10,000 miles on rebuilt 4.3&700r4

Hello everyone.
I am a car enthusiast in Georgia and recently happened on this van by chance really. The original owners son hit a 4x4 with it and they couldn't afford to fix it. But I am going over maint records.
Current Odometer is 132,268
The tranny was re-built up by Keith Turner Transmission @ 119,467 miles on 01-31-01 as well as antilock brake system maintainence.
Engine was replaced on 06/13/01 with an AARON'S Automotive PROFormance longblock and new waterpump& thermostat was installed, Milage is not indicated on invoive but is obviously between the 119,467 on invoice from 01-31-01 and current reading of 132,268.
Power window motor was replaced a few days before the engine.
Front brake rotors and pads were replaced on 03/09/2003 and the alternator was replaced on 05-10-2003.

I really hate to see this end up in a crusher so I am only postin gthis up on automotive message boards in the hopes that someone can get some good use out of it.
Also since this thing is now sitting in my driveway with no tag I need to get rid of it A.S.A.P So I am advertizing it locally and elsewhere for $500.

The front clip, radiator, A/C condensor coil headlights etc were all pushed back and demolished. But a few yanks on the core support frame allowed me access to remove the demolished components and get it running on the first crank.

Appears the person who crashed it was unconcious for a few minutes and the engine was still running with he radiator in the fan&pulleys which caused the ac clutch to catch on fire so the AC is no good nor the clutch fan, wiper motor, radiator (of course) and a few wires going to the abs brain.

Other than that it runs fine started up first try idles nice. The brakes work it even felt like the allignment/suspention was in order when I was towing it.


Shame to part this thing out a radiator,fan, belt, and some headlights and it'd be on the road.




Last but not least here it is running for a few seconds. I couldn't let it warm up as there is no radiator or fan and I couldn't rev it either as there seems to be no throttle cable. Still started right up

Anyway if anybody in the Atlanta area wants it I can deliver it within 60 miles of atlanta. Yes it has a good title.
