This descriptionvery extensive: 1990 AWD VW SYNCRO VANAGON
WESTFALIA POPUP CAMPER with 3.3 liter
240hp SVX SUBARU CONVERSION FULL RESTORATION This is it, a Westfalia that will climb hills effortlessly and 4 wheel off road. Conversion and restoration accomplished the Baker Brothers at WWW.Subagon.com Subaru SVX Motor Conversion (imported from Japan). This link http://subagon.com/best/bobs-1990-syncro-westy-svx/ features my 1990 AWD Syncro on their website. I was riding my motorcycle, and a driver ran a stop sign and T-Boned me, I have had, 3 foot operations, 2 knee operations, and 4 back fusions, so I find myself unable to camp out as I used to. Because of this I am being forced to sell my “Syncro”.
Mr. Joe Baker at www.subagon.com can tell you about this and verify the value of this Westy is more than the price I am asking. You can have them build one, and wait, and getting Syncro AWD 4WD is going to take a while or be very costly if you are in a hurry. They were extremely limited in production, and very few imported into USA. Canada and Mexico have some. Importing and paperwork is a hassle. Here are the facts about this Syncro. Conversion costs around $25k if you can broker a good deal. No wimpy gutless, sluggish powerless van. This will climb mountains with ease. Call or text Mr. Joe Baker at 9530 227-2610) or email him at joeb@joebaker.net . He was the contact at Subagon.com that brokered this contract for me. His brother is not aware I am selling this so Joe will be your best contact for info. He is also on the road a lot lately so be patient on text/email replies.

Power plus Speed, Subaru Computer controlled. These conversions can be done for $30 to $50k if you find the right place and work a deal, around $30K if you do it yourself and have a working knowledge of conversions and the computers that run the engine. I have put about 9,0000 miles on this since the conversion, fixed some minor things like a new power steering pump, the A/C thermo-resistor replaced. There are some minor chips in the windshield. I will have this replaced upon non-refundable deposit $5k for contracted sale, or give you an allowance to replace we agree upon at final payment. The fuel gauge sometimes does not work (suspect bad sender), and I will also give you an allowance to fix this we agree upon. The plastic plate on the exterior Electrical cover disappeared (I suspect the spring broke and pin slipped out.) I will replace or give you the cost of the part and shipping allowance for this as well from Van Cafe. Nothing hidden or covered up, you are getting all the info. I have attempted to include everything here but, may have forgotten some items. ABOUT THE SVX CONVERSION: The conversion to the SVX engine and computer, mechanics, wiring, was contracted with SUBAGON.com in Redding California. Van was torn down, painted and restored with original parts, excluding the SVX upgrade and some minor items. The Subaru SVX computer was wired in and all wiring done to fully utilize all original VW functions. IMPORTANT ITEM IS when licensing and registering, THIS IS Still considered a regular car/van so
insurance is cheap, and your Homeowners association can’t stop you from parking
at your place as it will register as a regular car/van. Not considered
a conversion Van (Class B). This is a really nice plus if you have an HOA, and
I do and was not permitted to park an RV at my place. My costs for insurance,
license, registration and plates cheap (will show you receipts).The canvas in
the pop top is all new and works fine with no leaks. PopTop Has extra opening
for a window type view with mosquito netting in the canvass so sleepers in top
can see out. All poptop arms, mechanism new. Wired for 110v, external water,
external LPG. Inverter powered off gas mat deep cycle battery, so that all your
12v appliances and lights work on the battery and/or the inverter supplying
power in both 12v/110v. Switch behind seat to enable switching from external
110v to internal. Solar panel charges this entire system when parked. Add up
the costs for all this and you will see my price is for a quick sale, and beats
others at Go Westy and other places. Go to SUBAGON, do your build list price
then add the VW…. You will find that Mine has additional options and will cost
a lot more than the $72K price tag.
SALE PRICE IS $72k Terms: signed contract or EBAY sale, $5k down, as a non-refundable
deposit, $67K upon picking up vehicle, and these funds in cash or a cashier’s
check, postal money order(s) that will require you wait until it clears through

paypal personal checks, credit cards, bitcoins as the scammers out there are
making it this way. I will accept funds transferred to one of my accounts, and
that my bank verifies. Must wait until my bank verifies, and that funds
transferred are legitimate and not part of a fraud/theft. Sorry, but this is
for everyone’s protection.
Contact me via this email “ 1990syncro@q.com

