| Is there any thing that makes these vans special, better interiors or options? Just thought I would ask as there is one for sale in the Trading Post today! |

| i think the gemini's were originally marketed to older families and then realised that the young couples liked the gemini's so they made all these special cars to target the young market as the young couples in those days "digged" panelvans |

not only do they have the triple gauges..( rare ) but they have the left hand mirror and the factory tacho dash.. plus on the complience plates they have a stamped code authenticating that its a gypsy.. so you dont buy a mock up and get ripped off

| they also came out with factory mudflaps, arial running up the pillar instead of straight out the 1/4 panel, and i think they had 13" mags from what i can tell in the picture of one in my gemini manual |

Pretty much.
It was the geminis way of cashing in on the sandman phase by creating its own version of one. |
