They're starting high,but they also know that sometimes people act impulsively with too much money in their wallet. If that Brat were here in the NYC area it'd likely sell for $4,500-5,800(USD) on a decent day.But there's too many people here with too much money and the "you only live once" mentality. Low mileage,looks solid.It'll sell,but who knows if there's a local with too much money and a yearing for a Gen I Brat.

Bryan,just wait and one of us will put the correct stripe kit in your hand.At that point you can have it copied for better adhesion. A White walls out like you've got 'em.

Ouch!:-\ Good luck with it.Let me know if you need something.

Thanks for looking,Bryan. The GLF is technically a "Hardtop",but everyone calls it a coupe. Here's a dark and mysterious photo of the elegant "Lucky le Coupe".:-p No real pillar at the window junction.The rear larger window is power,up and down,not the hinged "pop out" type. The rearmost glass is stationary.

Hey!! We don't want to hear that!! We thought you Kiwis had plenty of older Subies....maybe on the other island? So anyhow,if you guys really need a hand and want to cover shipping I'm sure one of us will help you out.I've got extra Gen I fenders and there's plenty of hoods around too. Some of us here are hungry for early 70's parts.GSR's wanted! Or even the dual carby set-ups.

Should be able to make to the the Subaru Summer Meet at OBX,right?

Those '80-84's are next to enter vintage status.Infact you can register an '80 or '81 here right now with no title and need no real inspection,as "antique". Could use a nice center emblem/badge from a 4-spoke steering wheel.I think you can find the badge I want on most GL's from '80-84.The car I need it for is an '82 GLF "coupe".The steering wheel is light brown and the center badge is blue.I want the center badge in mint condition though. The rest of the interior is really sweet in this car.Only has 38 or 39k....turns classic come January! And I'm already emission'd for life. If you come across a rustfree "coupe" that's got the fivespeed manual in it please let me know. I do intend to do some sort of voo doo dance or something with my storage before I actually move.I'm probably going to have to go deep into the mass just to pull out some items I should have never buried. All I can say is stay tuned.

Great score! I added your request list to our "Wish List" thread in the Historic Forum. I know you're a busy guy and probably don't do much yard hopping,but please consider printing our wish lists and keeping the rest of the community in mind when scouring parts.Especially if you start making some calls to older dealerships to check for any old stock. Might be able to help you on a few items.Right now my life is in storage.:-\

Just got my '78 DL yesterday and I've put together a list of things I'm looking for. If you've got any leads, please let me know: Thanks! Bryan www.bryanthompsondesign.com bryan@a-muse.com 858.220.2820 The car's VIN is: A26L733596 I am looking for the following: Rear Seat Back in Brown Vinyl Front Seats in Brown Vinyl Dash in Brown Original Subaru Floor Mats in Black Black Carpet Kit Steering Wheel/Center pad in Brown A/C Switch Hazard Switch Interior Door Handle Bezels in Brown Tranny Cooler (for automatic)

Well,it's a week+++ later....call me if you still haven't found it.

Pics???????? This is the Carlisle thread,right?

Enjoy!

You wanted to buy everything at one time or another. Patrick PM'd me first,and Andrew was supposed to handle the dealing.He claims to have sent two checks....the rest is recent history.We wanted to buy it months ago too.I hope you understand that as far as we're concerned that car should be here already and should have been at Carlisle,but plans don't always fall into place like you expect. I'm just amazed that you and Andrew have such interest in cars I saw when I was like 11 years old and you guys were like.....still twenty years down the road from birth.

I talked to your mom over last weekend.I never called her back,sorry.Andrew has his story and I'm sure you have one too.Bottom line is he wants the ff1 for sure and is planning a west coast trip soon. Thanks for keeping it covered.Gotta be some bees in there now,but that's cool.One of us will be talking to you or your mom soon. Thanks, Paul

OK,but I'm not sending gaskets without being paid. Jerry,sorry,but I whacked your post. This is not the forum for a group buy for '80-84+++ ,sorry bud.Get one going for the Gen II Brat over in that forum.I think you might not need to though.Has to be a small stash of later produced gaskets out there for those cars.Maybe.

It's about 15 miles from me and I've never seen it before!!!Un-freakin-believable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've contacted the guy and will be venturing down to look it over soon.

Congrats! And don't worry about the FrankenSubie comment. Like I said,that's seems to be mostly in the 4WD wagon.Mine is a little weird too,but I'll never complain. We found many stipe kits in the stash THAT I'M BUYING...with Andrew and Charlie from CT.

Jerry is God!!!!!!!

Pics?????????? I never even took my camera out.I heard from Andrew that he can take about 400 shots with his card/camera.....WELL??????? Next year I really think you guys are going to see one of my cars with shiny paint.The '73,I hope.

My FSM says only the 4door DL got the 5speed manual.But we do know that '78 was the year of Frankensubies,mostly in the wagon catagory though,it seems.

This is going to cause some "family difficulties",I can just tell. :-\ I might be taking the DIP!!!!

hahaha,I dozed off and Todd replied....not I know I've gotta sleep. g'nite boys.

Just PM'd you telling you to search for the old brouchures... You're fast! A 2door std. was only available in manual 4spd.The DL was 4spd or automatic. Std. does not have the cover between the body and bumper. Std. came with no radio. Probably a couple other differences...too tired right now.

All depends on the condition of it.

Home safe! Turbo golf carts,they must have been turbo golf carts....yeah,that's right. :-p well,thanks John for that lead on the barn stock.It should help my '73 some. Thanks Matt and all you guys. East Coast Hard Cores!!!!!!!!
