UMA DELICA

Is a van the best vehicle for a young, financially struggling 3 piece band to drive themselves and their gear from show to show?

>can take out back seats for instruments and equipment
>can alternate driving, navigating, and napping with front two seats and the middle row for longer trips
>can spray paint it with your band's logo and not have to worry about ruining an aesthetically pleasing vehicle with crappy paint

>>17854873
Yes, you are correct.

>>17854804
is it possible to put a supercharged 3800 in one of those?

>>17854759
Here's a flaw:

That van would be more aerodynamic driven in reverse than forward.

>>17855016

No, it's right.

The back of the car is the part you want sloping down to a point, not the front. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbzwuNCHlXw

I like the Oldsmobile variant better.

Also Aerostar is clearly superior.

No love for the Chrysler minivans?

>>17854804
Had a 3800 Transport
Loved the torque off the line, it was easy to make them chirp, best part was the plastic body panels

>>17855004
I believe so, as long as it had the non fi 3800, an L67 and 4T65-E should fit, you just have to drop the motor out from under

>>17855898
Most of us prefer their transmissions not shitting the bed every year

>>17855898
No because Chrysler a shit. Chrysler transmissions are all crappy and especially in heavy vans. Also crap interior quality and they just fall apart and rust. I have 3 chryslers. Not worth owning. Even my low-mile 1999 Prowler is a headache.

>>17855943
4th Gens are pretty bulletproof. My dad's 05 is up to 285k miles. Sadly, the motor really is starting to go as of late.

There's still so many of those beasts left on the roads. How I don't know. The transmissions are usually so fucked the thing sounds like it's got a supercharger and there's plumes of black smoke coming out the exhaust.

My dad bought exactly the same one as your pic when I was born.
7 years later, it saved our lives from oncoming dump truck and died with honor, so he bought a new one.
Last year he had to sell it because of 13 year tax rule and got pic related.

It ran from 1990-2004, that's a damn good run

What I would love to do, even though L67 swaps are a thing with gen in pic related, I would swap an LX9 considering it drops right in, makes more power and torque than the LA1, is a HELL of a lot more reliable, and can be had for cheap as fuck
Best part about the LX9 is the powdered forged rods that can apparently take a shot ton of abuse according to Milzy, can you say Turbo U-Boat?

>>17856223
Condolences on your Outlander/Lancer in drag. Shame they didn't built it on the Gen 3/4 Pajero platform like previous versions.

>>17855952
Why do you have so many if you hate them, let alone a prowler which is one of the most Niche cars on earth? Not saying your wrong, as I've had chrysler products of that era and had those issues on top of electrical issues (Only good thing about that Grand Cheerokee was the 4.0 held over from AMC) but still.

Isn't the point of a van to carry a bunch of shit?

>>17854759
All joking aside it's fucking impossible to tell how close your nose is to anything in these because the dash is absurdly long.

This.

I mean if you ever find your self broke, and in need of a dining table, go to the junk yard find one of those pull the dash.

The maori battle bus. In 2017 these are still incredibly popular with lower socio economic new Zealander/islander families living in Australia. If they move into your street, time to leave.

>Van thread

Where are the vans? All I see are gay crossovers and mini-"vans".

>>17855898
I got one for $200. They're shitty but they're basically automotive cockroaches. Start looking around and you'll see them everywhere. 3/4 are in terrible condition too, but just refuse to die.

>>17855952
Most of the problems with the 4-speed auto were with the oil. They're supposed to use a proprietary blend and people routinely fill them with Dextron V which just puts them into limp mode. It's surprising how long they can run in that state too, and draining/swapping for the correct fluid usually fixes it. The V6 engines are also pushrod units that while not stellar are also quite simple and neglect-resistant.

Honda makes best minivans.

>>17855898
No idea why not.

Chrysler DEFINED the Minivans in the 80's to mid 90's.

>>17856057
I don't see many of the third-gen models around anymore. I assume those that are left are equipped with the 2.4 or 3.0 with a three speed. Or else they've had the four speed swapped in from a fourth-gen, as by '01 or so they fixed most of the problems.

>>17856826
The Prowler was my dream car as a kid and when one with "high miles" came up for sale in my city (a '99 with 75k miles), I had to buy it. I love it, DESU. It's a fun summer car and it's not bad on gas because V6. Some day I might do an LS/manual swap, but for now it's fine.

The other two are both PT cruisers. One base automatic, the other a GT 5-speed manual. Inherited the base from my grandfather, and got the GT as a practical toy for $800. Turns out that the PTGT is fun as fuck to drive, and has a German transmission so no issues there.
Despite electrical gremlins, the PT Cruiser is super practical for hauling shit around and fairly comfortable. Great visibility, and a small footprint so easy as cake to park, and they aren't too awful to work on and are cheap to maintain.

>>17857492
That is one sporty looking minivan, holy fuck.

These vans have a film on the windshield that's fuckin purple when you wear polarized sunglasses. Shit's annoying.
