All which likely contributed to the former owner giving or selling the van. Emissions issues may only require a major tune-up and a new cat. Probably needs a master cylinder too. There's small dings here and there and interior a little scruffy. Power mirrors but everything else manual.

Doesn't matter to me because I have documentation why it was junked. But since this is one project too many, need to eventually sell.
