Limited Edition Brat?

Wife came across a Limited Edition Brat in her travels.. Anyone have info on what is different about them? Looks like a Gen 2 DL but other than the hood, whats left of the grille, and chrome stripe down the side, I can't tell anything different from her pictures.. She says the tailgate claims to be a GL but I would guess its not original.

no. srry. the front grille fenders and side markers are for a 82 but the bumper is not a 82. that is not a good description

 

the front grille is a juke.

 

It IS a GL, cause it has funtops.

 

I can sell you a 76 US Brat or a 89 US BRAT if you want...lo

Let's see

 

Rear view mirrors are '83 or younger. As Flowmastered pointed out the passenger side markers are '82 and the drivers are '80-'81 hatch or wagon. Did Brats ever come with those superfluous hood vent thingys...I say definitely limited edition custom deluxe.

 

I don't think the earliest '80s ea81s had the extra trim piece running under the door lock and fuel tank door, so I bet it's an '83+ with a cobbled grill area.

I havent seen it in person, but she did say that the silver side placards say "Limited Edition" rather than SUBARU.

 

There is a Gen 1 Brat in town that has a similar hood, although the vents are a metal part of the hood rather than something attached to the hood.

 

I would love another Brat, however, I am deployed so it will still be some time before I would be able to. If you wouldnt mind, please send me a pm with pics and price on the ones you have for sale.

You can buy those "Limited Edition" chrome stick-on plates at Autozone and most any parts house. Subaru never made a "Limited edition" Brat, plus there are just gobs of mix-matched parts all over that rig...

 

The hood vents remind me a cold air returns for a house.
