1990 VW Vanagon 2 knob Syncro All Original   Price: 19850
Final call for an interested buyer at 19850 - before it is taken off the market and kept in storage until I put all the work into it.

1990 2 Knob Original Schrempf and Lahm VW Vanagon Syncro

This is a 1990 Rare Model from camping company Schrempf and Lahm,
All Original German Import
Only 3 Owners
Manual Transmission
1.6 Diesel Engine with only 168750 Miles
Front and Rear Differential Lockers
Rotary Steel Meter
Oil Temp Display
Trimatic Gas Heater
Westfalia Trailer Hitch with Rigid Ball Head

Original High roof and camping kitchen expansion - all fully functional
Clean and Waster Water Tanks (2x 120L)

This Syncro is a bit of a project but not extensive.

After a complete detailed inspection at my mechanics in Portland, OR

Body:
All seam should be done - they are showing signs of rust and some areas have been filled.

The rockers and quarter panels should eventually be replaced - there is surface rust and also some crusty spots.

Mechanically:
the 1.6 Turbo Diesel is super solid and so much life left - not a speedster - but 24-26mpg - recommended to change glow plugs and test turbo

4x4 Functions - both front and rear diffs in working order

Recommended to bleed clutch: potential air in the system

Brakes are solid

Battery showing age currently at 80% performance

Recommended drive belt change

Change fuel hoses

Glow plugs rusty and old - change

Timing Belt service recommended

Minor exhaust leak between flex pipe and resonator

Rear Axles have play in CV joints, boots showing age: new joints and boots

Front axles: recommended new boots

Recommended rear wheel bearings and hubs

Rear wheel cylinders leaking: recommended to replace

Tired original suspension: recommended new shocks, springs, struts.

Interior:

The interior is outstanding and this camping model is unique and functional and in amazing condition.

The roof stands tall and sleeping up top is cozy and comfortable without feeling closed in on.

Kitchen fully functional

Currently titled and registered in my name in Oregon

This is an all original German 2 knob syncro with a camping outfit that is one of a kind -

The vehicle is currently in Portland, Oregon.

Please contact me with any questions you may have. The vehicle is currently in storage in Portland near my home. I am currently traveling and living abroad. I will make the trip home for the sale

Price is based on quotes for repairs: needs about 2K worth of mechanical parts depending on brand selections. Needs rockers and rear quarter panels ($350).

I would accept and be happy with crypto currency.

Last Call - Will no longer be for sale after October 31st
