I’ve got too many cars and am trying to focus my free time, so I’m selling my
1986 Syncro GL.
This has been my daily driver for the past 4 years. It is dependable and
mechanically in good shape. Body has a couple bumps and rust spots/seams but
not ugly. The 4WD ability of this Syncro is really impressive, has rear diff
lock, the VC works. I’ve never had any problem getting around in the snow
storms of the past few winters even with just M&S tires. I’m asking $4500.00.
Stats:
• 1986 VW Vanagon Syncro GL (7 passenger)
• Gold metallic (Savannah Beige) exterior/Tan interior-in good condition.
• 161K miles, I've driven it for about 50K of these.
• Motor runs well and very strong (coolant: Prestone 5/150 phosphate free;
Oil 20w/50 dino changed every 3500 miles using only Mann/mahle/Knecht oil
filters.)
• Syncro Heavy Duty air filter.
• Bosch Tri platinum plugs.
• Rebuilt Tranny at 137k This was an excellent rebuild by Dennis Haynes of
Long Island, NY. He replaced the 3/4 hub, bearings, part of the case and
other wear items. He also painted the case (silver) before reinstalling to
help prevent road salt from eating into the alloy when it gets trapped in the
nooks and crannies of the case. It is filled with Redline MT-90 synthetic
gear oil. Has diff lock, in working order. Clutch/TO bearing/PP replaced at
this time.
• Power Steering.
• Recent front rotors, pads & shoes and fluid.
• New Brake master cylinder @125k.
• 14 in. steel wheels with 185/70/14 Goodyear Wrangler HT load range C tires
with ~10k miles, stock hubcaps.
• New (VW oem) front axles-complete (@130k), rebuilt rear axles-complete
(@137k).
• A/C - oil pissed out last summer; needs work. A/C duct/tunnel taken down
(well, it fell down and I liked the increased head room, so I left it off.)
• Cruise Control-not working.
• Sony AM/FM Cassette w/4 Sony speakers.
•Bosch Fog lights mounted to top of bumper, illuminated switch on dash.
I also have parts from a parts syncro (‘87, same color), like a fold down
rear seat and a couple 2.1L motors so if you want a package deal, lets talk.
It’s funny how offering my Syncro up feels a little like offering my beloved
dog up for adoption.
Get in touch if you have a warm, loving home for good little bus that likes
to get muddy sometimes.
