Ad copy reads as follows:
Rare 87 Volkswagen Synchro 4wd van with solid body, rebuilt engine with
new heads, pistons, etc ($5000plus) with NO miles on it. New tires,
brakes. Interior very clean. Dual air needs clutch. Original owner. 419
868 7066 * Location: Maumee, Ohio

I am guessing perhaps they didn't pull then engine out of the van to do
the rebuild?  With $5K invested in repair you think someone would have
thought to check out the clutch in the process...

Happy Trails,
