1990 Caravan LE Turbo 5-speed

[TurboOmni08]

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.

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...








The engine like 15mins after the smoke cleared...


Rear seats when I got it, that ashtray is fixed now



I have and can get many others. You can come see it if you want. Feel free to e-mail or PM me. The car is in Woodstock, VA 22664

More pictures and parts.

If a buyer is interested there is a second van included in this deal. For $1000 you get 2 turbo vans. The 90 with a title and an 89 woody for parts. The woody is the same as far as power goods and all and is an automatic. The turbo is bad on the 89 but the block (yay!) is good. All the power stuff works but it won't turn over due to wiring issues, it looks like a mouse got under the hood.

Also, a trailer hitch is included, the bumper on the 90 will have to be cut to put it on, which is why I didn't bother. Its for the older 89 and back aluminum bumper vans.

More pics...
Front seats and dash when I got it, nothing much has changed.

How much for the 89' seperately? Any pics?

[TurboOmni08]

Price drop. $800, but I keep my BOV, g-valve, and magacores at this price.

The 89 has no title, I cannot get one.
