  It's sad that not many SJVW members are attending this event. Even though it's at a new location this is the premair swap event.

    The last time I went, Bob Mondello paid $25 for a set of  obsure aluminium pistons and cyllinders. Bob recognized what they were. He sold them on the Samba for $1000.

  I found a complete gas heater for $20.

 You want the entire transaxil?
  How much should I Pay?
   Does it have a serial number?

Honestly, the chances of there being one there are astronomically small. If you actually see on call me and I'll talk to the seller & make arrangements
(& buy you lunch for your trouble  &^beer& )

That's why i go searching for goodies, always. I might be picking up some exhaust header for my buggy!

Without people attending VW events, these shows wont be around too long. So what there's no camping..  :confused04:; Come on out and enjoy hanging out with other people who's keeping the VW scene alive.

  This looks like the same as above w/o the tail piece.

Here's the story;  I got there 7:40 AM. (Keep in mind the spectators is not suppose to open until 8:00 AM) and saw this right away at the end of the row. I rushed over, looking at the printout of your trans. It looked close. The guy said it was from a Westy but he had just sold it and the guy was coming with his truck to pick it up. He said the guy couldn't get his $400 out fast enough. Missed it by minutes.

Is that the one you wanted? Was it the tail piece you really needed?

That is a 2wd 4spd Vanagon trans, and $400 was a good price.  A Syncro trans is a 5 speed & the tailpiece is how the power is transmitted to the front wheels.

Let me give you an idea of value...

Go Westy sells rebuilt Syncro trans' for $1400. The core charge is $2500!

$400 for a Syncro trans is a steal!

Thanks so much for keeping an eye out. My Syncro almost suffered the fate of that trans you saw there. The guy I bought it from was going to part it out and take it to Volksfest last year. It would have been a crime, but he would have easily cleared $5000 for the parts.

Essentially there was nothing wrong with it...I drove it home from his house! When they're in pre-restored condition, selling them whole is always at a loss over what you can get if you part them out. After I invest about another $5k, the value will reverse, and it will always be worth MORE than my investment to sell it running
