If it's what it claims to be, and the price is right - could be an all right deal. Miles are sure high - 247K, but that could be kilometers. Very odd, no arms rests on front seats or front doors. It's seems pretty 'euro' to me that way, like one does wonder if it's a US model syncro with Teca stuff swapped over. It's fishy a little all right. With two locking diffs though, at the right price it could be a good buy. And with a carbed engine ...why a guy ought to be able to get a really good price for it since It wouldn't be very smoggable some places. I suspect it's not a US model originally, even tho the add says they swapped over euro stuff to this van. Something is fishy though. doesn't quite all add up.

The auction listing has a few holes in it. The VIN is for an 87 2wd while the photos show what looks to me like a 1985 Syncro, European model. The dash looks like it might be from an 87 though. |
