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!

Continental Automotive recalls 5 million airbag control units

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Takata isn't the only supplier having airbag problems. Rival manufacturer Continental Automotive Systems announced a recall of 5 million airbag control units fitted to vehicles from Honda, Fiat Chrysler Automotive, Mercedes-Benz, and even a certain Chrysler-based Volkswagen. This sweeping recall has actually been in progress for some time, although the exact scope is only now becoming evident. In October of 2015, Mercedes-Benz recalled 2008 and 2009 model year C- and GLK-Class vehicles because their Continental-made airbag control units could corrode. Such a condition could cause the airbags to deploy without cause or warning, or in the event of a crash, not deploy at all. You can read all about it in our post from last year. Now, Continental's recall is going wide. Alongside the already recalled C and GLK, you've already heard about the 2008 and 2009 Honda Accord airbag recall, which we reported on yesterday. Now, Fiat Chrysler is announcing the recall of the 2009 Dodge Journey, as well as the 2008 and 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, and their rebadged counterpart, the Volkswagen Routan. Yes, one manufacturer is recalling another manufacturer's vehicle. The models listed above only amount to about 580,000 vehicles out of 5 million bad airbag control units. And since Continental will notify manufacturers who will then issue their own recalls, it's extremely likely that more brands and vehicles will be ensnared. Stay tuned.

Rare Dodge Daytona found in barn heads for auction

Tue, Dec 15 2015

An American icon is headed to Mecum's Kissimmee, Florida auction next January. Charlie Lyons, owner of a restoration shop focused on old Chrysler products, got a lead on a two-owner 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona that had been sitting in a barn in Glenwood, Alabama for decades. Dodge built 560 Charger Daytonas (Canada and US production) to homologate the model for NASCAR racing, and then that car and the successor Plymouth Superbird terrorized NASCAR tracks for 18 months. The production car, however, 18 feet long and considered ugly, wasn't popular at the time, so many were beat up or simply disappeared. Around 385 are thought to exist today. Lyons said the first owner of this car was the town judge, who bought it for his wife. In 1974 the second owner - just 18 years old at the time - bought it for $1,800 so he could drive it to Panama City, Florida, for Spring Break, and had flames painted on the front fenders and the scallops trimmed in white. Otherwise this barn find is complete and stock, with matching numbers throughout, R4 Charger Red paint and a white tail, bucket seats, center console, three-speed TorqueFlite automatic, and 20,553 miles on the 440-cubic-inch Magnum V8. Hot Rod has the long story of how Lyons found the car and convinced the owner to sell for what he jokingly called "a shoebox full of folded money." Hagerty says a concours-worthy model can command $262,000. Mecum's pre-sale estimate for this Charger Daytona is $150,000 to $180,000. That sounds steep, but Mecum did sell another perfectly restored Hemi-powered 1969 Charger Daytona for $900,000 at this year's Kissimmee auction to actor David Spade. Related Video:
