1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro Van 2.1l Locker 4wd Low Gear No Reserve on 2040-cars
Henrico, Virginia, United States
Up for auction is my 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro 4WD. The van is all
stock, with low miles. I am the second owner. Runs good, shifts good,
goes down the road really well for a 26 year old vehicle. The
transmission was recently rebuilt to fix an issue with 4th gear, which
these earlier vans seem to be prone to. Starts right up, doesn't use any
oil, or leak any fluids. Head gaskets are dry and leak free.
Things I know are in need of attention, if you chose to: Paint is shot (doesn't bother me) Temp gauge in not operating Air conditioner does not work Power mirrors do not work on either side Locker vacuum system is in need of a rebuild Will need front brake pads soon, according to the inspection station One passenger armrest will not stay up Replace fuel lines from fuel pump to tank Recent work completed: Transmission rebuild with taller (.82) 4th gear for better highway manors New slave cylinder New right front axle Inspected in September New fuel lines to the injectors New fuel injector seals New Air filter New oxygen sensor New alternator and power steering belts New shift linkage parts Cap, rotor, wires I have the middle seat and it will come with the van. We took it out to have more room when camping. This van is sold as-is. Please arrange to come look at it if you like, or I will answer any questions you may have. I still drive it, so the mileage may increase. No reserve. Please refrain from bidding if you do not plan on following through with the auction. |

VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
Prop-driven VW Beetle hopes to land in Bonneville [w/video]
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Sometimes you meet folks who, when they tell you "Hey, I have an idea," your reflex response is to stop what you're doing and tell yourself, "Get ready...." We imagine Mike Niemans is one of those folks, and the idea in question is putting a tank engine on a Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. Not just any old tank engine - as if there were such a thing when we're talking about putting them in cars - but a 668-cubic-inch, 220-horsepower radial engine built by Continental in 1941 and procured from an M2 tank.
In the image above Nieman is using the tank clutch hub to get the motor set up, but in one of the images below you can see what really belongs back there is: a two-inch, reverse-pitch prop taken from a wind generator. He says there's enough mojo with the propeller action to get the car rolling down the runway like a jet when he gives it gas - and speaking of gas, the engine's been refitted to run on propane.
After a few safety tweaks Nieman's going to take the matte-black Beetle to Bonneville, "put the prop on, let her go and see what happens!" We can't wait to see the video of that. There are two shakedown videos below to get you ready.
Last VW bus ever made arrives at final destination
Fri, 31 Jan 2014A Brazilian politician tried to save it, unsuccessfully, so the final Last Edition Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi was produced on December 20, 2013 and now resides in a vintage museum at Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles HQ in Hanover, Germany.
The Volkswagen Microbus was built for 56 years, starting in September 1957. Brazil was the last country still assembling it, but new safety regulations in the country requiring airbags and ABS on all cars spelled the end. When that politician introduced a bill that would pardon only the 'Bus from a death sentence, it couldn't garner the required number of votes for passage. The South American country takes the Kombi production title, though, with 1.5 million of the 3.5 million total made in the home of Copacabana beach and the girl from Ipanema.
The VW Bus is dead. Now perhaps we can turn our attentions to the still-not-totally-settled matter of the Bulli...
