1995 Dodge Caravan (tuner-race van) - Lindberg kit

[Ken Car-Fanatic]

So I did this one back around 1999, the place I got the kit from was clearancing-out all there model kits & I got it for $3.00.  Thought it would be fun to play with & try something a bit different, so I lowered it, put a set of Fujimi 18" wheels with big Brembo brakes & a bigger exhaust on it.  Painted it bright metallic orange & put relevant tuner-race decals on it.  Also did white-faced gauges & some aluminum trim inside.  (Of course if it was real, it would have a performance cam, free-flowing heads, headers & big anti-roll bars to go along with lowered stiffer springs).  The kind of van I'd like to drive, if I had to drive one.

Just an idea, but thanks for looking.

Thanks, it really wasn't a great kit, but it was fun to build.

What a Fun way to build that Van.

I owned a real one for almost 8 years, and still have the kit, someplace.

 

Good Show.

That's awesome! I kind of regret not picking one of these up, when I saw them at Ollie's.

It’s really cool Ken!  Built in 99 it is way ahead of its time.  I look forward to seeing more of your work.  Happy Holidays.

Thanks.  The top-side & interior are pretty decent, but the under-side & chassis was almost more toy-like, so sad to say, you probably didn't really miss-out on anything by not getting one.

Thanks, I just recently started getting back into model building, so I hope to keep showing more in the future.  Happy Holidays to you as well.

Yeah, but it's the only domestic minivan kit. Kind of like the Sebring convertible and Dodge Dakota, Lindbergh is the only manufacturer to offer one.
