They didn't make a whole lot with the 5 speed and thought I better pic it up....This is the 3rd Astro/Safari I have seen with the 5 speed since Boop 1....it was a 4 cyl 5 speed when I bought it.....

Looks to be in primer. Since that is one of your favorite colors (remember Boop II in primer first few years) How about some big racing stripes over the hood in a lighter shape of black primer, roof and down the back. That would go well on a Sport Boop Coupe along with some of those inexpensive black wheels they sell at Canadian Tire or just paint those rims or maybe powder coat them if that works.
I hope you stayed home this weekend to get Thumpin' ready for Vanwest ... Ghostrider called me from P.E.I Thursday asking where they moved the van run to. lol I did find it for him.

Did you get that here in Ontario, or down south out of "rust alley". My '91 Dodge RamVan came from the 'states', just not sure where. the underbody is very clean...Brad | | | Re: New van #84942 August 07th 2006 10:15 pm | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 231 enthusiast | | OP enthusiast Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 231 | Nahhh got it here...and rust alley...I think it was king there....lol
