I own and 86 VW Quantum Syncro Wagon...It basically has early Audi 4000
Quattro running gear..5 Cyl- 5 speed, Center and rear lockers and is the
best winter/ski rig ever, but low ground clearance.
Never was an Audi Syncro badge'd rig I know of..

Googled it.
Rarer than Vanagon Syncros!  LOL
I should have paid twice what a Vanagon Syncro emblem was worth.

I have compared it to real Syncro badge... Identical
