And the starter and tranny and halfshafts were still there, but based
on the miserable condition of the throwout bearing, oil in the
bellhousing, and destroyed shifter ball, maybe the tranny is why the
van was there in the first place.
Also, the body was orange on the bottom and cream on top, with Oak
leaves stenciled on at the beltline. The sunroof appeared to still be
there, retracted into the roof. Sunroof crank was broken.
