What kind of fool doesn’t have a Danish military vehicle and a vehicle that served in Greenland in his or her collection? If that’s you, here is one vehicle which will check both boxes!
Given there are very few roads near the Danish military base where this van once lived, it has only 5,029 miles. I’d be more worried about issues deriving from lack of use here, vs. anything being worn out. The superstitious among us will also worry about haunting. With all the war and bloodshed in Greenland, who knows what happened in this ambulance.
$44,700 is a lot of money, but Syncros tend to bring the big bucks. It’s hard to say whether this ambulance is as desirable as a low-mileage camper or truck.

Things look pretty normal up front, although the seat material is more industrial vs. a US market Vanagon. Apparently, ‘service’ vehicles also had speaker delete available.
I imagine the extra switches have to do with sirens and lights.
Yes, this pretty much looks like an ambulance inside.

Attention Syncronauts…He we go again!!!
Last time we brought you the Dingman 14K Mile Hard Top Syncro and before that, the ultra-rare 48 Mile Tristar DOKA. There’s no K missing, that really is 48 miles.
This time we have an extraordinarily rare, unique, and nearly mint condition 1989 Syncro (4×4) High-top Ambulance that served the Danish Military at a base in Grönnedal Greenland since its birth. Being an emergency and military vehicle, it was meticulously maintained and runs perfectly. It is now on US soil and ready to enjoy.
2 Knobs, ready for a 3rd! It has a full locking differentials (both front and rear posi-traction ). Grönnedal only has about 5 miles of roads on the base, so the best thing about this Syncro is the mileage. . .only 8095 kilometers (that’s only 5029 miles). One of the lowest mile Syncros on Earth.
ZERO rust, waterproof front seats, NEW Hankook 195 R14 RA08 tires, dual floor mounted fire extinguishers, working emergency lights, CB, front and rear exterior spotlights, siren, and a gurney. . ..it’s basically a fully functioning ambulance. Perfect for playing German Ghostbusters on Halloween, or as a showpiece addition to a military or other vehicle collection. Small dents and other dings will be repaired before delivery. It’s NOT smog compliant in any state, so it’s being sold as a hobby vehicle or non-op (even though it runs perfectly). If you buy it, you will need to add smog equipment to make it compliant for your state.
This is another I would love to keep and convert to a Westfalia Syncro Camper but alas it is for someone else to do or to keep it the way it is as a classic part of VW Syncro history.
