I know this is a Eurovan but it to has a wrongly listed date of manufacture possibly to greymarket the vehicle into the country.

None of that van is 1991.

What year does it look like?

I can't tell much about T4 vans by looking at them, how do we judge the year?

I seem to recall some discussion of this van a while back. It's definitely got the dash and front sheet metal from a later model, and I don't think the TDI was offered in '91. Methinks there's some titular shenanigans in order to register that van in the US.

Found a link to a Bring a Trailer listing that shows (I think) the same van being posted on E-Bay back in 2016.

https://bringatrailer.com/2016/07/12/customized-upgraded-westfalia-1991-volkswagen-t4/

They mentioned that the front clip off a 2003 was used. Some of the BaT comments think some shenanigans were done to get a newer Eurovan into the country. Also the e-bay seller was from Woodbridge, NJ. If this the guy that I think he is, then this is the dude that imports nice vans from Europe and posts them on E-Bay as "no reserve". When it's "sold" at a price lower than what he wants, the auction miraculously has a problem and is reposted for another go-round. A lot of the same cars make multiple trips through E-Bay as "sold". Anyway, it looks like it found its way to MN to another dealer describing it this time as "unrestored".

How about a early model VW stock vanagon front grill for $200, here in the SF Bay Area. Must be VERY special.

Nice van but that's much too high a price for it.

Not sure, as I am not much of a Syncro informationist, but not even provisioned for even 1 knob? Stock 2WD airbox cover... Hmm.... Oh well. Ya, 29/5 is pretty insane. Still, IF I were to have a couple hundred thou, and wanted to build a fleet of all variants I could, in super condition, this might be one I would go see in person.

Yep, low budget Syncro. No rear locker and no vacuum system for running it.

Hmmm....I'd want to knock $30 off for replacement of hatch shocks.

He made a typo concerning those hatch struts.

Supposed to have said that they're good but need a little work.

It’s called the “San Francisco/Bay Area Effect.” And it’s great if your a seller.
