hi ya thechink1968 here is a photo of a van hee transcon, this was the standard pose for it, 
joe pepper alan walton started has the transcon where been phased out, copyright of this photo belongs to gorden mitchell , the fitter is young bobbin’s, bumb er
my dad drove this transcon for mo baker,at the time it did not have any of the show garnish on it and was pretty standard except for some extra chrome and button draylon interior but was still very smart
Why did Ford insist on “having a go” at the heavy Premiun end of the market when they surely must have realised that they were wasting their time?I realise that the Transcon has now assumed “cult status” but in reality the Transcon was a joke amongst the heavy end of the 70s early 80s manufacturers. Bewick.

A lot of o/d’s had them on m/e because of their reliability.
I found mine to be no better or worse for reliability than any other marque.
