oldcarguy Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) I have a few boxes full of factory original early Subaru tools, dealer literature, parts lists, service bulletins, advertising brochures, a box full of NOS early 70's promotional buttons, etc. This all came from what I've been told was one of the first Subaru dealers in the area. Covers late 60's through late 70's or possibly early 80's. It's a treasure trove but alas, I don't have a car they will work on so they need a new owner. Local pickup greatly preferred because I really don't want to pack and ship this stuff. Located about 30 miles NW of downtown L.A. Taking offers, detailed photos available upon request.

carfreak85 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 What are you looking to get for the lot? Give us a starting point, this isn't an auction house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarguy Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Fair enough, I guess I'm being that guy I hate who posts an ad with make offer. Truth be told I'm still trying to figure out what this stuff is worth. I'm selling it for an elderly couple so I just want to get them a fair price and find the stuff a good home where it will be appreciated for what it is. I'm a car guy but I just don't know early Subarus so in the back of my mind I was hoping a local guy would pop up who could help figure out what everything is and make a fair offer. I just dug it all out and got some photos of what is there. The first photo are all tools with part numbers starting with prefix 899. The second photo are all prefix 921. The third photo are mixed tools, including some that I haven't fully identified as Subaru yet. There were some MOWOG/BMC (British) tools mixed in, so if any of these remaining tools are identified as British then they would not be included. There is also a photo of one of the buttons mentioned. There could be more including some parts, but this is everything I've found so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarguy Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 And here is most but not all of the literature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarguy Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 And a few more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarguy Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 I also have the dealer plates from the dealership along with the dealer licenses for each plate and a pile of NOS chrome dealership frames. These are 60's CA black plates (auto, motorcycle and trailer), and 70's blue plates (auto) plus one very special blue plate. The plates are not currently for sale but whoever buys this stuff will get first crack at them if or when they do become available. Does $300 for the tools and literature posted above sound reasonable? It's probably 60 pounds of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoyl Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Do want on the 360 bits! PM coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Doesn’t sound so bad for a true collector. Good luck with it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarguy Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 dfoyl, replied to PM. While I have your attention, does anyone recognize these parts? I know the torsion bar is Subaru but not sure what model. And the rest of the parts, possibly Subaru steering column bits? They were all found in a box together and haven't seen daylight in decades.

moosens Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 All I can offer is what you’ve probably already done. Check the manuals you have looking at the pictures. I’ve often identified parts that way with no part number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarguy Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Update: Everything is sold and the elderly couple is grateful so thanks to all. There was another whole box of stuff too, so hopefully it was a good deal for the buyer. I'm, just glad it all found a good home where it will be put to use.
