Fresh back from Vegas, SLC, Moab, Telluride and Carbondale, Colorado! This is a 1984 Dodge Van with extended body 4x4 van - V8 engine that always starts, runs smooth and drives great! Originally a CA vehicle, so it's a clean runner. It has a lift, 4x4 drive train and a high top as you can see in the photos. It's reliable, tight and mechanically sound. Engine rebuilt around 90K, so it's fresh and solid. It's a great opportunity to create your own / finish this home build or have someone add in the rest for you. We've camped in it, driven it around town and all over the Western US and had a lot of fun.  We've owned it for a few years and hate to see her go. Reliable and fun traveling all over OR, CA, ID, CO, UT and more. A great camper, mobile hunting cabin, home-built Sportsmobile-type rig, surf van, Baja traveler or whatever you want to do! Just won runner up in Van Life competition in CO.

Details:
+ Miles: 118, 223 on body. Regular maintenance done and full engine rebuild done at 90k or close to it.
+ Just had full coolant service, multi point inspection, oil / filter change
+ New front brakes / tuned rotors
+ Fresh coolant / radiator inspection
+ Multi-point inspection passed with flying colors
+ Newly repacked bearings / replaced seals
+ Dana transmission
+ New rotary fuel pump at 109K miles - done at Larry H Miller Dodge in Boise (all work done there since living in Boise)
+ New Big O Tires 285/75R16 tires at 111,209 miles (brand new shoes!) ($900)
+ Brand new custom memory foam cushions in back -- leatherette for easy cleaning and comfort ($600) -- never slept on, but super comfortable
+ Brand new high-end leatherette covered folding sofa bed (best foam we could find) ($650) - bins fit great underneath for storage and sofa folds with them underneath
+ Extended body vehicle
+ 2 sky vents on top
+ Front passenger chair swivels toward back
+ New neoprene seat covers
+ New Alpine Stereo & 6x9 Kenwood speakers purchased & installed at Best Buy in Boise 8/13 ($500)

+ Awning attached for shade over the side slide door
+ Tinted windows (fresh UV resistant curtain)
+ MPG is 13+ give or take no matter what. It has a 30-gallon tank, so it's easy to get about 300-330 miles to the tank...but I never pushed it past 310.
+ Reflectix insulation installed throughout (side walls and doors double insulated with Owens Corning EcoTouch insulation as well) for superior warmth - think about parking for the weekend to ski at Brundage, Targhee, Tahoe, Baker...

+ Foam pad below oak floor for quiet and insulation

+ Table unscrews and turns into a bed - sleeps 4!
+ Surge protector installed for shore power option
+ Drives well and is comfortable on the highway
+ Ladder for top access
+ 2" hitch in rear for trailer, rack, towing a boat...

Other things to note in general:
- This is a project or finished, it's up to you - the interior isn't "finished" but we built it to our needs / wants. Mechanically, this is a solid vehicle, but you can make it your own on the inside. The hard work is done (rust mitigation, insulation, some interior build out) but from above the line of the van / high top, it's insulated, but not finished. We left it this way to put surfboards / paddleboards inside the van for safety
- comes with spare tire
- no back bumper
- custom front bumper is ready for a wench
- has a/c but it's currently disconnected
- heat / defrost works great!
- always starts right up no matter what, but is a little slow to get warmed up when it's very cold out (below 10 degrees)
- all glass in tact and sealed
- new-ish paint
- up to date service

Comes with all receipts, jack, Hayes manual and a few other parts (extra seat belt, tail lights, filters, etc.) and is ready to roll. Also has blueprints for interior options.

Title in hand for easy sale.
Delivery is 100% buyer's responsibility - I will help arrange pick up.

Does the future of Fiat-Chrysler include Dodge?

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

Wards Auto reports the future of Dodge is looking uncertain. Fiat has more or less laid out it's game plan for the next few years, and while the Chrysler, Fiat and Jeep lines are set to receive plenty of love, Dodge isn't so lucky. Fiat has already hobbled Dodge significantly by splitting off the brand's trucks into a separate Ram line.
Wards says that after the Avenger rides off into the sunset early next year, Fiat-Chrysler won't replace the model, leaving a gaping midsize hole in the Dodge lineup. The report also cites unnamed sources as saying that at least two other current Dodge products will move to the Chrysler line.
One of those could very well be the Grand Caravan. Chrysler has already made it clear that it plans to trim redundancy between its minivan offerings, but it has yet to clarify which other vehicle could sail under the Chrysler banner moving forward. Either way, such changes to the product line would theoretically leave Dodge with just four models.

Cars.com runs 11-second quarter with Dodge Charger Hellcat

Mon, Jun 1 2015

The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and its Challenger sibling are two of the heroes of the modern performance world. With a headline-grabbing 707 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, their output even shames many supercars. But how quick can one really cover a quarter mile? Cars.com recently decided to find out by taking a Charger Hellcat to the drag strip to see if the sedan lived up to Dodge's 11-second claims. The results were quite impressive. After 13 quarter-mile runs of adjusting variables like the tire pressures and the car's various electronic aids, the Charger Hellcat managed a pass in 11.03 seconds at 126.61 mph – the pinnacle result of the day. This car was mechanically stock and wore the optional Pirelli P Zero tires. According to Cars.com, other quick sprints reached 11.09 seconds and 11.1 seconds, which even beat the site's 11.41-second best from a Challenger Hellcat last year. Getting the Hellcat's prodigious power down without losing traction was a challenge, even on the summer tires. Cars.com thought it had a run that could have dropped below 11 seconds, but then the wheels spun. Using the factory-recommended pressures, the Charger Hellcat was no still slouch with an 11.27-second time recorded, but taking things down to 25 psi proved the quickest at the strip. We already knew that the Charger Hellcat was a wonderful vehicle for eating up huge gulps of asphalt at high speeds and could verify its 204-mile-per-hour top speed (quite a bit faster, incidentally, than the Ferrari California T's 196 mph top-speed). Apparently, the 11-second quarter-mile claim is just as accurate. Also, for any curious owners, the Cars.com story divulges many of the tweaks required to reach this seriously quick time.
