That's gotta be the sweet spot, highly enticing, couldn't buy a wrecked van and do half that to it for the money.

[Vigo]

This is a smoking deal. Ive seen and ridden in this van, and RW is right you couldnt build this van at twice the price. The paint and detail work Chuck does is top-notch, the engine bay looks better in person than in pics.

If the interior is the same as it was when i saw it than the full interior is in very good condition as well. This is a turbo mopar you could take your family out in or take ANYONE out in and not have to make excuses for. Its comfortable, punchy, and unique and it still has all the people carrying and hauling abilities it left the factory with.


I wish i was in a position to buy it, Chuck is a guy i wouldnt hesitate to do a cross-country deal with.

[BIG PSI]

Thanks guys for the compliments.
But like I said I am going to be going in a different direction and need this last Turbo 2.5 SOLD

[unluckyty]

What is your new direct Chuck, a Hayabusa?

Well Derwood must have heard that I was putting him up for sale so he decided to break down on me.
I turned the ignition key and nothing, have all my electrical power such as lights, tach, fuel pump.
Opened the hood and had my wife turn the key and the starter relay took a crap.

So I towed the Mini Van over to OhioRob and we are now going to do the following:
Replace the starter relay, pull the transmission and do a total rebuild including the Torque Converter, remove the stock transmission cooler and install a large aftermarket one, replace the driver's front door check as the interior light is inop with that door only, and clean/adjust the brakes.

Oh, I am also having him install the floor shifter that I bought from Powermaxx for the full manual valve body.
Last, I will see if I can have Rob get the speedometer and trip-odometer to work and reset the odometer to 15,000 as that is what I would guess that is on my new motor.

So with all this I guess I will have to once again REMOVE DERWOOD from sale.
Here we go again.

OK guys I picked up DERWOOD on Thursday night and everything in post 13 was done except Rob did not install the floor shifter that I bought from Powermaxx. The mini runs great once again. Now the wide band O2 sensor is not reading, so I will have to find out what is causing that and fix it. So the van is once again FOR SALE....

The price however is back up to $3,000.00 with all the money I just spent.
So if you want a great running Turbo Mini Van, here it is.

TTT once more.....

Well we redid the rear brakes, removed the charcoal canister, removed the spare tire sling completely, got the wide band O2 sensor to work, painted the power steering pump, painted the rear axle assembly and the rear leaf springs (black).

I bought a set of +20's Fuel Injectors and will get those installed and then the end of the May Rob Lloyd will be here to tune the Van. If it does not sell by that time I will removed it from sale once again.
