1987 Vw Vanagon Syncro 4wd With Optional Rear Locking Differential on 2040-cars
New Milford, Connecticut, United States
|
Here is an original 1987 Vanagon Syncro. I just bought this as a project, but my wife is forcing me to sell it. The body is very rough, dented & has some rust. I was going to swap over all the suspension & 4wd to a clean 2wd. The four wheel drive is all there. This syncro also has the sought after optional rear locking diff. The special fuel tank filler well is in perfect condition. I covered it with aluminum tape to preserve it. The suspension has surface rust, but no rust thru. I sprayed it down with WD-40 & all the bolts loosened up ok. The motor turns over, but will need some work to get it started. It also comes with another 2.1 Wasserboxer core engine (which is in better condition than the current one). The title is clear, & I just registered it as a classic vehicle in CT, but I haven't received the title yet - it may arrive by next week (I will mail it to you when it arrives). I got a few things for it, like an ECU, tune-up stuff. So, my loss is your gain. All the tires are shot & no brakes, but it should roll ok onto a trailer.

VW Up Buggy may be headed to showrooms
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Volkswagen showed six conceptual takes on its Up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, one of those being the Up Buggy. Although few will probably remember it, VW has not forgotten it, applying for a patent for the Meyers Manx revival roadster way back in March 2012 and being approved in June of this year, according to a report in Autocar. That will give the automaker a 14-year lock on the design while it decides whether to move forward with a reboot of its past.
A patent doesn't mean the Up Buggy will ever move beyond the sheet-of-paper stage, but Autocar says VW is studying the market to see if a production version is feasible. We can't see North America ever getting it, but even so, we wouldn't complain if they made it - especially if they put an exposed engine in back that was set off by 18-inch-long twin tailpipes jutting straight up into the air. However, for a company that aims to be the world's number-one automaker by 2018, a niche vehicle for its mass-market brand would be a surprising use of resources.
Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
