Any interest?? Any opinions will be appreciated! Thanx... -----Original Message----- From: McComas_Glenn <mccomas@shore.intercom.net> Date: Sunday, March 19, 2000 7:13 AM Subject: Syncro 87 FS (MD Eastern Shore]
|Saturday afternoon {18 Mar} I looked at an 87 Syncro on a farm near |Easton, Maryland. Its owner now lives in California. The Syncro is |being sold by the uncle of the owner, a very nice gentleman who told |me he has been trying to sell for ~3 months now. The owner, Kelly, is |probably in the 20-30 age range and used the Vanagon in connection |with his interest in bicycling. | |Asking price $4500; trans 4-sp manual plus low range; color silver |blue; upholstery reasonably clean blue tweed; overhead A/C shrouds |yellowing; body pretty straight... although driver's door has been |repainted (maybe replaced?) and paint does not quite match; there are |scuff marks on the left side aft of the driver's door [may or may not |buff-out?]. There is little visible rust -- only a few seams show ~1 |cm of bubbling. Chrome+rubber bumpers show some slight deformations, |but generally look good. Trim level is GL.... NOT a Westy. | |Odo reads ~110,000 miles. Uncle says the A/C works and the engine and |trans were rebuilt, but does not know when or by whom. The engine |compartment is not 'tidy' so I would guess the engine rebuild took |place at least 20,000 miles ago. The driving qualities seemed OK when |tested on a country road up to 35 mph; there was an unaccustomed noise |in the power steering at first. | |That's all the info I have at the moment. I'm up to my eyeballs in |other projects, so if anyone on the List is interested, p=mail me and |I will get the owner's Calif tel# for you. | |Glenn McComas |Queenstown, Maryland| |
