Vw Syncro Project - 3 Vans Included on 2040-cars

Year:1986 Mileage:189809
Location:

Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania, United States

Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania, United States

SYNCRO PROJECT - I thought I could handle it... I was wrong.

Too much rust.

I bought a rust free van, and I'm unloading these.


Here is what's included: 

1986 Syncro - non locker - most of interior removed, except for front seats and rear bench (no carpet etc.) - runs and drives GREAT - VC works great - AC unit is falling from roof - don't know if it works

1987 Syncro - SUNROOF works awesome - locking trans removed (included) - no engine - weekender interior - front diff and suspension all there (never driven - not sure of condition)

1991 (I think) red donor van - body only - totally stripped - for rust repair - see pics

2 sets of front doors with power windows & locks

Extra sliding door

Extra rear window

Boxes of parts and stuff

I'm sure there is more that I'm forgetting - I will update the ad if I remember anything...

The 86 is very solid and was going to be my foundation, requiring mostly body work to be road worthy.  will need other minor work to get on the road - I got most of the electrical bugs worked out, but not all.

The 87 (sunroof) is extremely rusty, but also very rare - I had a guy from a body shop out to look at it and he said it is certainly repairable, but it would be very expensive. My intent was to transplant the roof and interior into the running van. It has the "weekender" interior (which I think is really 'multivan') but no front seats - but that's ok because the front seats in the '86 are pretty decent.

I have spoken to several people who say that a Syncro-Sunroof is the rarest and should not be cut up. If it does not sell in this auction, and I am forced to sell everything individually, it is not likely that I will sell it. I will transplant the roof and interior to my other van as I originally intended.

There is enough here to build a nice Syncro with a sunroof and a rear locking diff.

THE MERCEDES WHEELS WITH NEW TIRES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE - they will be replaced with stock 14" vanagon alloys - I have 5 - 4 of which have good tires.

YOU WILL NEED TO TOW ALL 3 VANS AWAY - the one that runs is not inspected.

I have the titles for all 3 vans

PLEASE DO NOT ASK TO BUY PARTS. if nobody takes the whole lot, I intend to break up the sale and sell things individually. I am not in a hurry.

Do not bother with "lowball" offers - I am starting the auction at the price I would accept for everything - no less.

No warranties - obviously.

No shipping.

No returns.

I would prefer cash or a cashier's check - I would even accept a balance transfer and paypal I guess. No transfer of goods will occur until checks clear or transferred funds are confirmed and available for withdrawal.

I will work with the buyer while they arrange a way to pick this up, to a point. I will not wait indefinitely. If I feel that the winning bidder is taking too long to pick up, I will terminate the contract and re-list the vans. 

I have lots and lots of pictures available upon request, and will try to set up a photobucket and add the links to this ad.

2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
