The other day I get an email from my sister-in-law’s ex-boyfriend with a Craigslist link and this:

new idea for a project – what do yo think about this one 🙂

it’s the bomb! tho he said it was a NP 205 transfer case but more likely its a 203.

Well, I love it! While we had a ’91 Dodge conversion van in the family, I do not know much about these. The ad is written in an odd way too; first the seller needs money for school and then considers a trade for a Ducati. The seller also says that the wiper motor needs replacement and that the heads need to be ported. Hmm… interesting choice of priorities.

Here is a super rare 1977 Dodge Van Charger Custom Sportsman with the Factory Approved Pathfinder 4×4 conversion. I just bought this in the last month and since then found out I got excepted into school. So priorities have shifted. This thing is a blast to drive because unlike newer cars, you actually drive this thing! I have a list of all of the things that need to be done to it (About $2600.00 worth if you have it done at a mechanic, but only around $1k in parts if you DIY ). Some things that need to be done are; New Radiator, Adjust the Carb, Port the heads, new wiper motor, some break work and some electrical work. I have a Itemized list if you come look at it. I really don’t want to sell it so Im firm on the price (Just looking to break even). It has a small block 400 with less than 50k miles on it and less than 98k original. The transmission has been redone. Has little to no rust. It’s all time 4WD with a NP 205 Transfer Case. A solid wood oak floor has been installed, new shag carpet interior on the walls plus new insulation. Basically Allot of restoration has already begun and just needs some finishing. Has a custom roof rack also with spare tire, ax, jack, and jerry can mounts. Van could have a ton of life left if someone puts a little time and money into it. I may consider a trade for a Ducati Monster. Other than that, no trades or negotiations.
