Subject:1987 Syncro Parts Van For Sale

Hi all,

I'm selling my 1987 passenger syncro parts van. It is located in
London Ontario, but it is a US vehicle so it should not be a problem
getting it back into the states (I still have the Michigan
registration).

The engine and transmission are out of it. The engine started in the
van but with a severe knock. I can't name the exact mileage, but it is
about 190k. Tranny is a non locker and seems like it is in decnet
shape (some wear on the main rod). VDO oil pressure gage on the motor
showed normal pressure when PO was driving it.

The exhaust system is relatively fresh.  I think the rear pipe, the
cast "Y", the connector pipe between the Y and the Cat, and the
muffler have all been replaced in the last year.

There is seam rust in the usual places and a bad spot in the front
valence above the headlight.   The driver's side rear wheel arch took
a hit from some road debris and is bent.  The roof above the driver's
door has a dent from something falling on it before I got the van.

The interior is average, seats are gone but I know where they went anc
could et them ack if you really want them.

There is one of the heaviest duty trailer hitches that you will find
on a Vanagon.  It is reinforced to the bumper horns and will likely
pull out the frame before failing.  The PO says he pulled a 5000 lb
trailer with it and it worked beautifully.

Asking $2000 US OBO. Trying here first then going to eBay. Phtos available.

Chris
