1990 AWD VW SYNCRO VANAGON  WESTFALIA POPUP  CAMPER with 3.3 liter 240hp SVX SUBARU CONVERSION FULL RESTORATION

This is it, a Westfalia that will climb hills effortlessly and 4 wheel off road. Conversion and restoration accomplished the Baker Brothers at WWW.Subagon.com Subaru SVX Motor Conversion (imported from Japan). This link http://subagon.com/best/bobs-1990-syncro-westy-svx/ features my 1990 AWD Syncro on their website.

I was riding my motorcycle, and a driver ran a stop sign and T-Boned me, I have had, 3 foot operations, 2 knee operations, and 4 back fusions, so I find myself unable to camp out as I used to. Because of this I am being forced to sell my “Syncro”.  

 

Mr. Joe Baker at www.subagon.com can tell you about this and verify the value of this Westy is more than the price I am asking.  You can have them build one, and wait, and getting Syncro AWD 4WD is going to take a while or be very costly if you are in a hurry. They were extremely limited in production, and very few imported into USA. Canada and Mexico have some. Importing and paperwork is a hassle. Here are the facts about this Syncro. Conversion costs around $25k if you can broker a good deal. No wimpy gutless, sluggish powerless van. This will climb mountains with ease. Call or text Mr. Joe Baker at 9530 227-2610) or email him at joeb@joebaker.net . He was the contact at Subagon.com that brokered this contract for me.  His brother is not aware I am selling this so Joe will be your best contact for info. He is also on the road a lot lately so be patient on text/email replies.

This will get 10-18 MPG depending on your driving habits, speed etc. Get incredibly great mileage if you hold it to 65 MPH. I have the original SUBAGON portfolio, original paperwork, reciepts for all post work and service. 4 new axles, CV joints. You can add a AWD decoupling kit (temporarily disengages AWD to 2 WD),  that will really increase your mileage, but I have been in the hospital too much and recuperating unable to get out and do anything. The conversion can be done for about $3k with warranty and can increase gas mileage dramatically. VW dealers work on this Van and love it. Older parts are available via http://www.van-cafe.com/ and they can get any part the VW dealer may not have. Friendly staff and quick shipping.  This is currently fully titled (full and clear) in Colorado, currently registered, insured and working, stored in my garage for winter. It has been winterized, but will pump winterized fluids with ease for testing.

 

This is powered by a 3.3 liter SUBRAU SVX engine (same kind as used in the sports car and ultralight aircraft). Full conversion to Subaru SVX 3.3 liter pancake engine By Subagon.com. Power plus Speed, Subaru Computer controlled. These conversions can be done for $30 to $50k if you find the right place and work a deal, around $30K if you do it yourself and have a working knowledge of conversions and the computers that run the engine.  I have put about 9,0000 miles on this since the conversion, fixed some minor things like a new power steering pump, the A/C thermo-resistor replaced. There are some minor chips in the windshield. I will have this replaced upon non-refundable deposit $5k for contracted sale, or give you an allowance to replace we agree upon at final payment. The fuel gauge sometimes does not work (suspect bad sender), and I will also give you an allowance to fix this we agree upon. The plastic plate on the exterior Electrical cover disappeared (I suspect the spring broke and pin slipped out.) I will replace or give you the cost of the part and shipping allowance for this as well from Van Cafe. Nothing hidden or covered up, you are getting all the info. I have attempted to include everything here but, may have forgotten some items.

ABOUT THE SVX CONVERSION: The conversion to the SVX engine and computer, mechanics, wiring, was contracted with SUBAGON.com in Redding California. Van was torn down, painted and restored with original parts, excluding the SVX upgrade and some minor items. The Subaru SVX computer was wired in and all wiring done to fully utilize all original VW functions. 

IMPORTANT ITEM IS when licensing and registering, THIS IS Still considered a regular car/van so insurance is cheap, and your Homeowners association can’t stop you from parking at your place as it will register as a regular car/van. Not considered a conversion Van (Class B). This is a really nice plus if you have an HOA, and I do and was not permitted to park an RV at my place. My costs for insurance, license, registration and plates cheap (will show you receipts).The canvas in the pop top is all new and works fine with no leaks. PopTop Has extra opening for a window type view with mosquito netting in the canvass so sleepers in top can see out. All poptop arms, mechanism new. Wired for 110v, external water, external LPG. Inverter powered off gas mat deep cycle battery, so that all your 12v appliances and lights work on the battery and/or the inverter supplying power in both 12v/110v. Switch behind seat to enable switching from external 110v to internal. Solar panel charges this entire system when parked. Add up the costs for all this and you will see my price is for a quick sale, and beats others at Go Westy and other places. Go to SUBAGON, do your build list price then add the VW…. You will find that Mine has additional options and will cost a lot more than the $72K price tag.

