pics of my 1994 $500 AWD beater

Ever see a good deal that you can't pass up?? I bought it from an elderly couple who were going to junk it if it didn't sell, and that's what the yard offered, $250 a ton.









I was hoping for 3.73s and a G80, but no luck. It runs and drives great, although I think it needs a new spider, which I happen to have.

The only thing weird is that it has an oily substance in the coolant. The oil and trans fluid are good, no coolant, and the levels don't seem to drop. It doesn't get hot. I'm suspect of the oil/trans coolers, so I'm going to swap out the radiator for a good one from my LT parts van.

Other than being dirty as heck, it's pretty sweet. Now what to do with it......

Looks like a decent find Roy.Why not fix and clean then sell on ebay for like $1,500.

nice van!!! and a sweet deal too!!!! you could always lose your mind and give those middle row chairs, dutch doors and front air dam away to me!! actually just some new rims and a bath would do wonders i think...

[WVKayaker]

Cool van!!!

i'm sorry did someone just say 11 inch lift..... looks like a sweet deal how do you guys find these things?

[peter]

Wow, and AWD to boot?

I say swap a late-model front end on it, 325/60's on modded OEM steel rims, mebbe a 502 BBC running in front of a 4L80.....

Oh wait. Uhhh, never mind

502... that's it we need bigger with a nice DANA 60 rear end.....

502... that's it we need bigger with a nice DANA 60 rear end.....

See that's just it...you put a real rear axle in there, like a Dana 60, and you could even go with a big block 572.

BTW..sweet beater van!

Thanks guys...I'm hoping to fool with it this weekend. I love the idea of the SAS and 11" lift, D60, 572, rims, etc; but I plan to keep it stock and just drive it for now so I can work on my frankenstein project.


ps...I love the color

Of course you do, silly. It's the colour of great men and great minds. None of that pukey green that Dean's eysore sports, or the gawdawful neon green that Darren "one day" intends to paint his rolling billboard for primer with.

Hey watch the pukey geen comments



Of course it is going to be this color soon



Speaking of blue this is my other choice

[peter]

That last pic is pretty well the colour of my service fleet
