the plates, its easier than identifying a sandman...I should have written it down, so have forgotton

Its only 1500 bucks il have to do some research seen to b finding some good stuff in tassie latley
i wonder how many are left. take out the stolen/insurance jobs, accident write offs, used as donors, roofs cut off to be made to utes, and the biggest killer of them all,rust
would guess under 50, maybe less than 10 on the road
