For Sale at Auction: 1990 Volkswagen CC in Owls Head, Maine

Offered for sale with No Reserve is this rare and highly capable 1990 Volkswagen Transporter Syncro Doka 4x4 Double Cab, a military-spec Type 2/T3 crew cab originally commissioned for the U.S. Air Force. Built by Volkswagen in partnership with Steyr-Puch, this unique pickup spent much of its service life at Ramstein Air Base in Rhineland, Germany before being imported to the United States under previous ownership. The current owner acquired the truck in 2020. Finished in Army Green over a gray interior, this Syncro Doka is powered by Volkswagen's 2.1-liter water-cooled flat-four engine with Bosch Digifantelectronic fuel injection, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission featuring an ultra-low "crawler" gear and Volkswagen's renowned Syncro all-wheel-drive system. Factory locking front and rear differentials provide exceptional off-road capability. The odometer currently shows approximately 33,000 kilometers (about 20,000 miles), although total mileage is unknown. The rugged three-door crew cab is equipped with skid plates, dual mirrors, Euro-code halogen driving lights, rear tow ball, trailer and charging hookups, and a sturdy bed rack. The pickup bed features diamond-plate flooring, fold-down bed sides, a lockable lower "treasure chest" storage compartment with flip-up access doors, and a convenient slide-out tool drawer. Inside, the cabin features replacement TriStar front bucket seats, a removable glass partition behind the front seats, a rear bench area with storage locker and tool drawer, black dashboard, perforated white headliner, center console, rubber floor mats, manually operated windows, an original Volkswagen stereo, and a desirable Webasto auxiliary heater. Instrumentation includes a VDO 180 km/h speedometer, clock, fuel and coolant gauges, plus additional Bosch VDO gauges that are currently disconnected. A digital satellite speedometer has been added to display speed in miles per hour. The tachometer operates intermittently, and the original speedometer cable has been disconnected due to excessive noise. Under the current ownership, extensive mechanical work has been completed, including: Replacement of the engine head gaskets New engine mounts New water pump New exhaust system Repairs to the Digifant fuel injection system Replacement fuel injectors and fuel system components New CV joints and boots Transmission and differential fluid service New shift mechanism with linkage adjustment Cooling system overhaul with stainless steel coolant pipes Brake service and replacement as needed High-torque starter installation Included with the sale are: Two ignition keys Two sets of keys for the storage locker and tool drawer Five 16-inch aluminum wheels fitted with Yokohama Geolandar A/T tires Service manuals Maintenance receipts Volkswagen T3 reference books Unassembled 1/35-scale T3 Transporter model kit Original rear bench seat cushions Original front seat headrests Bed tonneau cover Tall bed enclosure with steel frame Also included-VW Vanagon / Syncro Doka Parts Package New, never-installed parts from some of the most respected Volkswagen vendors.
