Buying an UNBELIEVABLY RARE 1986 4X4 VW bus to live out of!!! 

What a feeling that must be!

This thing is sweet! As a CRV owner I’m sad to see you move on. It would be absolutely INSANE if you had Doug Demero review this car!

Congrats! Can't wait to see it next week!

Congratulations!!! 🎉 Man so happy for you! Hope verything with the new project turns right 🙌🏻

Loved the smile you had once you said, this is my van. Amazing.

Awesome and outstanding.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Congratulations on getting the most bad ass van! Looking forward to future build and adventure videos!

Awesome video and amazing van! Cheers man

Can’t wait to see how you do the interior!

Nice video Riley, an exiting time for a young man in this world today, Kudos to you! Assuming it's a project van for adventure? Good luck with this van I'll be sure to follow you with this journey 💪

Congrats! So happy for you! That Subaru 2.2 will give you many many miles of trouble free service! Enjoy! 👍🏼😊

What a great video! Brings back so many memories of all the times I bought busses. I had four Vanagons...two of which were syncros. All had the original waterboxer. All needed waterboxer rebuilds. I did it once...to my 2nd Syncro. Got rid of it when it needed the 2nd engine rebuild. Vanagon - best ever up right driving position. I cannot tell you how much I loved those busses!!!!!! I hope you love yours and am so glad you got one which has already had so much work done to it. Love that you got a Subie conversion and a triple knob Syncro!!!! Can't wait to see what you do with it. Best Regards from Boston! PEACE And FUN

I love her laugh! She knows what fun you’ll have!

Congratulations, have fun and travel well!

Congratulations 🎉

Awesome content to see! I'm also might be making a small trip tomorrow to spend by far the most money I've ever spent and purchase myself a 1990 vw t3 syncro very similar to the one you have right here! Also the triple knob bad boy of a van! Exciting times

My dreams in one video. Bless you bro. Nice

I love it. I love the 4 wheel drive and its height, you can go anywhere. Also very spacious for 1 person. I travelled round Ireland in the 1980s in a VW camper van (Westfalia) with 2 others, it was a tight squeeze but we had fun!

Congratulations, she is a beauty. Welcome to the life. My 87 Westy Syncro is so much more than a car. Happy adventures, take good care of her.

Succes with your own Van . Enjoy it , it 's a great spec.

Dope! I have a 2wd 86 with an adventurewagen hightop, rear locker, and a ca legal Subaru swap. Not as capable as a 3 knob syncro but for me it’s more than enough for what I do.

Wow, what a gem

No way! I recently looking at this van on market place. I’m stoked on the hightop I went for instead but this thing looks hella fun!

Cool van buddy , congrats

Я очень рад за тебя! Это действительно отличное приобретение! Обожаю VW T3 Syncro 👍

I love it!

Seen that flat 4 in it, sheeesh

Sick dude!

Awesome!

nice Van. I have the same Van same year too.

congratz bro

So cool that engine swap!!! So i guess is an Volksbaru 😅

I spent a lot of time lusting after that Van and daydreaming about driving back up to Alaska to keep my '84 GL company. Looks like it went to a good owner that will really appreciate it, though. If I may offer a tiny bit of advise (which odds are you already know), try not to abuse the transaxle with that extra hp behind it. There are parts in there that are unobtanium and they are mega expensive to rebuild. Anyway, subscribed and look forward to watching your Syncro adventures!

My dream ride sweet!

Hell yuh, enjoy the build and the green book is your best friend. Hit me up if ya ever got any problems. The van will teach ya more than you thought 😅

awesome

As a crv owner it sucks to see the content stop on it, but happy for you congrats I know a lot took to make that investment.

Solid Van ...Good for Campervan

congrats dude! are you planning on building it out?

Looks great - what size tyres are you running?

I'm picking up an 81 aircooled vanagon today for 2,000 from scrapyard

just an fyi unless your syncro was imported from Europe it did not come with the front diff lock. that was added on by someone.

Syncro is spelled $yncro. It’s not cheap to own especially once you start to modify it. The transmission is costly to rebuild. At least it doesn’t have the water leaker 2.1. The only advantage to that engine is it’s lower power doesn’t beat the trans as bad.

👍🏻👍🏻

bet the previous owner is stoked on where you went with this

I wonder how many incredibly rare V W are out there ?

Tried looking for a video showing how long u kept the VW and summary of what jobs gone completed and why u chose to sell…. Is there anything on RU-vid?

How much does one of these go for over there?

Wooohoooo

howd you find it?

I will buy this car😊🥰

Oops! Ignore last it looks like u may still have the VW 🙄 my error. Looking forward to the updates 👍🏻

HI Riley Monthule Id rather get a 1986 Toyota Van instead and its better than Volkswagen.

Can't get better than a 4WD system designed and built by Steyr Puch.

And your not getting above 20mpg with the subaru. Yea i have one in my syncro.

You have "guts" to drive this VW home 8hr's they are unfortunely known for Un Reliability Maybe the subaru motor did it

🚐🌪Welcome to the club

Hope you are traveling with tools

Not rare at all especially a tintop

Pushing mongo

Congrats Riley! I too have an '86 Syncro tin-top (aka Squatch), so I will definitely be checking out your channel. And what name did you give your new Syncro??🚐😎

A 22 year old having 99995 S to spare for a vanagon ? An achievement ? Unworldly spoiled brat more likely.

whats rare about it / ive sold over 40 to usa

Congratulations 🎉
