Hello all,
Sorry not to get back to you individually, but there were over 50 of you
requesting parts from this van, and this is just easier...

Anyway, finally heard from the shop on the wrecked syncro I posted about a
week ago.  The odometer shows about 79K, yet the engine is about blown, only
half the brakes are working, no road test possible, mismatched tires, etc.,
etc.  In short, it has been whipped.

Also, the van has Florida plates, a Chicago owner, and for some reason was
spending time in Nederland, CO.  Don't know how title would have looked.

Basically, my Spidey Sense was tingling, and I decided this was a losing
game if I'd ever seen one.  I appreciate all the interest, and am sorry this
one won't happen.

Best of luck finding the things you need, and I'll post again if the
opportunity arises.

If anyone is interested in rolling the dice, contact me off-list and I'll
give you the needed info.  By way of reminder, it is located in the
Denver/Boulder area.

tx,
bmc  :)
