    1:00 = Window Louvers ... popular add-on back in the early 80's for trucks and vans.

    Grew up riding in a '95 Dodge van very similar to this only purple. We had it for 12 years until the floors rusted out and we had to scrap it, but the motor never died! Looking to get my own now and hope to come across a nice find like this! Thanks for the video.

      My family had a 98 elk conversion it was an awesome van so many memories! We got rid of it for $500 dollars after the catalytic converter got clogged and would stall it out. The guy that bought the van fixed it and still drives it to this day and says it's the best 500 dollars he's ever spent because it never left him stranded.

    Got a 1995/1996 Dodge Ram Van 2500 (Imperial), has only 54,000+ miles. In pristine condition. Smooth in everything... Not sure why Dodge stop making these Conversion vans. I prefer old school vans than the sprinter ones.

    Nice and clean van. 1994-1997 Dodge Ram Van Grille. 1971-1997 Dodge Ram Van Generation. Well 1998-2003 Dodge Ram Van drives faster than 1997 or older models.

    I had an 02, and loved it. Only problem is the cheap steel Chrysler uses. These tend to rot out from underneath until the entire front subframe just falls out from under it. I got rid of mine well before that happened, but still see it around once in a while. Not sure about the subframe, but the body sure is starting to get rough.

    Im looking at a 1997 today .
    There probably going to sell it to me for 2 ,300
    But they have spent 5000 around on repairs new transmission battery tires windshield and more 3 owners . But has over 200 thousand.
    But that year probably not to bad of a deal .

    3:35 Don’t have the thing above the passenger airbag because if the airbag goes off the thing that was above the passenger side airbag will come hurling at you.

    They must have changed the dash in 98. We had a 98 and the steering wheel and gauges were a lot different.
