Title: I want this minivan
Post by: Thunder Chicken on March 25, 2005, 10:56:22 PM
This thing is SWEET! Look at the attention to detail! I'd even give up my T-Bird to own it (though I'd quickly get another T-Bird...)

Sorry, it still has that cheap grill/headlight look going on.

Yeah, if they're going to go that far with a minivan, perhaps a custom grille is in order.

I dunno, I kinda like the cheap grille look. It helps make it look more uncool. More of a sleeper. Besides, it'd be more fun showing people your tail lights...

Man, I'm surprised I didn't see "Crate 350" under the "Engine" heading.  Kudos to them for keeping it Mopar!

I'm HARDCORE FORD, but I like it..... Even the cheap grille.  Bet it will run mid 11s fairly easily...

Its deffinately cool to show people your tail lights, but I think that van has passed on being a sleeper, not with those tires anyway.

U can still get them.
And if u wanted to do the cheap way u go for a dodge diplomat and swap in everything.  U cut the shafts and weld in new K frame susport.
Buddy of mine is thinking about doing this.

Since when was the Diplomat FWD? The guy in my shop class that had one would've been interested in finding out how they got that slant 6 in there...

The Diplomat was RWD, along with the Plymouth Fury and Chrysler 5th Avenue (although there were FWD Fifth Avenues available At the same time as the RWD ones). The Diplomat was the most popular police car until they were discontinued in the late 80's. Here's a police Diplomat for sale:

but since when has diplomat parts been remotely compatable with a k-car?
