Some people like to see how low they can go. Others, want to go in the opposite direction. This Vanagon Syncro, see on The Samba, has a 35mm lift kit installed. The kit was apparently purchased from Oberschlachter and it makes the Vanagon appear very high. I would suggest it is in need of larger wheels and tires to match.
File this one under crazy Vanagon paint jobs. This 1990 Vanagon sits outside the Hood Canal Marina with a paint job fit for its surroundings. Someone decided (after the fact) to paint some fish on this Vanagon, perhaps to make it feel at home. The otherwise normal looking Vanagon is instantly transformed into something to look at. This is definitely not my aesthetic choice, but I’ll give them an “A” for effort.
Check out this party doka that is posted on The Samba. Their website seems to be out of commission so I can’t tell if it is for rent, but it’s an interesting use of a VW Doka. She has a table and booth seats on the back with speakers above. Very cool. Click through for another pic.
The yellow stripe on this 1990 Tristar Syncro truck caught my eye. It is an interesting two-tone paint job if you can call it that. It may just be more of a thick yellow stripe. It does have some nice driving lights on the front lower grill and semi-truck side view mirrors, but beyond that it’s a normal Syncro truck. Check out many more pictures of this Syncro in the website. The interior is light gray which means this truck likely had a color change.
There is so much to love about this rugged high top. It appears to be somewhere in Germany as it is appearing in this forum. All she needs is a new set of wheels and this would be a winner. I wish we had some interior pics, but check out the winch on the front bumper and the driving lights on the roof. This ride is ready for all off roading adventures!
This 1990 Volkswagen Vanagon Weekender is owned by Volker Weiss, a real estate pro on Maui. His van is powered by a Subaru engine and as you can see, it has many upgrades. How would you like to cruise around Maui in this beauty? Volker says he had some rust issues so his van is currently being re-worked and will get a brand new paint job.

This 1990 High Top Adventure Wagon was for sale in Palo Alto, CA recently. The price? $22,000. She was brought to California from Arizona where she spent most of her life. It has an interesting interior with the kitchen sitting right up against the front seats. It looks like it has decent cabinet space with a small sink. Other than that, this van looks pretty normal. Click through for more pics.
We found a LED brake light online that was wider than the version GoWesty sells. This light did not stick to the back window with double stick tape so the challenge was figuring out how to mount it. We thought about mounting it to the back hatch, but that would mean drilling into the hatch and leaving some exposed wire. We opted for mounting the light on the air conditioner’s evaporator housing.
This Syncro was for sale recently in Washington. The asking price? $37,000. Apparently, this van was for sale in Los Angeles, but people who went to see it were disappointed by a poor paint job, rust, etc. Someone up in Washington put some work into the van and sold it. According to this listing, the work was done by Small Car in Tacoma, WA. She looks great!
