I love the body styles of these 1991-1995 Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth minivans. They were HUGELY succesful for the Chrysler Corporation as families everywhere bought them in droves. They were rounded off just enough to look elegant but not too bubbly to look like a rolling jellybean(which the 1996-2002 look like). I love that you're doing rescues for these vans and i'm excited to see this baby cleaned up and running down the road.

[@MNMoparMinivan]

@klwthe3rd glad to hear it. Hopefully she will make her way down the road again (:

[@klwthe3rd]

@@MNMoparMinivan Are the list of vans that you have on your KZbin home page still for sale? I'm fairly new to the channel and i found that list of a few of those vehicle still unsold??? I assume you sell alot of these vans to your viewing audience? Also do you have a P.O. Box that fans can mail you things in regards to your minivans?? I have alot of original owners manuals that might match your year minivans.

[@MNMoparMinivan]

@klwthe3rd i don't have a po box or anything like that. Never needed to set one up. I don't try to market to viewers, granted if anyone is interested they certainly can send me an email. It's listed on the channel description. I try to keep it updated mostly for my sake haha

[@hunter371]

Agreed, these are the nicest looking minivans of the 20th century and the form/function of them are still among the best ever produced

[@billymcmanus9642]

I've never seen anyone get excited for a minivan lol but I had a 93 Town and country emerald green with wood paneling tinted glass tan leather seats fully loaded with the Infinity cd player 6 cylinder. It was a great van to drive from where I live in Boston Massachusetts to Miami and back did that trip several times. I put the bug guard deflector on the hood it was great for keeping the windshield from getting cracked from pebbles or anything on the highway i also put rain guards on the front doors. I loved it great van

[@MNMoparMinivan]

@@billymcmanus9642 sounds like you had a nice van!! I don't think I've seen a green one with woodgrain trim. Thank you for sharing!

[@klwthe3rd]

@@MNMoparMinivan Yeah the emerald green Town and Countries was a very popular color for those vans. Probably thee most popular colors in the Northeast. Wood paneling or without. It could be had either way. Beautiful color.

My grandfather had an 89 Blue Voyager with the 3.0 V6. A 95 Grand Caravan Se w the 3.3. And a 01 Chrysler T & C Limited with the 3.8. I have always love 2nd gen Caravans ever since I drove my grandfathers. I love to find one with all wheel drive.😊❤

[@MNMoparMinivan]

Very cool! Was it the dark or light blue? The 2nd gens are my favorite as well. My AWD TC is very nice I recommend if you can find one (:

[@Hobotraveler82]

@MNMoparMinivan Cool. Thanks. I believe the 89 Voyager was light blue with a dark blue interior.

[@klwthe3rd]

@@Hobotraveler82 The 2nd gens are my favorite too. But the 1st gens are NOT far behind. The first gens are really rare and started the minivan craze by Chrysler Corp.

[@MNMoparMinivan]

@@Jeffrey-julis It was a 2000 Chrysler Voyager behind it. I passed on it because it had a broken camshaft I guess.

We need a Caravan guru like this! Buddy had one with electrical gremlins. Sold it to a lady that didn't care. Tires blow at 300psi if they aren't dry rotted.

[@MNMoparMinivan]

@sethmorgan3697 thanks so much. I don't mind another daily. Catch to driving exclusively 30 year vehicles is that you need a backup when one (or more) are undergoing maintenance. I like to rotate them anyway. Keeps it interesting. And I would be happy to hear you save one!

[@sethmorgan3697]

@ ya I’ve been looking at a few of them of them I’ll let you know if I grab one! I do love them! And makes sense you definitely have a good amount of them now which makes the channel fun to watch! Thanks for the content can’t wait to see more!

