    Jared I think the figure for total Syncro's sold in US was like 3000
    I feel your stoke though! I got mine, 86 syncro, a few months ago and managed to get some information from this tiny diehard cluster of VW misfits. Mine is silver and bone stock. Interior is in AWESOME shape, exterior is super good too a light crease on driver front fender and door but that is really it. ZERO rust. I got sidelined with some things including the death of my dog, she was with me for 14 years, sad she never got to ride in the Syncro. Ill be insuring it and driving it in about a week.
    Congrats on yours!

    Hi Jared,

    The grille/Headlights are from the Euro Passat B2?(what the Quantum was called overseas). Common in Europe.... not as common over here.

    When I bought that car, a while back (before it went to Zac), It came with an extra set of headlights/turn signals. I think I sold those for around $200......

    Nice ride. It looks just like mine. I like the euro headlights and grill swap. You can find them now and then, but they are hard to find.
    My grill broke on my us model and so I'm running a mk2 badge less grill cut to fit.
    Congrats on the new ride

    On the Euro models the turn signals for that setup were relocated to the bumper.

    What is yours set up for for front turn signals? I see none.
