I am selling this 1997 Dodge Ram Conversion Van for my father, who has ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), and no longer needs this vehicle. I am very familiar with the van, having driven it hundreds of miles, and will try to accurately represent its condition. My parents purchased the van in June 2012 from Presidential Conversions in Fayetteville, AR (479-521-8433), one of the state's oldest and most reputable dealers of handicap conversion vehicles.
THE GOOD: This van is in great condition inside & out, especially considering its age (17 years). It is loaded with features, including: - Braun Vangater II Wheelchair Lift with remote control - Electric Passenger Transfer Seat by B&D Independence, Inc. (Model #L71P) - Wheelchair Tie-Down Restraints - Wheelchair Occupant Seat-belt Restraint System - Dometic 500 Plus Series, Model 111 Toilet with Bidet spray feature - 25 gallon freshwater tank with SHURflo 4008 RV By-Pass Pump - 25 gallon wastewater tank with Valterra 3" Bladex Valve discharge outlet - Lavatory cabinet with sink - Roof conversion with 60" interior headroom. - Custom cabinetry throughout - New carpet - Heavy duty cabin air-conditioning system - Full cabin custom lighting - Power and cabling for TV and DVD entertainment system (TV & DVD player not included) All equipment WORKS! This van is ready for long-distance travel. The engine starts right up, idles perfectly, does not leak, and does not burn oil. The transmission shifts smoothly. The entire drivetrain is in excellent condition, and is the most powerful combination that was available for this van at the time of manufacture. All dash gauges and buttons work. All lights work. The exterior paint is original, and is still glossy. The interior dash and console is original, and is in great condition. No cracks in the dash or console. The wheels are shiny and still in great condition. The tires still have at least 50% of their tread left. The 5.9 liter fuel-injected engine pulls very strong, and easily cruises at 75 mph on the highway. The wheelchair lift is rugged, reliable, and folds into a small footprint when it is stowed. The electric passenger transfer seat is only two years old, and cost over $4,000. It works perfectly, and will swivel completely around, allowing the wheelchair occupant to safely transfer into the front passenger seat. Some of my photos show the operation. The toilet and lavatory are only two years old, and cost over $3,000. The carpet is also only two years old, and still looks new. THE BAD: Although this van is in great condition, it is not perfect. There are some minor cosmetic issues that must be noted. Although the paint looks great standing 6' away, close inspection will reveal tiny nicks that one would expect with almost 80k miles of use. There is a small dent at the passenger side cargo door sill, adjacent to the wheelchair lift (see photo). The driver side plastic window guard is cracked (see photo). The spare tire carrier has a small amount of rust on it adjacent to the rear door, but is hidden from plain view. The interior console, located between the driver and front passenger seats, has a 2" long x 1/4" wide defect that appears to be melted plastic. I do not know what caused it. Perhaps a technician laid a hot soldering iron there. Regardless, it is not very noticeable, and does not compromise the functionality of the console. The windows are tinted, and the window tint is showing its age with numerous small scratches and blemishes in the tint. Window tint is easy and inexpensive to fix, and would be a worthwhile investment for the new owner to consider. Overall, the GOOD far outweighs the BAD on this van. It is a good-looking handicap van that will provide years of reliable transportation for a small fraction of the cost of a new one. A comparably equipped new vehicle will easily cost $60-80k, and will likely not include a bathroom. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I will be happy to answer them, and arrange a test drive. The van is located at my home in Benton, AR (only a 20 minute drive from Little Rock). If you fly into Little Rock to pick the van up, I will be happy to drive to the airport and meet you there. Good Luck, and Happy Bidding! |

Dodge Demon's deliverer? FCA files for 'Angel' trademark
Thu, Aug 3 2017We've driven the Dodge Demon, and despite its satanic overtones and 840 freakin' horsepower under the hood, the car is actually quite well-behaved. At least it didn't bite our head off or drag us into any sort of inferno. Still, Dodge might be looking to balance its lineup with something with a bit more righteous, as FCA has filed for a trademark of the moniker "Angel."... According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, FCA filed the application on July 17, 2017, and it applies to "Motor vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, their structural parts, trim and badges." Essentially, that's all the information we have to go on at this point. It could mean that Dodge is planning to further capitalize on the Demon name by creating another variant, or a completely different car. But what's the opposite of the Demon? Could it be a more road-friendly version of the drag-focused Demon? (And wouldn't that just be a Hellcat Widebody with more power?) Maybe it's a performance hybrid, as FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne recently said that the automaker would electrify half its fleet by 2022. For now, we can merely speculate as to what the Angel would be. And you can, too. Get at it in the comments section, below. And while you're at it, what name do you think FCA should trademark next, and what sort of car would that be?Related Video: Related Gallery 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon: First Drive View 37 Photos News Source: US Patent and Trademark Office via FCA Authority Auto News Chrysler Dodge Future Vehicles Performance FCA trademark dodge demon
Junkyard Gem: 1963 Dodge Dart two-door sedan
Mon, Mar 6 2017The 1963-1966 Dodge Dart, sibling to the Plymouth Valiant, was sturdy, cheap, and easy to drive, and it sold very well. Here's a worn-but-solid example of the two-door '63 Dart sedan, spotted in a Denver-area self-service wrecking yard. The only transmission choices for the Dart this year were a three-speed manual and an automatic controlled by Chrysler's famous dash-mounted pushbutton shifter. These shifters worked surprisingly well, even when used for road racing. Starting in the 1964 model year, the Dart could be purchased with a 273-cubic-inch V8 engine, but in 1963 Dart buyers had but two engine choices: a slant-6 displacing 170 cubic inches and good for 101 horsepower and a slant-6 displacing 225 cubic inches and making 145 horsepower. This car has the big engine. This is one of the most reliable engines to come out of Detroit, period. The interior is pretty beat, but the metal isn't rusty. You'd think that someone would have rescued this car long before it came to this sorry end, but perhaps Dart restorers only want numbers-matching V8 cars these days.

Old Dodge vans are big in Japan
Fri, Sep 23 2016One of the great things about Japan and its car culture is that it plays host to some of the most unusual and unique vehicle trends in the world. Whether it's neon-clad Lamborghinis or luxury sedans with insane negative camber, the country always seems to have something new up its sleeve. One of the most surprising trends is track-ready, full-size Dodge vans called Dajibans, and the video above presents a great look at these absurd machines. This isn't the first time we've covered these racing Dodge vans, but it's a subculture too awesome not to merit a second look. For one thing, just as American fans of Japanese cars here like to use JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) parts on their cars, the owners of these Dodges like to use American parts. Many of the vans feature Little Tree air fresheners inside and even have Spectre air filters on the intakes. Who would've thought there would be a market for Autozone's bread and butter auto accessories? Plus, these vans get some other impressive mods. Notice that some vans that appear to have stock metal bumpers, but they're actually fiberglass replicas in the original shape and given a chrome-like paint job. The video's host, an Australian drift fanatic named Alexi who lives in Japan and runs website called Noriyaro.com, gets some great onboard footage, too. One of the vans he rides along in is powered by a generally stock 318 Dodge V8, and still has the original automatic transmission and column shifter. Impressively, the driver manages to manually shift it without grabbing the wrong gear, and even rev matches the shifts. Alexi explains that the driver can catch neutral in-between gears three and two, so there's a brief moment where he can blip the throttle. There's even more information in the video, and it's all fantastic fun to watch. If you decide you haven't seen enough of Dajibans, you can also check out our previous post on it, which is more polished and provides some history and context to the trend.
