 This van was brought to the local garage because some criminal had hack-sawed the catalytic converter off of it one night. The owner was not able to pay for the repairs, so it sat at the garage's lot for about a year. I inquired about it and bought it off the owner for storage fees. I bought it because the A/C was good and I needed parts for my work van. Unfortunately, my van does not have the dual climate zones setup (this van does have the rear A/C and heat), so none of the parts I wanted will change over.

It runs and drives. Engine is strong and transmission feels good. It needs a "Y" pipe and catalytic converter.
The brakes feel a little sluggish. I only drove it out of the lot onto a trailer, then off the trailer and into my driveway; so I think it's just the rust on the brake rotors that was feeling odd, but I have not taken it down the road.
The rear differential is a limited-slip posi. I do not know the gear ratio.
The interior is musty from sitting for a year and would need cleaned. The headliner surface material is sagging, but the backing structure is not. The seats are in good shape. The carpet is pretty dirty but not torn up.
The listed mileage is rounded up. I know it is 150-something from when I got it, but the battery is dead so I couldn't check it without jumping it again.
The tires are all low on tread, but acceptable and hold air. 3 of 4 center caps are present.
It's originally from Virgina. There is rust here and there, but it's very minimal for what vans this age usually looks like. The doors are very nice on the bottoms  as are the rockers.
It was a private daily driver up till the vandalism; that's really all I know about it.
I just want to get my money back out of it. I paid $1200 and think it's well worth it in useful parts or fixed as a driver, but I already have a van and don't need it.
I'd like to take as little loss as possible; so only serious offers please.
I might consider parting it out, but I'd like to see if it'll go whole first. Feel free to submit any offers for any parts you are interested in should I decide to part it out.

If you have questions that aren't answered here or in the pictures, I probably won't know the answer; but you can try if you like and I'll do my best.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football

Fri, 16 May 2014

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