SALE PRICE IS $72k Terms: signed contract or EBAY sale, $5k down, as a non-refundable deposit, $67K upon picking up vehicle, and these funds in cash or a cashier’s check, postal money order(s) that will require you wait until it clears through my bank (sorry). I am smart about scammers and so that is how it goes. No paypal personal checks, credit cards, bitcoins as the scammers out there are making it this way. I will accept funds transferred to one of my accounts, and that my bank verifies. Must wait until my bank verifies, and that funds transferred are legitimate and not part of a fraud/theft. Sorry, but this is for everyone’s protection.

Contact me via this email “ 1990syncro@q.com

Your email that includes your full name (first & last), verifiable US postal address, verifiable phone number will be responded to. EBAY veriifiction a must: no scammers!

I will not give out my phone # until I verify your info is not that of a scammer. (Again, I need to weed out scammers, sorry for the process). I will not give out VIN or other data till you are verified as a genuine potential buyer. I could use ebay or other ways-but this will add thousands to the cost.

Volkswagen tipped to launch turbocharged Up! with 100 hp

Tue, Jan 6 2015

Overseas customers enticed by the compact dimensions of the Volkswagen Up! but turned off by its diminutive 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine may be encouraged by reports that the German automaker is planning a more potent turbo version. Previewed by the GT Up! concept showcased at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show (pictured above), the more performance-oriented model is expected to pack the turbo three from the larger Polo, where it produces 100 horsepower channeled through a five-speed manual transmission. That may not seem like much, but it would put the existing 59- and 74-horsepower versions of the German city car to shame. That might not give it enough punch to keep pace with the upcoming Smart Fortwo Brabus (and its Renaultsport Twingo counterpart), tipped to pack as much as 130 hp, but it could stand to out-perform the existing 89-hp turbo models of both. Given that the reports are emanating from Brazil, however, it is possible that the Up! Turbo (or whatever it's ultimately called) would be limited to the South American market, if it's built at all. One thing's for sure, though: it's not likely to make it to North American showrooms anytime soon.

Volkswagen Golf GTE Sport Concept is good, clean, plug-in fun [w/video]

Tue, Sep 15 2015

If racing and hypercars have shown us anything, it's that high performance and hybridization are not mutually exclusive. With the Golf GTE Sport Concept, Volkswagen is showing it understands that fact. This wild hatchback originally premiered at the annual Worthersee festival back in May, but it's making its auto show debut in Frankfurt. The Golf GTE Sport uses both gas and electric sources to develop 396 total system horsepower. That gas engine, a 1.6-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, was swiped from the engine bay of Volkswagen's three-time World Rally Championship-winning Polo R WRC, and generates 295 hp on its own. A pair of electric motors – one per axle – each produce 113 hp, and are fed by a lithium-ion battery pack. Total electric range is an impressive 31 miles. Of course, you don't care about that. You care about what the Golf GTE Sport can do when you switch out of EV or hybrid mode and switch into GTE. In this setting, both the gas engine and electric motors kick in to deliver max performance. Sixty-two miles per hour arrives in just 4.3 seconds and the top speed is an impressive 174 mph. The styling is like a mix of older Golf concepts: VW's two Vision Gran Turismo cars, the Roadster and Supersport, with some of the current GTI thrown in. Check out our live images from Frankfurt and let us know what you think. World premiere of the Golf GTE Sport: Plug-in hybrid sports car catapults the GT idea to the future - Lightweight and high-strength body of the Golf GTE Sport is made of carbon - Concept car with a top speed of 280 km/h is a zero emission vehicle and a race car in one Five key facts about the Golf GTE Sport: 1. Golf GTE Sport is powered by a 295 kW / 400 PS plug-in hybrid system 2. Progressive Golf GTE Sport bridges the gap between road cars and racing sport cars 3. Avant-garde exterior design of the Golf GTE Sport perfects the idea of C-pillars with two-level construction 4. Golf GTE Sport debuts with digital instruments arranged on three levels and tailored to motor racing 5. Golf GTE Sport accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of up to 280 km/h on the racetrack Wolfsburg / Reifnitz, May 2015. Ringing in a new era: with the Golf GTE Sport presented as a world premiere at the legendary GTI event at Lake Worthersee on 14 May 2015, Volkswagen is catapulting the GT tradition into the future.
