Vw Syncro Project - 3 Vans Included on 2040-cars

SYNCRO PROJECT - I thought I could handle it... I was wrong.

Too much rust.

I bought a rust free van, and I'm unloading these.


Here is what's included: 

1986 Syncro - non locker - most of interior removed, except for front seats and rear bench (no carpet etc.) - runs and drives GREAT - VC works great - AC unit is falling from roof - don't know if it works

1987 Syncro - SUNROOF works awesome - locking trans removed (included) - no engine - weekender interior - front diff and suspension all there (never driven - not sure of condition)

1991 (I think) red donor van - body only - totally stripped - for rust repair - see pics

2 sets of front doors with power windows & locks

Extra sliding door

Extra rear window

Boxes of parts and stuff

I'm sure there is more that I'm forgetting - I will update the ad if I remember anything...

The 86 is very solid and was going to be my foundation, requiring mostly body work to be road worthy.  will need other minor work to get on the road - I got most of the electrical bugs worked out, but not all.

The 87 (sunroof) is extremely rusty, but also very rare - I had a guy from a body shop out to look at it and he said it is certainly repairable, but it would be very expensive. My intent was to transplant the roof and interior into the running van. It has the "weekender" interior (which I think is really 'multivan') but no front seats - but that's ok because the front seats in the '86 are pretty decent.

I have spoken to several people who say that a Syncro-Sunroof is the rarest and should not be cut up. If it does not sell in this auction, and I am forced to sell everything individually, it is not likely that I will sell it. I will transplant the roof and interior to my other van as I originally intended.

There is enough here to build a nice Syncro with a sunroof and a rear locking diff.

THE MERCEDES WHEELS WITH NEW TIRES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE - they will be replaced with stock 14" vanagon alloys - I have 5 - 4 of which have good tires.

YOU WILL NEED TO TOW ALL 3 VANS AWAY - the one that runs is not inspected.

I have the titles for all 3 vans

PLEASE DO NOT ASK TO BUY PARTS. if nobody takes the whole lot, I intend to break up the sale and sell things individually. I am not in a hurry.

Do not bother with "lowball" offers - I am starting the auction at the price I would accept for everything - no less.

No warranties - obviously.

No shipping.

No returns.

I would prefer cash or a cashier's check - I would even accept a balance transfer and paypal I guess. No transfer of goods will occur until checks clear or transferred funds are confirmed and available for withdrawal.

I will work with the buyer while they arrange a way to pick this up, to a point. I will not wait indefinitely. If I feel that the winning bidder is taking too long to pick up, I will terminate the contract and re-list the vans. 

I have lots and lots of pictures available upon request, and will try to set up a photobucket and add the links to this ad.

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.

2015 VW Golf R caught getting a flogging on 'Ring

Wed, 22 May 2013

The upcoming version of the Volkswagen Golf R is nearly ready for prime time, if this video of the car flying around the Nürburgring is any indication. The all-wheel-drive R seems to make quick, neat work of the corners we see here, and sounds pretty devilish in the process.
Expectations are that the new Golf R will run a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (what else?), tuned to produce even more than the current car's 256 horsepower. (Some sources have indicated outputs as high as 286 horsepower, with 280 pound-feet of torque. It's still not clear if Volkswagen will bring the six-speed dual-clutch transmission to the US-spec Golf R in this next go-round or if we'll stick to having only... eh... the stick.
In either case - watching the video below will only whet your appetite for the new, highest performing member of the Golf family.

Volkswagen Golf Variant will make a lovely Jetta SportWagen

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

In addition to several other versions of the Golf, Volkswagen is debuting the new Golf Variant (read: wagon) here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And if this bigger version of the Golf looks like it might fit right at home in the States, it's because we could possibly see some version of this car as the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here on our shores.
Volkswagen is debuting the Golf Variant with two efficient diesel engines, rated at 110 and 150 horsepower, the smaller of which is good for an impressive 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle (when mated to a six-speed manual transmission). The Golf Variant also gets a version of Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, making it incredibly all-weather capable.
It's a handsome estate, and it wears the new Golf's design language well. We can't say for sure if this car will actually make its way Stateside, but given the fact that the current Jetta SportWagen still rides on the old Golf platform, the odds look to be in our favor.
