There was a DC body kit for the vans? Really?
That would have been fun, wonder what MPG they knocked down?

THAT F#CKING VAN IS IN THE J-yard HERE IN SPOKANE!!!
Holy smokes! I pulled the chrome valve cover off of that thing! didn't have the sc anymore, didn't come to the jy with one. Didn't have the special shocks and struts either. the thing is pretty hammered too
pics or it didn't happen
cool looking van
Man sad sight
I know. I'm thinking about pulling the ground fx, but they are in pretty sorry shape. the front is in the best condition.
You ought to email the pics to Hot Rod and see if they run a blurb about it.

Also, you happen to know the issue the article was in?
Aug 1986
Looks like it has yellow perils on the back now, suppose those 4-way equalisers are unobtanium now?
DD1: '02 T&C Ltd, 3.8 AWD. DD2: '15 Versa Note SV, replacing.. DDx: '14 Versa Note SV << freshly killded :( ....... Projects: '88 Voyager 3.0, Auto with shift kit, timing advance, walker sound FX muffler on 15" pumpers wrapped in 215/65/R15 H rated Nexens.... and a '95 phord escort wagon PnP head << Both may need to go :( ..... I like 3.0s ... so??? ... stop looking at me like I've got two heads!
That is F*%^$ing sad!
Didn't know the vans were ever 4-lug... too bad whoever got that van didn't keep it up.
the reality is the only people who consider any of the chrysler fwd derivatives to be worth keeping up are the groups like us. how many times have there been posts of a numbered shelby ripped apart in a junkyard, what about that one off shelby rampage street fighter stripped. or the yellowbird shadow almost going to the crusher (was it saved?) nobody see's the worth in these cars. i just picked up a 4dr lebaron sedan that belonged to my best friends late grandmother, after some parts, its awesome, and low k (1990, with 129,000km) for $600.
it is sad to see cool stuff dead in the junkyard, and i expect to see more and more stories like it as parts become more sparse and newer econobox rockets become cheaper with age.

The paint and body look pretty good! That would be neat cargo van even without the superchrager. Drop in a turbo motor or even a non-turbo one.

someone should see if the van could be saved since it has some cool history to go with it
