As a fellow Pulsar owner, someone should definitely pick this up. They're certainly not fast at ~70HP, but, they're a poo poo load of fun if you upgrade the suspension and drive it at it's limits.

Yeah, you couldn't even come close to building it for the price he's asking. That intake was $700-ish new just by itself.

I'm guessing some kid (or his gullible parents) bought this and now he is in way over his head.

Either way I'd buy it. Looks like a fun way to die.

For Sale today is a 1997 Chevorlet Express custom Van, winner at car shows and participant in charity events

Lets get right to the details, the Van has red and black leather seats in the front with the Draggin Toyz lettering, and black and red bean bag chairs on custom stands the light up in blue and pulsate, also has a Large TV in the back and a smaller TV with the frame of an Etch it sketch on the side, and a DVD player and TV in the dash, and an amazing custom sound system to top it all off.

There are 8 speakers and 2 down force 12's installed providing loud, crisp, clear sound and vibrations. There is LED lighting behind plexy bases of the sitting area illuminating your way and enhancing the audio / video experiences!! It has a "sunroof" that is cut out made custom.

Another great feature is the air bags that allow control of the ride height and drop, as well as individual control of each of the bags. As far as we are aware this van is the worlds only 1ton express van that will lay full frame!!

The outer just like the inside fully detailed and all 100% hand done, custom paint and airbrushed art work as seen in the pictures, done on the outside such as front and rear bumper (rear bumper has some scratches) painted to look like wood panels riveted together, and wood looking strip that goes down either side, and pictures from the build to see the airbushed art work when it was done (see pics) and also airbrushed side graphic ''Draggin Toyz''

The lower half of the van as well as inner doors are all finished in actual chalk board finish!!! That means you can write on it, display charity info, advertise and market an event or object. There are so many things that can be done and have been done. It is only limited by your imagination. This van always demands attention and puts a smile on the faces of those who have enjoyed it.

20'' wheels in the rear and 18'' in the front for an even and smooth ride, headlights and tail lights all working, Engine and Transmission run great no problems with the Van at all as far as performance and daily driving, has remote start and car security system.

Selling for 29500$ or best offer possible trades if its worth the price listed or higher, any further questions please feel free email me, call or text at show contact info ask for Trent

Transmission is on the weak side as was mentioned (and just like any FWD/AWD Mazda of the era). Check for severe rust on the lower rad support and front subframe. Everything else is simple, bulletproof Mazda Lego (when you're done with it you can sell the engine to a Festiva guy, BPTs make Festivas into death machines that rival the Viper in insanity level).

I went to check out this one http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/4684187614.html

Had some rear wheel bearing noise, an occasionally grinding 1st or 2nd. Also had some slight crank wobble at idle.

Still felt awesome on boost, and it's only lived in California and Colorado so it's basically rust free.

I wouldn't touch it honestly, any operational problems with the transmission mean it has been launched or wasn't maintained. Crank wobble isn't that big of an issue, it'd be something to have a mechanic check if you purchase it. Open timing belt and incorrectly installed eBay catch can is some straight up ricer poo poo and 100% means its well on its way to be trashed.

That car is really odd, since it has the same HKS parts list as my first 323 GTX, same wheels, same color, and even the same price I sold it for.

I think it is a combination of the tinted windows and the overall murdered-out look that is helping to hide the terrible body lines. Those cars had miles of chrome trim and it really highlighted how bulbous and hideous they were.

The description in the ad of it being cut in half and rewelded out of two cars is a bit shady, but if it was well done it would be fine.
