Another thing.... You have a four door automatic. Slow but an absolute old lady car. And those are most of what you will find when coming across a true to life old lady car. One of us might have a rear seat back for you. Pretty sure I passed one along to ctsuba. He definitely has them in 79 blue.

Find of the Year, maybe!! Looks like an original to me. I've had super low mileage old lady cars and that looks right on par. Maybe I missed it but does it still have the warning decal on the drivers door up high? That's a cold weather carb shield. You can do without it this time of year. The paint could be original. Check the old brochures for a match. Good luck to you both!! Enjoy!!

I'm pretty sure he means Gen I as in 1972-79 cars.

Holmgren Subaru - "The General" Tom Holmgren is the guy I bought my first rig from. He or they , used the Sno-Way on his dealership lot for years mounted on an 80's 4wd. Nick from Motor Service in Hartford did the same. He wouldn't sell his fiberglass blade and had two set ups , the other a metal blade.

My experience here is next to nobody knows much about them. And there's plenty of folks who don't believe you can use one and not destroy your Subaru. But as we all can see they do exist and folks have used them.

I'm talking about close ups. Thanks

Could you please post pics of the rocker panels , etc. where the rot is ?

Can't help it .... Robust corn fed American beauties ...

See if Danny W - "drivesubies" has those rocker panels. There's plenty of parts out there for these cars but finding the cars is the hard part. Good luck with it. "Ctsuba" has lots of parts too if you can get him.

Just checked and I do have your number. Again, sorry to not PM but I can't seem to get that to work on here. No sweat on lodging. We're all booked until we leave on Monday. I'll try to convince my son to drive north. Unfortunately we are in a rental tiny Chevy thing , can't recall the name but it's funky and tiny. Tomorrow it's back to Wrigley. Cubs won a beauty of a game today. Wow for the Midwest and the number of top heavy blondes!!!! I'll send a text sometime tomorrow probably after the game. I had no idea Chicago was this cool. I wish we were here for the week. I'm pretty sure we will do this again next year too. Very glad the parts helped you out. Gives me that good feeling of helping a brother!! Talk to you soon! Cheers!!! .... We are at the Tilted Kilt now.... Yee Haa !!!!!

FYI I was unable to PM with my phone. Sorry about that, Miles.

I'm in the Windy City this weekend. Sunday is fairly open. Would be great to meet n greet the one and only Miles Fox and any of you fellow Subathusiast. If you guys were able and willing there is a cool elk preservation park here in Elk Grove just west of the city. There are at least two babies among the elk if you wanted to bring kids or women. We are staying right across the street at the Sheraton Or I might be able to drive up to 'waukee. Would be way cool if we could stay local as my son is a huge Chicago fan all around and it's our first time here with much to see in a short stay. Miles, I know you're busy and have a family so if it's any trouble don't sweat it. We'll be at Wrigley for today and tomorrow's games , both mid afternoon games. Cheers!

Thanks for the post. Curious topic for me too. Anybody want to buy one from me?

J will only be on One spoke

Look close at each spoke. You will see the "J" for Jackman. They came in boxes marked Jackman - Made for Subaru. I have those boxes. The more curved spokes are for later generations. The flat spokes are 75-79 and Gen I Brat.

If you don't mind , yes I'm interested. Thanks !

Exactly right! The ff-1 is a very unique vehicle up front. Built like a race car in regards to space. I'm at work and have to work a second gig today but yes please get in touch. I'm going to try to PM now but I'm on a phone. I doubt this one had the disks and twin carbs. I don't recall any being sold here set up so well. And I don't think Subaru established a supported race team here until the Star series of 72.

Those are Jackman wheels. Good luck with finding caps. They do show up but used and infrequently.

That rare and you'd not try to restore it with a 1300? My first reaction. Probably came with the 1100 . Did the old guy say anything about the two engines? Yeah , post pics. I was the first person looking for one many years ago. Jerry was going to hook me up with one but he had to dump it quick and must have thought I would take too long. There's at least three here in CT all either running or can be. I'd still be extremely interested and we have had cars brought here from the left coast before. Send PM if you want. Talk soon.

That was an issue and on many Subarus was NOT rectified despite a recall. We have at least one good post on this issue.

Oh sorry , my eyes missed that. That's typically what you find when these low mileage vintage beauties resurface.

Old lady automatic? Or was she way cool and dual ranged her way around??

Check that posted info please. We had no idea that PRP was stocking 100. This was a recent re-thinking by them. They told us they weren't going to stock much if any both times we ordered. Enjoy ! PRP has your front windshield gasket. See post 16 in the other windshield gasket post thread.

Bump I know I'll be down there for the motorcycle races at NJMP - Subaru's home track - in September but a trip in between would be great. As busy as I am I still want to make time for some trails.
