1987 Volkswagen Syncro Westfalia Camper, Vw 4x4, Westy on 2040-cars
South Point, Ohio, United States
|
For your consideration is my 1986 syncro westy. 1986 was the first year for the syncro camper and this is a very nice example. Over all it is very complete and tastefully upgraded. Upgrades include a Fiamma Awning, yakima rack, Old Man Emu Shocks front and rear, as well as lift springs. South African wheels (5) has a a matching spare! Also the propane tank is a newer replacement and it also has the gray water tank underneath as well.
Over the years the vehicle was well maintained and cared for. I have a folder of receipts an inch thick detailing everything that has been done to the van over the year. The tent has been replaced as well but shows some fading on one side it also has a patch in the rear most corner behind the hinge. The interior is nice and all camper pieces are present including both table, as well as the rare port o potty cabinet! It will need a new sink faucet Originally this van didn't come with AC but has dealer installed in dash and rear Behr ac units (needs charged)! Heat blows HOT! HOT! HOT! this also means you get a storage cabinet over the rear bed that most campers do not have! Motor is the factory 2.1, and has recently had the head gaskets replaced.. Also at this time the clutch slave cylinder was replaced and the rear brakes were completely rebuilt, the water pump was just recently replaced. Engine runs good, it was just discovered it has a bad 02 sensor and a new one is being ordered so that can be changed out. Its currently running with the 02 sensor unplugged and is going up and down the road nicely! Overall the body is in good condition it does have a bit of the typical westy rust on the lower rocker on the drivers side, as well as a few spots by the window seals. Accident free though with no signs of repair or damage has a older paint job that still shines up and is nicely presentable. Underside is DRY DRY DRY very clean and has not seen much winter driving over the years. Trans is the factory 5 speed with a working rear locker! Shifts smoothly through all gears, again no leaks or anything of that nature. Please let me know if you have any questions I have the vehicle for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. |

Wagons make a bit of a comeback, with new models, sales on the rise
Thu, Jan 10 2019Consider this an official invitation to hop on the wagon bandwagon. There's still tons of room because, well, it's a wagon (and market share is still extremely small). But according to new data, the segment is growing. According to a report from Bloomberg, using data from Edmunds.com, roughly 211,600 Americans purchased wagons in 2018. That is technically down from the 237,600 sold in 2017, but wagon sales in the U.S. are up 29 percent from where they were five years ago. It's also the third year in a row that wagon sales broke the 200,000 mark. The sales trends have been somewhat representative of the availability of wagons. New models have debuted during the past 5 years and therefore offer more opportunity at more brands to buy wagons. In addition to more modest cars such as the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen, several luxury and performance brands are offering wagons today, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Volvo and Buick. (Bloomberg's headlines make the point that "crossovers are for the Kardashians," and wagons are just, well, classier.) This uptick in brand-name availability, as well as extremely well-executed design on most of the wagons currently available, has helped increase the segment's desirability. That, and its ability to better accomplish the same tasks at hand while standing out from the crossover and SUV crowd. Still, the posted numbers represent a small fraction of the total vehicles sold. According to the data, wagons only held a 1.4 percent market share in 2017, the segment's best recent year. Wagons hold a steadfast place in America's past, and they're writing an interesting new story. With the downturn in traditional cars, they may continue to create an unexpected narrative.

Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
Skoda racing Up! to Worthersee with Citigo Rally concept
Thu, 17 May 2012If you thought the Volkswagen Group was about to wind down the endless stream of concept cars based on the new Up! city car, think again. Because not only is the Volkswagen brand itself keeping the train a-moving, so are its sister brands.
Skoda has its own version of the Up called the Citigo. But what racing fans know the Czech subsidiary for best is its rally program that has become a dominant force in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge and the basis for VW's own foray into the World Rally Championship. Now Skoda is bringing the two together with an exciting concept car previewed by the rendering above and confirmed in the press release below.
Following in the footsteps of the tantalizing Fabia roadster unveiled last year, the Citigo Rally concept is to be the centerpiece of the Skoda display at the Volkswagen Group's annual hot-hatch gathering at Lake Wörthersee in Austria. Details are scarce, but the show car will feature rally-inspired bodywork complete with 18-inch white alloys packed into aggressively flared wheel arches, a substantial rear wing and vents aplenty.
