Westfalia Syncro - World's Greatest Adventure Vehicle on 2040-cars
Provo, Utah, United States
|
4WD Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Syncro Weekender Pop Top Camper.
This incredible Swiss-Army Knife of vehicles comes with lots of extras and upgrades such as (5) Mercedes 16" alloy wheels, Hankook Dynapro all-terrain tires in great shape, South African grill - upper and lower - with new headlight relay for brighter lighting, all new brake system with big Audi disc brake upgrade with vented rotors, dual calipers, new brake lines and master cylinder. It has front seat heaters with 2 settings, interior high-efficiency LED lighting in the front cabin floor and rear cabin ceiling lighting, new clutch, flywheel and pressure plate, new fuel lines and more. And the all important drive shaft leading to the front wheels was just completely rebuilt. It also has a rear locking differential. The interior is complete, very clean and roomy (freshly cleaned and sanitized upholstery), the outside looks great with shiny paint and a durable carbon fiber treatment to the lower section and bumpers. There is also the rear spare tire rack upgrade to the back of the vehicle as well as a ladder to get to the roof and the racks. There are feet for roof racks already installed. It looks awesome, rugged and screams "take me on an adventure!" It has upgraded hydraulic arms that lift the pop top roof automatically so you don't have to lift the heavy roof to open it. There is an 8 speaker CD stereo with USB input and charging. The windows are tinted all the way around keeping it cool and providing greater privacy (legal tint up front). There is heavy duty, easy-clean flooring installed throughout. The interior is free from rips, tears, stains and shows very little wear. It also comes with separate rear heat for the back compartment. This Westfalia Weekender version with the pop top can sleep up to 5 and has 6 seats with seat belts with one removable seat. Normal campers only seat 4 and sleep 4 max. There are full curtains - even for the front window. There is a pull up table, the front seats rotate around and you can stand up inside when the top is up and the upper bed folded back. And much much more. There is a large 40 quart refrigerator that fits nicely behind passenger seat, but can be moved anywhere. It plugs into 110V in your house and in the auxiliary plugs in the vehicle. It can be packed and pre-cooled in the house and brought out to the vehicle. There is a single burner clean-burning Butane stove that can be used inside like the built-in stove or taken outside when you prefer not to cook inside the vehicle. There is a large 7 gallon water tank with tap that can moved anywhere. These items give the functionality of a full camper with a lot more flexibility, space and are removable for day-to-day driving. PLEASE NOTE: the stove, water tank and refrigerator ONLY come with the "Buy it Now" price. The 2.1 liter water-boxer motor has recently had new head gaskets, water pump and various seals replaced. It has a high-end dual carburetor system that replaces the original fuel injection system. This gives a great amount of additional power and very good response. It pulls and climbs hills much better than the stock system and it is very efficient on fuel. It just took a 1700 mile journey and got great mileage averaging about 70 miles per hour and rarely had to shift down over hills. This vehicle does NOT have power windows, power locks or cruise control. It also does NOT have air conditioning. This vehicle is simplified for easy maintenance and off-highway adventure. It started as a full camper, but had a complete Weekender interior installed in it's place. Things that you might want to fix as you enjoy the vehicle: Although it has a clean title and Carfax it has been repainted and is not a great paint job. The paint was originally silver. The back door has been replaced. Although the dual carb system works great the original fuel injection is gone. The original wiring harness is still there and appears intact if the system were to be brought back to stock or replaced with a Subaru motor. The temp gauge works, but appears to read high and drive high. One CV joint is going bad. The speed-odometer and odometer recently do not work as it is in line with the Carfax mileage. There is some typical seam corrosion. A small area of corrosion on the drivers front door step have been completely fixed and the balance looks solid. The interior heat adjustment cable needs to be fixed as it is stuck in one spot. The drivers doors is a little tight to close. There is some metal distortion where the rear spare tire is attached from being over extended when opened. The emergency brake needs adjustment. The end of the exterior slider handle is broken off although fully functional. No water or oil leaks, but does have a small amount of seepage on the engine.The items above do make this vehicle a little rough around the edges and the reason it is not selling for $45,000 - $75,000. Feel free to come or send someone to inspect it. It is sold as is. Parts are cheap and readily available for these. See syncro.org, gowesty.com, thesamba.com, vanagain.com and another couple dozen others ready with forums, technical help and inexpensive parts. This wonderful vehicle drives tight, solid and goes straight down the road. It is solid over bumps, stops on a dime, quiet in the wind and gives you confidence when driving on or off road. It is always the talk of the campground - and the supermarket parking lot - and is awaiting its next adventure. The future value and the fun is very bright for this vehicle Feel free to call or text: 801-787-7474 Generic Vanagon Syncro Information: Only 1500 of these ever made it to the United States. The Westfalia Vanagon Syncro was picked by Popular Mechanics as one of the World's 10 Most Collectible Cars. The best years are the 1986-1991 for Vanagon and the only years for the Westfalia Syncros. This 1991 is the last of them. These vehicles were partially made in Germany at the Volkswagen factory and then shipped to Austria to be finished side-by-side with the 4WD Mercedes G-Wagons. These have a completely different undercarriage, drive-train, 5 speed transmission, locking rear differential, taller suspension and more giving it stellar adventure qualities. The four wheel drive, power steering, power brakes, the ground clearance, tiny turning radius, granny gear make for the ultimate on and a legendary off-road adventure vehicle in all climates and all conditions. It's a great daily driver as well. The beauty in this vehicle is once you've arrived to any destination - you are home. Pop the top, draw the curtains, flip up the table and you have your comfortable surroundings anywhere. Sit down for a meal, read a book, kick your feet up, take in the view, stand up and change for a hike or bike, watch a movie or just go to bed in real comfort! Home sweet home. |

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Volkswagen CrossBlue previews a three-row future, diesel-hybrid power [w/video]
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Volkswagen looks to be getting ready to jump into the large three-row crossover game. The automaker has officially pulled back the curtain on the CrossBlue Concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Designers and engineers penned the machine specifically for the Canadian and US markets, and with a plug-in diesel electric hybrid drivetrain, the hulking five-door, at least in concept form, should offer substantially better efficiency than anything else on the market. The drivetrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 305 horsepower and a ludicrous 516 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting detail, while one electric motor spins the front wheels. The second motor spins the back axle independently, make the CrossBlue a through-the-road hybrid.
As a result, the crossover can pop to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Perhaps more impressively, the CrossBlue can whir around on all-electric propulsion for up to 14 miles at up to 75 mph. Once the diesel four kicks in, the drivetrain can yield up to 39 mpg, though Volkswagen says the hardware can hit 89 MPGe on a full charge thanks to a 9.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Check out the full press release below for more information.
