14,000 watts!! Well, you wouldn't need hydraulics to make that van jump.


Would this fall under the category of Wretched Excess?

And all for a mere $85,000.00

A couple of things I noticed...

1) The armored car style split windshield. How many dB do you think the stock glass could stand?

2) They didn't list the cost of the van in the price breakdown. They probably picked it up for less than the cost of a half dozen of those amps...

3) It is an extended cargo van. I thought all the cargo vans with barn doors were shorties. Did Ford build extended cargos or did they do a conversion because the fiberglass hatch wouldn't stand up to the abuse?

Yes there were Cargo Extended, they just had glass all the way around instead of panels. The only differnce between the two is about a 1-1/2', all the mounts are the same.
