1 Lucky Texan Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 how much does that weigh? I bet it could really swim thru sand at the dunes or the beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wysubey Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 OOoh very nice! Hope whoever gets that one doesn't destroy it, that one deserves to stay original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Ain't it. Almost worth it to flip it as someone stated on the comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkyboy Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I saw this one too and almost had a fire sale to finance buying that beauty! I live in CO which boulder is a huge subaru pocket. Like 5x as many subes than denver on the street. And i still haven't seen a 70s subaru in real life, not even at car shows and i go to tons of those! It seems to be feast time for classic car buyers, i saw a 53 chevy bel air 2 door post for $1000 in pueblo. POST!!! This whole time I thought the post started in 55. My 85 xt was featured in jalopnik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoby4wd Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Saw this when it was first posted. Not gonna lie, I almost bought it and had it shipped back east, but then a super clean 86 Brat popped up within driving distance so I am picking that one up tomorrow.

el_freddo Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 @Subasaurus why aren’t there many old subi’s in Texas? No dealers in that era? I didn’t think they’d rust out too much in Texas from what I know of its climate (hot/dry most of the time?). Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bennie I'll tell you exactly why, Bennie The farther you get from the mountains, the less grace and finesse is needed for offroading. A nice k5 chevy blazer (cool!) Or a diesel truck (poo) is lovely in the desert or sand dunes, or where a rwd sand rail will be loads of fun is not really a place for a lightweight subaru...clearly the superior off roader in most conditions. It's hilarious to see some fool from Texas in a lifted 2wd or diesel stuck in the snow, I've helped a few out and 4lo is extra beast with ej22 Hence, CO and WA = L body aficionados South = ford raptor or crappier, unless vintage jeep with chevy engine but no subarus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
