I have decided to sell my van so I can get the Daytona done and move on to other projects. At the moment it is not running. I blew the engine up (melted #1 piston I think) during a long WOT pull on the interstate...that’s what no AF gauge will do to you.
It put down 180hp/250tq according to the local dyno as it was.
Asking $1000obo... I'm open to trades or anything else. I would rather hang on to it then give it away. If I really wanted to I could have it fixed in a day, but time is money.
Vitals-
1990 Caravan LE-T
Gray/Gray sport interior (houndstooth, all seats included)
Overhead console
power locks, rear hatch pop, rear wiper, power rear windows, crank fronts
WORKING R-12 AC!
converted 520 5-speed from an 88 Daytona ES
Mods-
Top mounted T-bird IC w/ 280Z hoodscoop
2.5in exhaust, no cat, Magnaflow stainless muffler
G-valve/VDO boost gauge (running 12psi)
T/C front grill
window tint (OEM side windows, 50% on the front, 35% on very back)
Infinity Reference speakers/kenwood deck/wired for subs
New Parts-
HEADLINER! it looks great! the console was covered as well
Radiator
A/C parts to get that working
clutch (has less then 3k miles on it)
rear shocks
front calipers
Motormounts and axles
muffler
The Good-
It has been a great car and I really do not want to sell it! The longer I keep it the less I work on my Daytona and while it is down I am better off to let it go then to fix it. It has been really fun and I hope I can find one like it if I look to get one again. The interior is where it really stands out. The seats and such are in great shape. Besides normal wear and stains here and there I would say it is in extremely good shape. I did the 5-speed swap last year because I wasn't having the best of luck with the automatics. It has held up great to daily use and only failed because I was being stupid. It would be a great platform to take and run with it, I want it to go to a good home. Also, keeping the A/C was a huge goal so that was the reasoning behind the top-mount. It worked pretty well and the A/C was ice cold last summer. The 14in wheels/tires that come on it have plenty of tread and should last awhile.
The Bad-
The paint is horrible. Most of it has been scraped off because I was planning to get it painted in just a week!!! The rear quarter on the passenger's side is rusted but nothing that a trip to the junkyard to cut the piece and a little body working can't fix. The hood also needs work, the scoop job is pretty amateur but it gets the van noticed everywhere I go. There is a little rust above the windshield.
And after all that, the PICS! **Pumpers will not come with it***
As I said, most of the paint has been scraped off...
