Offered For Sale: *Numbers Matching* 1989 Dodge Caravan SE TURBO!
The story:
On January 18, 1989 Frank Simon walked into Glenway Dodge on Cincinnati's West Siiide! and spent $17,520.87 on a brand new Dodge caravan. But this was no ordinary Caravan - this was a "J" code with the factory 2.5 turbocharged engine!
The Caravan would be Frank's trusted friend for many years... Fast forward to 2014: Frank is now elderly, and the Caravan needs work - His Children decide that the Caravan should be sold... They even think about having it towed away to a junkyard!!!!
Then Frank's Daughter remembers a strange guy that had asked her to sell the Van months before, and contacts him...
They contact the esteemed collector of Turbo Mopars, a Man with 20 years TM experience, with both Drag Racing and Car Show wins, a deal was struck, knowing the J code went to a good home..
The Collector spends the next year working on the Van, reviving it to OE specs, and now it's time to move on...
The Details:
All stock, including the *J code exclusive* dual tip factory exhaust!
Less than 130,000 miles have traveled under the sturdy 14" steel wheels since new. The peppy 2.5 L Turbo engine is mated to a smooth shifting (recently rebuilt) A413 automatic transmission. Recent upgrades include a rebuilt head, new oil/filter/plugs/cap/rotor/timing belt. Runs just fine!
Frank was a Teamster, so the Van reflects his Blue Collar work ethic, and features limited power options, reducing weight and power losses. The interior is comfortable blue / grey cloth, and included in the sale is the hard to find 3rd row bench seat! 6 friends can ride along!!
Also included in the sale is a large envelope with 28 years of maintenance receipts, the window sticker and all sales paperwork.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own this rare, all stock Turbo Caravan!