2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed
Tue, Jan 13 2015There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down. Also, look farther down for all of the winning videos and read their full announcements. View 3 Photos Automobile Advertising of the Year Winners Announced New York, NY (January 13, 2015) – The One Club (www.oneclub.org), producers of the prestigious One Show Awards and Creative Week, today announced the winners for the 2nd Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards. In partnership with the North American International Auto Show (www.naias.com) in Detroit, The One Club today unveiled the best automotive ads from around the world in five categories: broadcast TV, online video, interactive, experiential advertising, and print & outdoor. Winners will be presented on-stage at a special event during the NAIAS Press Preview on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at the Cobo Center in Detroit at 4:55 p.m. The event is sponsored by AOL's Autoblog.
Recharge Wrap-up: BYD sales surge, new Mazda MX-5, plug-in VW Passat
Mon, Jul 7 2014BYD has enjoyed a tremendous leap in sales since last year, according to Want China Times. Sales from January to April were ten times that of the same period last year, with much of the credit going to government subsidies for clean cars. BYD claims, though, that battery production is limiting the number of vehicles it sells, and that by increasing that production capacity, it will see even more success. BYD's Qin plug-in hybrid, introduced in December, has already sold 4,500 units with another 8,000 orders already placed. Read more here. Mazda will reveal the fourth generation of its MX-5 roadster in September. To celebrate the car's 25th anniversary, the all-new two-seat convertible will debut during simultaneous private events in Spain, Japan and the US on September 3 and 4. Furthermore, the new Miata will be the center of a more public event in Barcelona on September 6. For fans in the US, Mazda will hold a Miatas at Mazda Raceway event from September 5 to 7. The 2016 MX-5 promises to continue to offer a lightweight, balanced design for fun and efficiency. The new Volkswagen Passat will feature a plug-in hybrid version. Volkswagen confirmed the Passat PHEV for Europe at the model's unveiling at the Volkswagen Design Centre in Potsdam, Germany. The plug-in Passat uses a 154-horsepower TSI engine and an 80-kilowatt electric motor for a total output of 208 horsepower. With a full charge, it can travel up to 31 miles on electricity alone. All versions of the eighth-generation Passat use stop-start and regenerative braking. Read more at Green Car Congress. BBC warns that the costs of charging an electric vehicle in the UK could surpass those of fueling a gasoline engine. Not so fast, says The Green Car Website. While the BBC cites charging services like Charge Master introducing fees for rapid charging making it cost about as much per mile to drive as traditional internal combustion engines. The Green Car Website points out that most people usually charge at home for much less, that paying for rapid charging is still not that expensive and that the BBC article misses the point about EVs, anyway.

Rising aluminum costs cut into Ford's profit
Wed, Jan 24 2018When Ford reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to fret that rising metals costs have cut into profits, even as rivals say they have the problem under control. Aluminum prices have risen 20 percent in the last year and nearly 11 percent since Dec. 11. Steel prices have risen just over 9 percent in the last year. Ford uses more aluminum in its vehicles than its rivals. Aluminum is lighter but far more expensive than steel, closing at $2,229 per tonne on Tuesday. U.S. steel futures closed at $677 per ton (0.91 metric tonnes). Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is weighing whether to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which could push prices even higher. Ford gave a disappointing earnings estimate for 2017 and 2018 last week, saying the higher costs for steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as currency volatility, could cost the company $1.6 billion in 2018. Ford shares took a dive after the announcement. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told analysts at a conference in Detroit last week that while the company benefited from low commodity prices in 2016, rising steel prices were now the main cause of higher costs, followed by aluminum. Shanks said the automaker at times relies on foreign currencies as a "natural hedge" for some commodities but those are now going in the opposite direction, so they are not working. A Ford spokesman added that the automaker also uses a mix of contracts, hedges and indexed buying. Industry analysts point to the spike in aluminum versus steel prices as a plausible reason for Ford's problems, especially since it uses far more of the expensive metal than other major automakers. "When you look at Ford in the context of the other automakers, aluminum drives a lot of their volume and I think that is the cause" of their rising costs, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at auto consultancy LMC Automotive. Other major automakers say rising commodity costs are not much of a problem. At last week's Detroit auto show, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reiterated its earnings guidance for 2018 and held forth on a number of topics, but did not mention metals prices. General Motors Co gave a well-received profit outlook last week and did not mention the subject. "We view changes in raw material costs as something that is manageable," a GM spokesman said in an email.
