Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
Hello everyone,
Sorry for the cross posts on the lists.
I am putting the Syncromog up for sale. I have bills to pay and no work
coming in.
A recap of how it is equipped. 22" ride hieght, 9" of front and 11" of rear
suspension travel. Front Bilstein coil over shocks. Doetsch Tech rear shocks.
Front upper control arms are custom chromoly. Rear axles have 930 CV joints
with chromoly cages. Front axles have 930 CV joints with chromoly cages for
the inner and the outer CV's are the 98MM 16" syncro style. Front and rear
lockers with 6.17 ring and pinions. Tom Lengyl driveline disconnect along with
solid shaft replacing the VC. Front and rear skid/bash plates with 15" of
ground clearance down the middle. 15" 9x30 Yokohama Mud Terrian tires on South
african alloy wheels. Overland front big brake conversion. New wheel cylinders,
shoes and drums were installed on the rear. Custom front and rear bumpers.
Factory sun roof option but has no AC. Has Power steering and windows/ door
locks. Power door locks do not work. Right front window regulator just broke.
Has AM/FM/CD player stereo with two amps with a total power of 1100 watts. Two
10" sub woofers under middle seat with 6x9 Rockford Fosgate speakers in
place of the original rear speakers. 6" speakers installed in front doors.
Engine is original WBX with over 200K on it. Has new custom sidewinder
custom exhuast on it for high ground clearance. Will not pass CA smog test unless
original exhaust is installed with Cat. I have a new Cat that goes with it
but not the stock syncro exhaust. I do have a Vanagon WBX exhaust. Engine still
runs strong and does seep coolant when it falls below freezing. Driveline
needs to be replaced. Engine wire harness should be replaced because of pesky
mice. I have another harness for it.
Body has numerous severe dents and body seam rust. Interior has weekender
rear fold out bed and seats 7. Interior is in nice shape and has been assembled
from other Vanagons so all colors match. If you need current pics this Syncro
is not for you. It is not cherry and is meant for serious play. It has never
left me stranded and worst failure was worn out throttle pedal linkage fell
apart in Moab. That was replaced right after. This Syncro is not fresh as the
trans and front diffs were built in the spring of 2001. It has been
maintained and serviced over the years. Has many parts that are no longer available.
I have front Factory CV boot protectors that were never installed. I have the
factory belt/pebble guards that were never installed.
Pictures and Video can be found in numerous places on the internet.
Sold AS IS with NO warranty.
Asking $10,000 or best offer.
Serious inquiries only will not answer nit picking e-mails
Thanks for your time.
