No I don't, but I wish I had :-). The 16" Syncro is a HD version of the regular
14" Syncro. It has reinforced body, different rear trailing arms and the 16"
wheels, to name the basic differences. Almost any version of the Vanagon Syncro
could be delivered as 16", from basic pickups to GL Campers. Not more than 2200
or so were built.
