azdave Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I saw this on FB today. Anyone able to save this 82 4WD GL manual wagon at Copart in Hayward, California? Ad says it has mechanical damage. Sure looks good and I don't see any bids nor a reserve price. I put the link here figuring the right people would see it here more readily than in the sales forum. https://www.copart.com/lot/72538352/clean-title-1982-subaru-gl-4wd-ca-hayward 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Wow, very nice. Why wouldn't someone buy that!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Someone will. It’s yet to be allocated an auction date/start time, hence why you can’t bid atm. It looks pretty good for its age. The front end sits a bit low it seems, maybe that’s the mechanical issue if it’s not engine related. The steering wheel is in the wrong side too Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what is up with that but guessing the auction ended yesterday with no bids and they will try again soon. The auction was definitely active yesterday morning with 7 hours to go. It was also being discussed for the same reason on FB groups since there were no bids. I saved a wider screen shot from when it was an active auction. I hope they give it another try and not scrap it. Edited January 18, 2023 by azdave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Maybe that’s their plan/method of getting it scrapped. “Nobody bid on it so it needs to be scrapped” - but on one could bid on it… Hopefully it goes up again for actual bids to be made!

azdave Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 Pass the word. The auction is back open again for 5 more days. This is no reserve and the starting bid is $200 with no bids yet. I hope someone can save it. I'm at my limit with 15 vehicles and three trailers at home. The ad says it runs and drives but still could have a blown head gasket or fried clutch. https://www.copart.com/lot/72538352/clean-title-1982-subaru-gl-4wd-ca-hayward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 An old friend has his eye on it now that I’ve alerted him. He had the exact same color , model , pretty damn close all around to this one up for sale. Chris is a member here as well. This board is how we all came to know each other here in CT and just this past year I was sifting through one guy’s family’s barn and came across parts from Chris’ 1975 4WD wagon. That was a lifetime ago. Chris moved out west , started a family and now he’s back East. And looking for a match for his beloved 84 4WD wagon. And the stuff in the barn has finally been disseminated and concluded. Barn living a new life. Your story of the day. Cheers! Connecticut people can chime in now. chirp. chirp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdave Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 There's a $300 bid on it with about 1 day to go so maybe it will be saved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdave Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 The wagon shows as sold. Maybe the buyer will show up here one day. VIN = JF2AM53B2CE429703 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 He’s been here and may still be active. I haven’t checked. But over on the dreaded FB our man Chris reports the car is his and will be living life in the upper right corner of the USA. Another New England Classic Subaru. Thanks for posting. I altered Chris and he’s made the deal full circle so you accomplished your goal of finding the right home for it. This past year I was also the recipient of a vintage Subaru posted by a fellow Subathusiast Cheers ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that you can't directly review final auction results unless you pay to join Copart. I found one of those many "auction results" consolidation websites that scrapes info from various auction sites and it shows it sold for $675 with additional $238 in auction fees. I could be completely wrong but that's what I found online through a 3rd party site. Edited January 26, 2023 by azdave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I’ll check with Chris the new owner when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clantieri Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) I'm right here, guys. Yes the 82 wagon is mine. It actually gotdelivered to Maine today. It may actually be one of the most rust free I have had, although a few minor spots here and there. It runs great and needs a few things, so stay tuned. And yes, Paul is correct, it is paint code 259 Cream Yellow, just like my 84 wagon! Surprise, I also bought the 81 wagon in Boise ID as well!

azdave Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Glad you saved it! Did you find out why it was listed as having mechanical damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Congrats on both. Idaho car - I think I missed that one. What color ? Hope we get together this summer. For sure I have at least one EA81 down here at another guys place upstate. Closer to you. Keep in touch. Ciao ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't found any yet, runs and drives just fine. I know it failed a bunch of emissions stuff, so maybe that was it, being from California and all.
