Would a 1986 5 speed Caravan be anything special? I don't know the engine.

If its a 2.6 (did those come w/5speed though ?) I would run away and never look back. otherwise I'd fix it and drive it :)

That's what I'm trying to figure out. I'll do more research and get more info.

Would I be correct to assume the 2 available engines in 86 are the 2.2 and the 2.6? I'd imagine this isn't a turbo (no badging?)

No turbo in 86.

It would be a 2.2 carbed, 2.6 only came with the auto.
Cool find! Those early 1st gen vans are cool.

I wish it was not several thousand miles away otherwise id pick it up as a parts van. It is very difficult to find a 4 headlight 1st gen van anymore. I saw one the other day and it is the first one I saw in a few years.

Pretty rare indeed. Looks kinda nice to be parting. But looks can be deceiving. Would be a great econobox! You should get it!

I broke 2 A525's in my 84 voyager with the powerful carburated 2.2 ;) I dont know how they held up in some of the turbo cars.
