Eric, I think they are more common than you might think. I have a 90
Syncro in my driveway that came with no vent windows, no arm rests, no tach.
It DOES have A/C, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, rear
wiper/washer, PS, factory cruise control, rear shoulder belts, rear
folding bed, as well as 2 removable rear facing jump seats but no side
table. Black rubber floor mats throughout and cheap coarse grayish
fabric on all seats.

Sadly, it suffered a major engine fire and that is how I ended up with
it. The  interior burned too, all the way to the front seats. I am
trying to bring it back to life with the major parts coming from a rust
bucket 86 Syncro I bought a month ago. Probably not worth the trouble
but the 90 is a beautiful rust free original owner Syncro body and looks
perfect outside except for the back 3 feet. The entire drive train was
taken before I got it as a friend used it to restore a very rusty Doka
Syncro he bought from Canada.

A similarly equipped 2wd 90 showed up at a local PickaPart recently. I
did not get as much from that as I should have as other projects were
taking up my time. List friends picked at it some.
