Condition: Used

This van was custom built as a forensics van and still retains many unique features. Most notable, it has double barn doors on both sides and the rear. It still retains a working police spot light on the windshield pillar and a working on-board battery charger and minding system for times when it isn't driven regularly. The interior has steel paneling on the walls and is insulated. There are 110V outlets on the exterior of the van and it was originally wired for a generator, but I do not believe the wiring is still intact.

The van is equipped with the original 318 V-8 and automatic transmission which are both in good working order. Tires are good all around and the brakes feel good and work well. The alternator and battery have been replaced recently. And believe it or not, the A/C stills blows cold even though it has never been upgraded to R-134. For it's age, the van runs and drives very well, and I used it to drive across the country and back at Christmas time.

The van carries a clear U.S title from the state of Wyoming where I purchased it, but it is now located in Victoria, B.C. It was imported into Canada properly, but will require inspection prior to registration in B.C. It could easily be exported back to the U.S for an American buyer.

This is a very solid and unique van that is worth saving for the right person. There is minimal rust along the driver's rocker, but it is surface only and there are no holes or perforations anywhere. All of the doors are in solid original condition and the underside of the van in remarkably rust free. The paint is very faded and is starting to flake off. It has had one repaint that looks like it could be twenty years old. There are a couple of very small dents from use as a cargo van and one bullet graze on the front cowl from its' days as a police vehicle. The interior condition is what you would expect from a 30 year old work vehicle, but it still cleans up OK.

The possibilities for this van are endless. It could be used for parts, camperized, or restored to its' original state as a forensics van. It is also an awesome cargo van. I have never seen another one like it.

I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere, but it can't be registered or driven in B.C. without inspection.

Payment in full is required within 72 hours of the end of the auction. The vehicle is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Ford, Chrysler and Mazda expand scope of Takata airbag recalls

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The scope of the Takata airbag inflator recall is ballooning once again across the United States. Where Honda has elected to take its driver-side airbag campaign nationwide, Chrysler Group and Ford have now announced expanded regional actions to cover some passenger-side airbag inflators. Mazda is adding more regions, as well. For Chrysler Group, the campaign covers the inflators on 149,150 examples of the 2003-model-year Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups. The recall is limited to vehicles sold or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The company will begin notifying affected customers on January 19. According to Chrysler's announcement of the action, the passenger side inflators in these trucks "are of a type that is not used in any of the other vehicles affected by Chrysler Group's regional field action." The automaker says that it's not aware of any actual failures or accidents in these pickups and even claims there are no "observed failures in laboratory testing of its airbag modules." The company is continuing to study the problem, though. Ford is taking a similar step by issuing a recall of inflators for 38,500 examples of the 2004-2005 Ranger and 2005-2006 Ford GT. The campaign only affects vehicles originally sold or ever registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Certain zip codes of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa are also covered. There's already precedent for passenger-side airbags to be covered under the Takata inflator recall. When many automakers announced campaigns in June, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota all included that side in some of their repairs. Subaru subsequently did, as well. In addition, Mazda is expanding the scope of its recall to add Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to the affected areas. The company estimates that it has a total of 86,773 vehicles in need of repair. Mazda is also teaming with Toyota to begin independent testing of the Takata inflators. Scroll down to read all of the automakers' announcements of these newly expanded recalls. Statement: Air-Bag Inflators December 3, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich.

2019 Chrysler Pacifica and Dodge Grand Caravan 35th Anniversary Editions debut in Chicago

Mon, Feb 4 2019

Just ahead of the 2019 Chicago Auto Show, FCA revealed a pair of special editions to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the original Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager. The 2019 Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Hybrid and Dodge Grand Caravan 35th Anniversary Edition models will make their full debut this week sporting special badging and paint. Since the original 1984 models debuted, Chrysler has sold more than 14.6 million minivans around the world. Chrysler introduced the original Caravan and Voyager in late 1983. The pair shared much with Lee Iacocca's storied K-platform. K-based models such as the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon helped turn around Chrysler's fortunes in the early '80s. Likewise, the Caravan and Voyager were a huge success and provided the template for modern minivans including the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. The Pacifica and Grand Caravan 35th Anniversary Editions both come with an all-black interior featuring Cranberry Wine accent stitching on the seats, steering wheel, door trim, instrument panel bezels and door handles. There's also a 35th Anniversary logo on the floor mats plus badges on the grille and liftgate. The package is available on Pacifica Touring L, Touring L Plus and Limited trims, including hybrid models. An optional S package (blacked out trim) can be added to any 35th anniversary Pacifica. The anniversary package can be added to Grand Caravan SE and SXT models. The anniversary package will be available sometime this summer.
