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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: meet the '66 ZelectricBug, DOE announces home-scale H2 refueling competition
Thu, Oct 30 2014The US Department of Energy has launched the $1 million H2 Refuel H-Prize competition to create small- to medium-scale hydrogen refueling systems. The systems could be home-scale systems that produce hydrogen using utilities at home for refueling, or medium-scale systems to supply locations such as retail centers, apartment complexes or small fleets. The DOE sees hydrogen fueling infrastructure as the biggest obstacle to fuel-cell vehicle adoption and putting the production and refueling in the hands of the consumer could be a way around that obstacle. Read more at Energy.gov and at Green Car Congress. Hyundai has announced a new six-speed automatic transmission with integrated electric motor for new hybrid models. The new configuration puts most of the hybrid powertrain components within the transmission, and the torque converter has been eliminated. The new engine clutch reduces drag with fewer clutch discs, and the mechanical oil pump has been replaced with an electric one. The result is fewer energy losses, improved efficiency and greater mileage. Read more at Hybrid Cars in Reuters or in the press release from Hyundai below. Zelectric Motors has completed its electric 1966 Volkswagen Beetle rebuild, and has put it up for sale. The '66 ZelectricBug, as it's called, is powered by a 50-kW electric motor and 20-kWh battery pack, and offers 120 pound-feet of torque. It has a range of 80 miles, and is capable of at least 100 mph. The stock transmission has been rebuilt. It also has some new goodies like high-performance sway bars, custom shocks, and LED lighting. The '66 ZelectricBug is priced at $45,000. Check it out in the video below and read more at Hybrid Cars. A startup called Alevo says it will build a billion-dollar factory in North Carolina to make longer-lasting lithium iron phosphate batteries. Alevo has purchased an old cigarette factory in Concord for $68.5 million, but it's unclear whether or not the company has secured the $1 billion investment to begin producing batteries. The company plans to create 2,500 to 6,000 jobs and produce several gigawatts worth of batteries per year, which is a tall order for a relatively unknown company. Read more at Gigaom, or in Alevo's press release below. Tesla owners in Shanghai will be exempt from the city's $12,000 registration fee. About 400 people have already received the free license plates in Shanghai, where the government wants to encourage alternative fuel vehicles.
VW pondering low-cost sub-brand for China?
Wed, 30 Jan 2013More detail is being sketched into the Volkswagen Group's plan to launch a low-cost brand for emerging markets. Late last year a German report quoted a VW rep saying that the brand has been interested in building a no-frills car, the kind that would challenge Dacia and Datsun, for a while. With both Proton and Suzuki effectively out of the partnership picture, a report in Reuters suggests VW could go straight to China, developing a car with its joint venture partners and building and selling it there.
Officially, company CEO Martin Winterkorn said the issue of a model for emerging markets would be decided this year but VW isn't any closer to confirming any kind of plan for a car in its portfolio underneath the Up!, remarking to Reuters about the China possibility, "That's an issue we're currently looking at."
Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift
Fri, Feb 20 2015The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.
