1990 AWD VW SYNCRO VANAGON  WESTFALIA POPUP  CAMPER with 3.3 liter 240hp SVX SUBARU CONVERSION FULL RESTORATION.

I will ,if this sells for right price reimburse the buyer for a plane ticket out here to pick this up. However we would agree on the price, and then be deducted at final price payment or a cash reimburement. I will pick you up at the Colorado Springs Airport, and possibly Denver International...it is a far drive for me there.

A new windsheild and washer blades, installed upon receipt of the 2000.00 deposit (it does have some chips).  Te price of replacement can be deducted-allowing you to get warranty on windshield. Living Socila and Groupon do these all the time. This van will be fully detailed inside and out and ready to drive after i sign the title over to you.  It will be winterized as we are in Colorado and it is way too cold for water in the sink/shower system.

You will get all receipts and the PORTFOLIO from www.subbagon.com

Ok, that's about it....email me questions and I suggest using ebay foor both of our safety. Thank you...Bob

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.

This unit has its own external outlets as well, and this is also backed up by a “trickle charger” to use when parked or stored to insure everything is hot/fully charged. The Lighting, and interior electrical outlets power surge 2 outlets 1 multiple, 2 large 12v fluorescents replace the original 12v dome style lights that would kill battery.

You can add a AWD decoupling kit (temporarily disengages AWD to 2 WD),  that will really increase your mileage, but I have been in the hospital too much and recuperating unable to get out and do anything. The conversion can be done for about $3k with warranty and can increase gas mileage dramatically. VW dealers work on this Van and love it. Older parts are available via http://www.van-cafe.com/ and they can get any part the VW dealer may not have. Friendly staff and quick shipping.  This is currently fully titled (full and clear) in Colorado, currently registered, insured and working, stored in my garage for winter. It has been winterized, but will pump winterized fluids with ease for testing. It will work but will be pumping wintterized fluid-not drinkable water so it would need de-winterizing in a warm local.  This is painstaking cared for and parked in my garaage at all times, except when in use. No hail damage or other stuff like that...and Colorado gets hail!

 

This is powered by a 3.3 liter SUBRAU SVX 240 HP engine (same kind as used in the sports car and ultralight aircraft). Full conversion to Subaru SVX 3.3 liter pancake engine By Subagon.com. 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 $62K price tag, even w/o the SVX engine.  If you wanta wasserbox go to Gowesty.com  they have a wasserbox Syncro listed for $75k right now (not kidding).

SALE: funds in cash or a certified cashier’s check, postal money order(s) if agreed upon. I require you wait until it clears through my bank (sorry). So a cash sale is better for both of us-cheaper too since paypal will take a cut!  I will accept funds transferred to an 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 ebay, if you do not, and use this email 1990syncro@q.com,  I insist you provide me with your email that includes your full name (first & last), verifiable US postal address, verifiable phone number will be responded to. EBAY veriifiction a must. This way if you are a verified ebay bidder, I can work with you.

I will not give out my phone # until I verify your info is not that of a scammer. (Again, I need to weed out scammers, sorry for the process).

I have changed the listing to an auction with a reserve. Don't ask me what the reserve is. Ridiculous offers and emails will not be responded to. 

Thank you for looking, I will answer questions within a day if at all possible.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Weekly Recap: 2016 CTS-V gives Cadillac new momentum for the new year

Sat, Dec 27 2014

It's been a rough year for Cadillac. The historic luxury carmaker been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: Declining sales, ditching its advertising agency and the relocation of its headquarters from Detroit to New York. But in late December, Cadillac reminded everyone what it does best: Build some of the rawest and most compelling luxury sedans in the world, as evidenced by the 2016 CTS-V. This monster churns out 640 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Sound familiar? That's the Corvette Z06 engine, and it makes this CTS the most powerful production Cadillac ever. It also puts the sporting divisions of the Germans on notice. The new CTS-V easily overpowers the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic and its 5.5-liter biturbo V8 rated at 577 hp, and the BMW M5 (with the competition pack) and its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 575 hp. The rear-wheel drive Cadillac can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, which is close to the 3.5-second time turned in by the 4Matic-driven E63 S, and a bit quicker than the 4.1 seconds posted by the M5. With Magnetic Ride Control, General Motors' stout eight-speed automatic transmission (also used in the Corvette), Brembo brakes and a carbon-fiber option package that pretty much builds your car out of carbon fiber – it's clear this Cadillac means business. Truth be told, we expected this CTS-V to deliver. It's been a serious sports sedan for a decade, and the recent generation and its 556-hp arrogance have been particularly memorable. But notice what we're doing here? We're talking about product. Not who makes Cadillac's ads, or if the brand's headquarters has a mailing address in NYC. Like the 2016 ATS-V that's due in the spring, the debut of the 2016 CTS-V (on sale in late summer) is a shot in the arm for Cadillac, and its arrival comes during time of transition. The brand is trying to reinvent itself as a modern luxury maker. It wants new customers, a different image and obviously more sales. Those things are going to take time, but with a 640-hp sledgehammer of a sports sedan on tap for next year, Cadillac can still maintain some of its swagger through all of the change. Other News And Views 1984 Audi Sport Quattro heads for the auction block If you're into '80s rally cars, you're really a car person. But if you're into that stuff – and we are – this 1984 Audi Sport Quattro is sure to get your blood flowing.

Lamborghini could be sold or spun off from the Volkswagen Group

Sat, Oct 12 2019

Volkswagen is reportedly considering a sale or stock listing for its high-end Lamborghini brand. The German automaker is looking to fold the Italian supercar brand into a separate legal entity, reports Bloomberg, which cites "people familiar with the matter" who don't want to be identified "because the deliberations are confidential and no decisions have been made." Any of this sound familiar? The goal of spinning off Lamborghini would be to stockpile more cash and other resources for VW's massive planned push into electric vehicles. Back in March, reports circulated that Volkswagen's "Vision 2030" corporate plan might include plans to focus on the brand's core brands — VW, Audi and Porsche. That means the futures of fringe players like Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, motorcycle brand Ducati and design firm Italdesign (and note this isn't a comprehensive list of brand's under the expansive VW Group umbrella) are up in the air. VW, according to the report, is targeting a market value of $220 billion, which is a big jump from the brand's current $89 billion valuation. Bloomberg pegged Lamborghini's valuation at around $11 billion back in August, buoyed by sales and profits generated by the introduction of the Urus sport utility vehicle. On the flip side, Lamborghini is currently grappling with how best to update its supercar lineup in the face of ever-increasing emissions regulations.
