I used to own this 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro Minivan!

223,426 miles

  • I was the original owner (and the legendary "little ol lady", having babied it and rarely took it over 61 mph!) I never had reason to take it "off-roading" -- except for the dirt roads that can be seen in some of the photos. Often went on state forest dirt roads for TrailCares (hiking trail maintenance).
  • 4 + L speed Manual transmission, Baulk-synchronized with additional compound Low-speed traction gear
  • water-cooled gasoline engine, 2.1 L fuel-injected engine, digifant engine management system
  • Syncro 4-wheel-drive, ("all wheel drive"), manually-operated locking rear differential (what is this?)
  • 14-inch steel wheels,
  • high ground clearance, skidplates underneath
  • Folding rear bench seat/bed combination *,
  • 2 rear-facing removable seats **,
  • grey cloth interior, rear compartment heater, 18.5 gallon fuel tank.
    spent hundreds of nights outdoors in the van just parked in the driveway!
    ** Seats and bed are easy to fold up & down and/or take in or out-- see photos...
  • Power rack & pinion steering, power front disc/rear drum brakes, independent front suspension, coil springs & telescopic shock absorbers, front & rear, double-jointed drive shafts
