bheinen74 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 While this car was never made by the Subaru factory, it does exist. An aftermarket company hacksawed chopped off the roof and put a cheap fabric top on them. Pretty hacked up job. There are pics floating around.

tobiasglass Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I almost bought one actually... 0.o Here's the thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=100071 It needed too much of that classic Subaru hang-up: rust repair.

Durania Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I just seen that as well on my local craigslist (I live 20 minutes away). I wonder how good of shape it is in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Just got this email back from him: "I am at work right now and it is suppose to rain most of the day today. After I get home from work, I could send you some older pictures when the car actually looked pretty good. It is not suppose to rain tomorrow, I will push the car out of the garage and take some pictures. It is a two door GL model. Yellowish beige color with a dark brown top."

johnceggleston Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 1983 2 door , would that be the "hardtop" version? surely not the hatchback. ea81 engine with a FWD trans. hopefully a 5 speed. i'm guessing. http://www.indysworld.com/80s/general/specs/general/1983glht.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman19154 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I had one of the FWD 2 doors for a short time.... that thing would haul a**! I was onto my second 4WD wagon when I got a good deal on the 2 door. Compared to the typical slugbug wagons, that 2 door was a rocket! I got the car and a Honda 3 wheeler for $300 --- sold the car back to the same guy six months later for $200. He needed transportation and I had a glut of cars in my yard. I'll always remember that little car fondly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I happen to be one of the couple of us...coupe owners on the board. ( mine is a hardtop..see avatar pic.) The converts were installed in 2 places..one in California the other here on the East coast in New Jersey ( I believe). And yes...they do haul!!! especially when you get rid of the horrible Carter or hitachi carb and put a weber in. BTW this should be postyed in the old gen side..the others will be more likely to see it and I know some have pics of the converts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
