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.

US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
