 |
|
Just to let anyone in the Calgary AB area know there is a vanagon single cab at Bucks. Pretty stripped out before it showed up. Just hit the yard. Has box sides and tailgate still for sure. I did not own it, nor have I taken any parts from it. I just wanted to let you guys know about it and I hope it can help someone out. I'll try to post pics shortly.

Gates and treasure chest doors! Rear window!
Also, hard to tell, but maybe a 16"? Looks like all the running gear is already gone though.

Looks like some BFG tires off it in the back.

Wish it was closer, I'd buy the entire thing and revive it.

Yeah, the body looks pretty solid, I wonder why the PO stripped out the running gear? Sad.

| Yes it is sad to see. If I had any room at all I would have tried to get it out of there. It is pretty much just a shell, but i would love to sit on it until I could put it back together. |

Did you notice if it was a 2wd or 4wd? The fuel filler locations 2wd: front wheel arch; 4wd: just forward of the right rear wheel arch (on a truck) |

It was a Syncro. Looked like anything related to it being one is already gone.

Interesting. I agree with Ms.Taboo it could be a 16. It certainly looks as though it had flares on it from the wheel well staining. If that's the case it certainly is worth saving. The Syncro 16 single cabs were the rarest of the 16s. |

That's really great, it would have been a real shame to see it go to waste. I know we need them in wrecking yards for parts but that was too rare to scrap.