[@coolmre158]

love these cars 🚙 i had 2

[@dmcnamara9859]

Car makers often times "dump" oddly configured vehicles on to dealers lots as part of their allotment ( whether New or Rental returns). With major fixed contracts to companies that supply components,many times vehicles will be equipped strangely, premium sound,deluxe interior,etc. for vehicles never ordered with them; so the inventory of components never gets out of hand that the car company agreed to pay for based on assumptions of potential consumer wants and demands. Case in point,the rebadged Chrysler minivan that VW sold as their own; overpriced that few people bought. It was a nightmare for Chrysler and VW, crapload of stuff ( specific for VW badged version)that would eventually be thrown away,yet Chrysler footed the bill from suppliers.

[@BruisersBeaters]

There is a 1995 Chrysler Town & Country version of this van in a private junk yard I have permission to take stuff from. I took the infinity stereo out, but it has all the faux wood, leather, digital instruments. It's also been parked since 2005. 3.3L, I have been debating asking him what he would want for the van whole. I live in South East Wisconsin. I'll ask him about it sometime if you want. It's rough, and the transmission fluid if black, so I imagine thats why it got parked but it sure would be good for parts. I've wanted to remove the digital instrument cluster a few times just never have.

[@williamdesmarais4931]

Id love to buy anything on the kcar platform. I remember buying up 2.2 and 2.5 cars with blown head gaskets for $250. Spend $25 on a head gasket and run it then sell it.

[@Stephster11]

I have a white 94 with 80k original miles that's been sitting since 2011. Broken leaf springs, bad fuel pump, blows brake lines etc. But this gives me hope. If you come across a rust free donor body with the 3.0, please send it my way!!

[@MNMoparMinivan]

Very cool! I'm curious what would have broke the leafs on one with only 80k miles. Are they super rusty? They do make leaf springs for these still so that's cool. Just a bit spendy, and you have to reuse/find oem shackles. As long as the inner rails and suspension mounts points aren't completely rotten it's savable. Good luck!

[@markamcampbell5795]

i have a 95 grand caravan. it rund good just pops into neutral every now and then and the ac doesn't work not bad for 300 bucks.

[@PeteO-v4y]

Anything running and driving for $300 is good.

[@MNMoparMinivan]

@markamcampbell5795 yeah not bad at all! As for the trans, fluid full on the dipstick when it's hot? These transmissions will drop out of gear if they're just a quart low.

Hopefully it happens for you i love these I actually had one of first turbo charged one the short wheelbase it waz fast

[@MNMoparMinivan]

@jamespn it does! Not sure if I did or not. It should get brought up in a future episode though (:

[@mikelathen8397]

Nice.

[@wkat950]

It'll be a demanding vehicle to resurrect. If you want it to just run that's a task in and of itself. If you want it to not smell like mold and poop I see where you'd want to replace the seats, remove the carpet and headliner/replace above, and yank the dash out to vacuum and fumigate it. Mouse poop has loads of bacteria. And by all means paint it good and get it running right. If passing drivers see you driving slow in a disreputable-looking van they'll think you're like public tv's Red Green.

[@MNMoparMinivan]

A challenge is what makes it fun! You'll have to stick around to see if we can manage it. If I end up looking like Im from Red Green, thats good enough for me (:

[@thestuffz]

oh you tease so badly at the end! Also I feel bad for grey van in that storm!

[@markamcampbell5795]

stop cranking it until you get oil pressure. you need to prime the oil pump. it has been sitting for a few years.

[@MNMoparMinivan]

@markamcampbell5795 just how would you do that on a Chrysler 3.3 now?

[@Wageslave645]

@@MNMoparMinivan If it were me, I would use an LS style priming tool through the oil pressure port. That being said, I probably wouldn't go through the trouble unless there is a timing chain tensioner that is run off of oil pressure.

[@MNMoparMinivan]

Good advice. Oil pump is driven directly off the crank snout on these engines don't have tensioners for the chain. So no good access besides what you have suggested. Theres always residual oils on the bearings... and if there isn't there was likely a problem anyway. A little cranking without spark or fuel to prime it up isn't going to hurt imo.
