1986 Vw Syncro Westfalia Wolfsburg Edition Vanagon 4wd on 2040-cars
Cumberland, Rhode Island, United States
Here it is,
the one you’ve been waiting for, the uber rare VW Westfalia Syncro Vanagon
Wolfsburg Edition with a No Reserve Auction. This 4WD VW is a nice example of a low
mileage all original never messed with camper.
This 1986 Syncro has just 109 thousand original miles. In fact when I bought it still had an original VW battery as well as original spark plugs and wires. The interior is an excellent condition, as well as the camping equipment and the canvas tent. I just replaced the skylight. The original paint shined up pretty nice too. Just a little rust on the lower front nose and some rust on the lower rockers. Very minimal rust for a 28 year old vehicle. Follow the link to see over 50 photos. Click Here The Syncro
does run and drive, but because of its long slumber there are a few issues that
should be corrected before she’s ready for 4 wheelin’ camping adventures again.
The brakes
are a little sticky, fuel and temp. gauges aren’t working. Could use sway bar
links and tires. Third gear grinds a little if you’re not careful. I would also replace the fuel lines to be on
the safe side. Like I said all the little things a vehicle would need to be a
daily driver again. I already replaced a few exhaust components, so they’re
good to go.
All in all with a little work you’ll have a rare piece of VW history that will only increase in value as time goes by. Happy bidding!
The Syncro
is registered in the State of RI. RI doesn’t issue titles to vehicles over 10

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring
Tue, 16 Apr 2013The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.
