FOUND: 1986 VW Quantum Wagon. Why not try to drive it home X country?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Once again our Chief of Vehicle Acquisitions has found one of my bucket list cars. The only "problem" is the location. This car has lived its life in Idaho. I'm sure it will need some work, but I think with a little luck (and a new timing belt before the trip) we can make it on a true cross country road trip from Idaho to Maryland in a 1986 Volkswagen Quantum Wagon.

We had a Quantum wagon in the same color when I was a kid in the 80’s. It had a sunroof. Good memories. Thanks for sharing.

Hey does your instrument cluster have an up shift indicator?
Man, I love these old VWs. The Passat B3 was also sold in the US and it came very well-equipped

I almost got a B3 before I found this one. B3 was a manual! I'm glad I found a B2 because these are about gone here in the states.
Nice video, I finally found a syncro wagon just a few years ago on the eastern shore. Has always been one of my dream cars. Beautiful find there for sure.

Any chance of getting up to Deep Creek for Dubbs at the Lake this year? Usually May
Very nice car, love the engine sound. We had these in México and they were sold as the "Corsar CD & Corsar Variant". Regards!

We didn't have too many of these in the US, they got more popular with the MK3, but wagons were still rare. Thanks for watching
Seriously 😮 WOW!! sounds like an awesome time!! I drove a 1985 Dodge 600 turbe convertible from Burlington, VT to Chattanooga for a friend who couldn't get off work. Had a BLAST!! RAINX and Berryman's B12 fuel injector cleaner are your friends

Never heard about that model. Must be USA only, but looks very very cool and actualy with that 5 cyl Audi engine shoud be pretty nice. I was a little disapointed when saw K-jet :D

I did have a blast. Somehow the automatic in this car feels way better than any 4HP22 I’ve driven in a BMW…
There could have been a Sledgehammer Passat B3 Syncro with a 500 HP Group B Quattro engine !
