Subject:To Syncro or Not to Syncro
From:Larry Chase
Date:Sun, 12 May 2002 12:38:50 -0700

Folks,

Lets see ..... Now that I have my 85 Westy 2-3 months away from being set-up
the way I want  ...... I have this burning desire, long suppressed ...... to
have a Syncro Westy.

The type of back country, off the beaten track, away from the masses camping
I prefer really lends itself best to a 4x4 vehicle

Yes ... I know ..... it wouldn't be cheap.

Would be my dream vehicle .... so have to be like new cosmetically and
mechanically.

What advise .... other than "find a different dream vehicle" would you all
have?

Best Years, Common Problems, things to look out for etc.

Lastly ..... perhaps a trusted list member (Vanagon or Syncro) has a beloved
unit that they have been thinking of selling.

I would be ready around the end of July to seriously begin looking.
