Subject:2 cheap syncros fs
From:William Dummitt

Once again I've bitten off more projects than I can chew and am willing to
let one or both of these syncros  go cheap.  (location St. Louis MO, I'll
be at Buses by the Arch)

1- 87 flash silver.  Was running fine when I bought it, though with low oil
pressure.  Also has the dreaded 3/4 slider problem with the tranny, hence
no 4th gear.  No fuel injection problems, no driveline vibration.   I'm now
in the process of dropping the engine and tranny.   Nice flash silver body,
minor seam rust, pretty good whack to sliding door.  Clean interior.  Diff
lock.   Priced less than the engine and tranny cores are worth- $1000 for
the complete van.

2- 86 bronze.  Good mechanical condition, including a freshly rebuilt
syncro tranny.   No fuel injection or driveline problems.  Close to 200K
but had a complete shortblock at 98k.  Body is rusty and dented.  Priced
barely above the value of the tranny- $3000.  

My plan was to swap the engine/tranny from one to the other, then part out
the remainder.  But as anyone who knows me is aware, I have too many
projects and need space. Will sell one or both.  Call for details,
314-918-0720 eves and weekends, 314-539-1406 weekdays 8-5 CST.
