I drove this van when brand new to 33,000+ miles and by weird twist of fate got it back 35 years later. Got it back at 38,000 actual miles now just past 44,000. Between stuck valves and water in the differential it's been a adventure to restore and many times I asked my self why but it was worth it. Good on gas. Will go forever on 35 gallon tank. I pull up to 5000 lbs with it. The slant six will pull like a mule. I can normally run down the highway in OD and still pull that kind of weight. She's not a show piece but she cleaned up pretty good. You can find more photos and info here. http://townwire.com/the_dodge_van.htm |

Cool story! Glad to see another slanted van out there. Looks like it has held up pretty well. |

How did I miss this? That's an excellent looking van. I drove one with that same drive train and you're right, the gas mileage was impressive for such a big vehicle. Never towed with it though. More pics! |
