  • Factory Supercharged Subaru Sambar Posing as VW

    Factory Supercharged Subaru Sambar Posing as VW

    Once upon a time, a Subaru 360-based Sambar van was sold in the US market. This is the fifth generation, which was produced from 1990 to 1998 and was never sold here.  The VW appearance it cute and all, but we’d prefer this just be a proud Subie.  Surely nothing has been done that can’t…

  • Manual 1979 Subaru Wagon in Beautiful Brown!

    Manual 1979 Subaru Wagon in Beautiful Brown!

    After our recent “Monster Legacy” post, here’s a very original, very nice 1979 Subaru wagon to make things right. The seller claims to have sold this car new while working at a local dealership in 1979 and has subsequently found the car via an estate sale. It’s now being kicked out of the house by…

  • Monster Subaru Legacy Wagon with STI Engine

    Monster Subaru Legacy Wagon with STI Engine

    Yeah, the title pretty much sums it up. The seller says this is an unfinished project, but doesn’t need too much.  We’ll see.  This uses a 2005 STI engine with Supra transmission, NP205 transfer case and 1985 Toyota pickup axles.  The parts sound legit – can you make it all work?  If so, you’ll have…

  • 1987 Subaru GL-10 AWD Turbo Wagon!

    1987 Subaru GL-10 AWD Turbo Wagon!

    Are you looking for a do-everything car?  With a turbocharged four cylinder, manual trans and wagon body, this just might be it.  This doesn’t have the power of a Passat W8 wagon; but, even at almost thirty years old, this Subaru GL-10 will be much more reliable. This Subie appears to be in amazing shape…

  • Not All Outbacks Were Wagons

    Not All Outbacks Were Wagons

    Most people conscious in the late 90s remember the Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee for those conscious in the 80s) Subaru ads for the Outback wagon.  The Outback has been a big success for Subaru because it offers all the things those ads touted – ground clearance, storage space and AWD competitive with contemporary SUVs (body…

  • Go Postal with two RHD Subaru Wagons

    Go Postal with two RHD Subaru Wagons

    Here we have a two-for-one sale including two right-hand-drive Subaru Legacy wagons.  What more can we say? Neither of these cars is in very good condition, but you might be able to piece together one good one with all the parts. Here’s a noteworthy quote from the seller related to one of the two cars:…

  • Very Rough Subaru 360

    Very Rough Subaru 360

    Is this one worth the trouble?  The seller say it might be a Young, which was the sporty version. It may technically be salvageable and not a bad deal if bought cheaply.  It will help if you can find a restoration shop which charges by the pound. Click for Craigslist ad Arizona, USA No Price…

  • 4WD, Manual Hatchback!

    4WD, Manual Hatchback!

    Though this look like a B12 Sentra “Sport Coupe” from some angles, it’s a 1988 Subie GL hatchback, which means you get 4WD as part of the mix.  This would arguably be the ultimate winter beater in a snow state, but it would be a shame to encourage it to rust away. This seems to…

  • Pre-Brat Subaru Pickup

    Pre-Brat Subaru Pickup

    We’ve featured more than a couple Subaru 360s since the glorious birth of Oddimotive, but we’ve never previously featured the truck version.  These strange little haulers were part of a family that included a coupe, ‘sedan’ and a tiny van.  The signature front end and suicide doors are thankfully present here.  The rear engine, however,…

  • The World’s First Subaru Justy Project?

    The World’s First Subaru Justy Project?

    Here we have the only Justy I’ve seen for sale with a yanked engine.  Supposedly, it was pulled for oil pump and water pump replacement. The seller does provide shots of lots of parts and it may very well all be there.  Would you put it back together stock or just go for some sort…
