That you have to clutch at such weak straws pretty well demonstrates the point. Here is what Jim said on this list a while back http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0507C&L=vanagon&P=R7421 Mark Ben wrote: > Well, that's interesting because I bought one from a couple in San Francisco.

I've bought a couple of Syncros sold by the VW dealership across the SF Bay in a city called Albany. They apparently sold several 'L' (what some of us call the non-GL) model Syncro's to conversion companies such as Country Homes and Adventurewagen. One particular one fresh in my mind was a low mileage 1990 poptop by CH. Back in those days, I wasn't paying much attention to build stickers. The only reason it came up is the former owner insisted on explaining the story of 13 Syncros from Canada ordered by the Albany VW dealership. > > > BenT > sent from my electronic leash > >> On Mar 19, 2015, at 3:52 AM, mark drillock <mdrillock@COX.NET> wrote: >> >> According to Jim Davis 1988 Vanagon Syncros not offered in the US. >> >> http://vanagon.com/info/years/syncros.htm >> >> Mark >> >> Jon VO wrote: >>> No "official' 1988 Vanagon Syncro models, I believe...what was sold were >>> leftover '87's. at least around Denver, CO... > |
