Undercarriage free of rust. Has 4 almost new BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A tires, no dry rot on tires. Interior complete, has all seats, has original carpet. Seats and carpets show their age, but are not damaged structurally. Has 2 good Pioneer door speakers and working Jensen 2 x 40 amplifier, but no stereo (it is junk). Dash is clean, not cracked, and not dry rotted. Headliner perfect and intact. Has new sway bar link, hard to find now. Has 4 new OEM shocks that have not been installed, still NIB. Has an entire extra engine and fuel injection parts, engine needs head gasket but block is intact. Syncro is among the rarest of the rare now, they are being cannibalized for parts, finding a clean, complete builder with good transmission, viscous coupling, locker, diff, and driveshaft is tough to do, here is your chance. The engine in it runs, it just needs time to be worked on, something I just don't have. With a battery, the engine cranks fine, and will even sputter and run a bit sometimes, though not well, as it really does need some testing and work. This is a chance to earn a one of a kind vehicle that is considered a collector's item. It is a prime candidate for an engine conversion (anything from mild to wild), and can be made to run as is. This is a VERY capable off road vehicle, google "vanagon syncro offroad" for some idea of what it can do. This is a cult classic vehicle made of solid German steel. It is sturdy, well-engineered, and years ahead of its time. This is a great price for a vehicle you simply can't find now. There are never more than a few for sale anywhere in the country.

VW will expand goodwill package to larger diesels
Tue, Jan 12 2016Volkswagen Group of America will expand its goodwill package to affected owners of the VW Touareg and other models with the 3.0 TDI. The company may also replace the catalytic converter on some cars equipped with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder TDI engine to bring it into compliance with US emissions. VW Group of America boss Michael Horn told Reuters he plans announce the goodwill program's expansion to the 2009-2016 Touareg during the Detroit Auto Show, and company spokesperson Jeannine Ginivan also confirmed this to Autoblog. Audi intends to extend the offer to its affected owners, too. As with the previous goodwill package, participating customers would receive a $500 prepaid Visa card and $500 to use at dealers. The EPA issued a violation notice against the 3.0 TDI in November and later extended it to additional model years. Audi later admitted that the engine, which was also in the Touareg and Porsche Cayenne, had undisclosed emissions management software. However, the automaker limited the goodwill package only to the 2.0-liter powerplant while it investigated the allegations against the larger mill. VW has not announced a recall plan in the US for the 2.0 TDI so far, but VW Group CEO Matthias Muller recently outlined a possible solution that could fix about 430,000 of the 482,000 affected vehicles. "We have one [catalytic converter] in the works and we believe that will be a part of the technical solutions," he told Reuters. Muller plans to discuss the repair while in Washington D.C. on Wednesday to meet with the EPA. "I think we can now offer a package that will come very close to what the EPA is expecting from us," Muller said to Reuters. He also suggested the company might buy back some affected models but didn't confirm the recent rumor claiming that the buy-back may cover as many as 115,000 cars.
Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe is a green fun-machine we want to drive
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Think back to January's Detroit Auto Show. Those of you that are fans of the Volkswagen brand, impressed with green technology or simply fall into the "diesel geek" category, will almost certainly remember VW's CrossBlue concept with its diesel/electric hybrid powertrain, seating for seven, and somewhat awkward crossover styling. It was an impressive piece of future tech, to be sure, though it left something to be desired in the, well, desirability department.
Here in Shanghai, VW has brought along a CrossBlue Coupe concept that would seem to include most of the goodness of the original, but flavored with more sport and style this time around.
The CrossBlue Coupe makes use of the same electric drive components as the larger three-row concept: two electric motors (front and rear) powered by a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. However, where the original concept made use of a TDI four-cylinder, the Coupe substitutes a 295-horsepower, direct-injection, gasoline-burning V6.
