i never thought one even existed but today i saw a late eighties early ninties dodge full size van with a v 8 and a 5 speed standard trans, at tafts of course so it cannot be bought but i might snag the tranny. incredible!
not rare? i dont know about that, ive never seen one ever, i didnt think dodge even made a standard full size van, my buddies father had a standard 1986 dodge minivan, but there were alot of those made. oh and it was turbo too.
lol road runners are not rare either.. my 66 coronet that came with o-e power windows , ya kinda with only 300 odd built out of a total of 45000 units
it's a 383 auto, 323 sure grip (o-e ?) ,ps - pb , big drum ,duel exhaust ,bucket console ,500 hard top to boot too - garbage bag green with black top -- an original toronto car that's still saveabley solid too
I really should put it back together sometime - I have a 66-7 charger dash cluster and glovebox door I had chromed to go in it too
a dodge van with std trans - not very common a guy I went to school with had a sweet black shortie - 318 stick and hoped up a little
it ran 15.87 with a full 70's style interior in it and was really good for snapping driveshafts lol

got a t5 out of a astro van couple of years ago. thought that was rare. not valuable but rare none the least.
there were only 11 standard astrovans sold in Canada, I had one actually, from a friend of mine. it was rotted out though but I kept the trans as well, they junk though so its not worth much
I drove a early 90's van years ago that was a 5 speed. A friend borrowed it from a friend of his but he couldn't drive a standard. I ended up driving it. I thought it was odd that a full size fan had a 5 speed in it. Not sure if it was a V8 though, if I remember correctly it was gutless.
Rare yes, the only one I've ever seen. Desirable, no.

I have seen a couple with the 3.9, but never seen one with a V8. One of the suppliers for a machine shop my friend owns had about 3 of them, all shorty vans, with the 3.9/5 Speed combo.
