Stonefish

I think we'll hang on to it for a little bit.

thanks...the car is a blast and is rich with history!

There is a thread in the vintage portion of this site...not sure if it is ok to post this here as well?? Not very often a Subaru gets some love from Hemmings Motor News. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2012/11/01/wrxs-grandpa-meet-superoo-americas-first-factory-backed-subaru-race-car/?refer=news

wow...good luck with that! Gotta stay in touch...

Hey Subaru360! I had tried to get a hold of you sometime ago...I JUST saw your 360 on Craig's list! Are you moving far? The car does handle quite nice...and is quite peppy!

HI Folks....it has been a while since I visited. I lost contact with Subaru360 (Tom), not sure if he still visits here or not. I still have the Superoo. It ran the 2009 Fall Weatherly hill climb. It has some fuel pump issues but did lay down an official time. I was busy with a move to a new house and things got a little sidetracked. The car was recently certified by the AACA (antique automobile club of America) and will be shown at the 2012 National Fall meet in Hershey in October.

well...I posted one pix on the photo pages...took forever! I think the one that got on was a shot of the blower...I'm going to burn the other shots to disc and take them to work...I have Skip's email...if anyone wants some shots email me at Rmann@hersheys.com

I'll go out again today and see what more I can find on the engine. Like I said before, I know nothing of Subaru...to me there looks like there was some mods done mounting the motor. Who can host the pixs?

Well here is the latest from the garage. Looks like the motor block number is 736434...mean anything to anyone? the blower also has an upsidedown triangle with an H in it....again means nothing to me...any clues? the hood is steel I'll have to take a better look on how they did the flares...I took quite a few pixs...I'll see if I can download them. to the person that is an hour away...sure, send me an email at Rmann@hersheys.com and we can set it up. The car is headed back up north next Saturday.

Ok...I got out to the car today and got a good look....the tranny is indeed a VW type 1 tranny (113301103) an IRS flipped backwards...which means the pattern I was told is most likely incorrect. The serial number on the body of the car is A23L700787...which makes it a...??? has a Neal hydraulic cluth set up... strange beast...they made mods to the tranny to fit, that is for sure! Ron

HI guys...thanks for all the scoop and the welcome to the board. I promise to take more pixs of the car...probably this weekend I'll get out there!! I'm giving the car to my older brother to fix up and race, so it won't be here much longer. We are guessing that the car may produce close to 200hp!?? He's getting the car on the condition that he does not alter it's current look...not sure if you can tell but there is a hot rod Kangaroo graphic on either side and the rear deck...hence the Superooo. Kinda cool! I would love to keep the car myself but should keep my focus on my VW's...sorry. I run a 1965 Type 3 Notchback and the front beam needs attention.

HI folks...I am the new owner of this car and I'm looking for help. I am a VW guy...the only reason I bought this car was the fact it used to run on the same racing circuit as I currently run. The car was last run on the Pensylvannia Hill Climb Circuit circa 1987 - 1988 (PHA) http://www.pahillclimb.org. Hill climbing in PA has been going on since 1906. Hill climbs are timed races on closed roads...you vs. the other cars in your class. I'm currently writing a book on the history and when I saw this car on Ebay...placed a real low ball bid...now I have it. What to do with it, is the next question. It is rumored that this car came from Japan as a prepared race car, but no where built to what it is now. I have not spend much time with the car since I brought it home last Saturday...I've been sick and it has been too cold. We did fire it up...and what a beast! Besides the coolant leaks...everything else seems good except the tranny. We could only get 1st and reverse...but it appears the pattern is reversed: with 1st in the upper right, 2nd down, and 3rd upper left shifting towards you, instead of away from you...could this car originally been right hand drive??? I have no idea what year it is...what exact model it is. feel free to contact me at UD1327@msn.com...put Subaru in the title the car is now in Hershey PA...If I can get her moving by the first weekend of May it will race at the Hershey Vintage Hill Climb...an event sponsored by Subaru!
