funny CL find...

space man said: This Grand Caravan LE (Lockheed Edition) was a prototype developed by Dodge with input from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratories and Lockheed Martin. The exterior of the vehicle is completely stock Dodge...with one telltale exception...the afterburner taillights. In fact, this vehicle is so advanced, the manufacturers don't refer to them as simply "taillights"...they are called "navigational beacons". This is a 1998 model year and I have owned it for 2 1/2 years with no issues. Although there are 210K miles on the vehicle, it still performs very well. This is probably because, before I bought it, it had only been used once...as a Lunar Transport Vehicle. This would account for the first 190K miles. (before any of you techie, geek types start explaining that the moon, at its closest, is 225,622 miles away, please realize that the wheels were not spinning the entire trip...duh!!) I got a really good deal on this vessel when I bought it at a government auction (only $2.3M), so I am prepared to pass the savings along to you. I am willing to part with it at 1/1000 of my cost. That's a savings of $2,297,700. I've already gotten several inquiries from small, but insistent, military dictatorships in Southeast Asia, but would be much more comfortable keeping this cutting edge, high tech engineering marvel stateside. The lucky buyer will also get a slightly used copy of Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace"...which, based on my wife's purchase of a small, expensive convertible, is vastly overrated and holds no sway in any of our fiscal decisions. Please consider increasing your stockpile with this valuable asset before I am forced to sell it to Myanmar. Serious inquiries only. God Bless America.

Props for creativity. Funny how chrysler playing parts bin diving with the durango resulted with apc taillights for mini vans.

It's a fake. The real Lockheed Editions have this badge.
