Hello everyone,

Sorry for the cross posts on the lists.

I am putting the Syncromog up for sale. I have bills to pay and no work
coming in.

A recap of how it is equipped. 22" ride hieght, 9" of  front and 11" of rear
suspension travel. Front Bilstein coil over  shocks. Doetsch Tech rear shocks.
Front upper control arms are custom  chromoly. Rear axles have 930 CV joints
with chromoly cages. Front axles have  930 CV joints with chromoly cages for
the inner and the outer CV's are the  98MM 16" syncro style. Front and rear
lockers with 6.17 ring and pinions. Tom  Lengyl driveline disconnect along with
solid shaft replacing the VC. Front  and rear skid/bash plates with 15" of
ground clearance down the middle. 15"  9x30 Yokohama Mud Terrian tires on South
african alloy wheels. Overland  front big brake conversion. New wheel cylinders,
shoes and drums were installed  on the rear. Custom front and rear bumpers.
Factory sun roof option but has no  AC. Has Power steering and windows/ door
locks. Power door locks do not  work. Right front window regulator just broke.
Has AM/FM/CD player stereo  with two amps with a total power of 1100 watts. Two
10" sub woofers under middle  seat with 6x9 Rockford Fosgate speakers in
place of the original rear  speakers. 6" speakers installed in front doors.

Engine is original WBX with over 200K on it. Has new custom sidewinder
custom exhuast on it for high ground clearance. Will not pass CA smog test  unless
original exhaust is installed with Cat. I have a new Cat that goes with  it
but not the stock syncro exhaust. I do have a Vanagon WBX exhaust.  Engine still
runs strong and does seep coolant when it falls  below freezing. Driveline
needs to be replaced. Engine wire harness  should be replaced because of pesky
mice. I have another harness for  it.

Body has numerous severe dents and body seam rust. Interior has weekender
rear fold out bed and seats 7. Interior is in nice shape and has been assembled
from other Vanagons so all colors match. If you need current pics this Syncro
is  not for you. It is not cherry and is meant for serious play. It has never
left  me stranded and worst failure was worn out throttle pedal linkage fell
apart in  Moab. That was replaced right after. This Syncro is not fresh as the
trans and  front diffs were built in the spring of 2001. It has been
maintained and  serviced over the years. Has many parts that are no longer available.
I have  front Factory CV boot protectors that were never installed. I have the
factory  belt/pebble guards that were never installed.

Pictures and Video can be found in numerous places on the internet.

Sold AS IS with NO warranty.

Asking $10,000 or best offer.

Serious inquiries only will not answer nit picking e-mails

Thanks for your time.
