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 names Piech's nieces to supervisory board

Thu, Apr 30 2015

Volkswagen was left with two vacancies on its supervisory board after Ferdinand Piech and his wife Ursula were forced out a few days ago, and now it's filled them. Intriguingly, however, both of the new directors are Piech's nieces. The most obvious connection is Julia Kuhn-Piech, a real-estate professional who has sat on the board of VW's Man truck subsidiary since last year. Kuhn-Piech, 34, is the daughter of Ferdinand's younger brother Hans-Michel Piech (and by extension, niece of the ousted chairman). The other seat is being filled by Dr. Louise Kiesling, 57, a designer and daughter of Ferdinand's late older sister Louise Daxer-Piech. Keeping track of the lineage of the Porsche-Piech clan can be confusing, particularly with so many Ferdinands and Louises, but it breaks down essentially as follows: All are descended from Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the eponymous automaker and credited as the designer of the original Volkswagen Beetle. Porsche had a son and a daughter, the latter being Louise Porsche, who married Anton Piech and had four children: Ernst, Louise (mother of incoming board member Louise Kiesling), Ferdinand (the ousted chairman) and Hans Michel, father of the other incoming board member Julia Kuhn-Piech and a board member of both the Volkswagen Group and Porsche SE as well. The Piech and Porsche families control Porsche SE, which holds 50.7 percent of shares in the Volkswagen Group, which in turn owns Porsche the automaker. With all that in mind, appointing other members of the Piech-Porsche clan to the board follows logically enough - particularly since other members of the family helped oust Ferdinand from the chairmanship in the first place. The nominations, incidentally, also help VW increase its proportion of female board members. The two incoming Piechs will join Annika Falkengren of Swedish bank SEB and Babette Frohlich of the same IG Metall union as the board's interim chairman Berthold Huber. Wolfsburg, 30 April 2015 Dr. Louise Kiesling and Ms. Julia Kuhn-Piech appointed new members of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG Upon application by the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG, Dr. Louise Kiesling and Ms. Julia Kuhn-Piech were today appointed members of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG by Braunschweig Local Court with immediate effect. The appointments were made pursuant to Section 104 of the Aktiengesetz (German Stock Corporation Act) and were occasioned by the recent resignations of Prof. Ferdinand K.

VW and partner SAIC start building $2.5B Audi plant in China

Fri, Oct 19 2018

BEIJING — Volkswagen AG's China joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp has started building a $2.5 billion new energy vehicle (NEV) plant in Shanghai, which will make VW's luxury Audi brand cars, a possible first for the venture. The new plant is a key step for Audi to diversify production of its cars in the world's largest car market from its long-standing local partner, China FAW Group Corp. This shift has been delayed amid resistance from local dealers. SAIC Volkswagen said the new plant would have an annual capacity to make 300,000 cars and begin production from 2020. Audi sold 481,387 vehicles in China from January to September this year. The announcement comes the same week Tesla secured a Shanghai location for a Gigafactory battery plant to serve the Chinese market. Audi unveiled the plan to bolster ties with SAIC in late 2016. Earlier this year, the Germany luxury carmaker bought a 1 percent stake in the SAIC Volkswagen venture, paving the way for the joint venture to produce and sell Audi cars. Volkswagen currently gets a larger proportion of the proceeds from the 50-50 tie-up with SAIC than from its 40 percent stake in the venture with FAW. SAIC Volkswagen said in a statement on Friday the plant would cost 17 billion yuan ($2.5 billion) and would make VW and Skoda models as well as Audi cars. It will help VW tap China's fast-growing market for NEVs, a category comprising electric battery cars and plug-in electric hybrid vehicles.
