This syncro has a good engine 2100 cc good power, no water leak, no oil
burning. PS, PW, PL, AC, nice interior, no rust, well it does have a
104,000 miles on the odometer. 5 speed manual transmission,  recent
clutch job, Blue interior and exterior, no rust,
I think it is worth $5000 at least! But willing to negotiate!
I bought the vanagon to turn it into an amphibious catamaran vanagon.
With pontoons that lift the vehicle out of the water and store on the
roof. But that is a one off project. It is a waste of time to build a
one off when I can make any  sports utility vehicle amphibious. So it is
mandatory to design and build the first prototype using a typical SUV
vehicle, not a Vanagon.

That Vanagon would have made a nice amphibious catamaran. With the
engine in the rear, driving a standard boat prop. The pontoons lifting
the vehicle out of the water wheels and all. After converting it to a
Westy without the top, it would have been nice! One can open the doors
while on the water and walk  around the vehicle on the pontoons and gang
plank between the pontoons in front and behind the Vanagon. Could even
use it for a mini house boat and do fishing off the pontoons. My goal
was to water ski behind the Vanagon but needed to boost the horsepower
up to 200 HP some how! When taking the Vanagon out of the water one
would lower the vehicle into the water so the wheels grab and drive it
up onto land, then press a button and the pontoons store on the roof,
and then away I go to another  land based camping sight in the
wilderness!

I'll probably do the project on a '93 4x4 Chevy Blazer with a 4.3 L
engine producing about 200 HP.

Sincerely

John
