LWB manual, has to be exceedingly rare, don’t think I have noticed one like that before.

Oh, I thought of you recently. I don’t know if you waste much time on youtube, every now and then I go down a rabbit hole, and found car crushing videos. The rust always fascinates me, as cars age differently in your neck of the woods vs the PNW. Anyway, a prolific uploader posted a video with not jusy a woody boxy van, but an Acclaim and Dynasty too (along with an unusual and unloved Buick). I hope these all look beyond redemption to you :)

I grew up with manual chrysler minivans, we had three consecutively.

Looks like a NP to me. Although I wish it had more pics, and a mileage reading .

Also, t he b rake line failed near the booster? That’s usually the least-rusty section . Is it in a vulnerable spot that it might have gotten bumped during the head gasket job?

Hmmm... how much do I want my wife to be pissed off at me?

You know the saying better to ask forgiveness than permission? I don’t adhere to that since I don’t think I’d survive the initial asking for forgiveness part

I’m not buying anything until the RallyMetro bites the dust, otherwise I’ll have to live in it.

But I already sent the link to Birddog. He loves turbo Mopars, and has been on the hunt for a cheap rallycross vehicle.

You coming this Sunday ? I missed the last one, so I'm chomping at the bit to get back out there.

No, unfortunately, just spent a good chunk of change getting my truck fixed and actually have it for sale (the big K3500)

You’re selling the K3500!?

MasterMario - Keeper of the V8s > shop-teacher
10/22/2018 at 11:39

Yea, we are selling the boat too and we don’t really need it once that’s gone

Gotcha. How much you looking to get for the truck?

MasterMario - Keeper of the V8s > shop-teacher

To an opponaut or friend of I’d sell it for what I paid...11,500. That’s with a new transmission, professional dyno tune, and a cap for the back that I’ve done to it since I bought it. Asking $13k though...which I thought was a bit high but there were 2 others on CL with similar prices in similar shape

If I ever used that theory I’d have been single a long time ago. My wife is very good about things, so long as we discuss them beforehand.

That’s reasonable, and i t’s awfully tempting. I’d like to get a big camper for the family. I really shouldn’t buy a vehicle right now, but I’ll have to consider it anyways. That truck is exceptional ly clean.

It could have easily gotten jacked when doing the HG job.

I wish he had pics of the interior, mileage doesn’t scare me as these are extremely cheap to completely go through and make “new” again.

Not sure how the LWB would do for rally-x. The SWB sets up very nicely when pushed off road, I think the extra length might throw the balance off.
