Never heard of one. Probibly just some guy that wanted to build something different. I lmost of it. I have always thought that when I have a family, and if we have to get a mini van (parents have full sized) it will be amazing. I rather go full size but either way it will be anything but stock.

That is more believable. He is a Ford guy, he drove an SHO in The Santa Claus(not conformed if that was his choice or not).But the speakers in the back? Not up to par with the rest of the car.

the only one i know about was that steeda company made a few of them. but i guess with enough money Saleen would have made one. that what steve Saleen new company does.
remember it easier to fix them, than to find them after they been crushed.

V6 = juvenile delinquency!

Back when I was in the Porsche Club I went to Austin for an event down there. While wandering around I hear this......racket....pulling in. I look up, and it was a first gen Dodge (cargo) Minivan that belonged to a sponsor of the event. When he parked I went to have a look. This thing had a supercharged 2.2, with Mikuni carbs, and TWO 10 pound NITROUS bottles behind the driver's seat. ed thing sounded like it was going to explode.....it sounded fast!
