The missing drive shat raises big questions about the 4WD
system, not to mention the cost of replacing it. I don't want
to lowball you but I have seen syncro westies changing hands
for ridiculously low prices recently, if there was any
question about the syncro gear. $3,000 in one case! Karl had
a syncro up for sale for months at $6,900, I dont know what
he eventually sold it for.

BTW is that a stretch Vanagon in the background?

Thanks,
Chris
