This van is an original factory 1990 VW Syncro Westfalia that was converted to 16" factory specs by purchasing a real 16" Syncro and removing every part from the van. All parts were shipped from Germany and brought to the US and installed onto this original Syncro. All the metal suspension parts were sand-blasted and powder coated before installation. The engine in the van is a 2002 Subaru six Cylinder 3.0 motor that was installed by Bus Lab in Berkley California using a installation kit from Rocky Mountain Westy. The headers and muffler on the van were custom built for the van by Sanderson Headers in California. Both the locking diff transmission and the locking front diff have been rebuilt and have less then 500 miles on them currently. They have a 5.86 ring and pinion. This van has a German made decoupler installed so that it can have On Demand 4WD by simply pulling the center knob.
Both the front and rear suspension are factory 16" heavy duty suspension with the larger rear drums. The steel wheels are also heavy duty for any desired off-roading.

Whether navigating through city streets or exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations, the Syncro system ensures optimal traction and control. The inclusion of adjustable Fox Shocks further enhances the vehicle's off-road prowess, providing a customizable suspension system to adapt to various driving conditions.

Externally, the Vanagon showcases a classic yet refreshed aesthetic with its white exterior. The Go Westy front and rear bumpers not only contribute to the vehicle's rugged appearance but also serve as practical additions, offering enhanced protection and utility. These features, coupled with the 4-wheel drive system, make this Syncro Westfalia an ideal companion for those who seek both adventure and style on the road.
