Meet Stanley the wonder Van

Featured Replies

The Big Subaru Van came from the Subaru-GM Era, so No... No Flat engine There, but also the Beautiful Stanley Does not have a Flat engine 'cos only has Two Cyl... Unless you want to see that Two Cyl. engine as a "Half Flat 4 Engine" :D

Kind Regards.

  • yep... he's a 1970   In pretty good shape, the paint is... bleh.... :-\ but it looks nice in the photos      

  • Really to each their own right? I'm a purist. I won't modify this car too much at all. Others mod the crap out of them, engine, body and more.   Me? I may or may not re-engineer the original spl

Good we need more old schoolers there :grin:

 

All the Imprezas look the same to me :rolleyes:

Jealousy cannot describe my feelings.

I love those old 360 Vans.

So spacious and roomy, esp for such a tiny car!

I hope to find one that isn't such great shape and make it a rear engined AWD

van :D

 

I love the shade of read and the chrome roof rack just sets it off perfectly.

Enjoy your little treasure :)

I just have to wonder, what kind of gas mileage do you get?

 

Stanley certainly does not get what Subaru advertised (66mpg) back in the day :)

 

I haven't driven him enough to figure out exact and precise figures

But the average appears to be 40-45 mpg

 

He's not a freeway van though, so this is all side roads.

 

Still - that average doubles any other Subaru I own :rolleyes:

I have been showing off this thread and your van to all of my friends.

I love that van.

I call next place in line if you ever get rid of him.

And yes, he will stay "Stanley The Wonder Van" if I ever get my paws on him :)

Hey thanks!

 

Stanley and I have bonded pretty hard though

I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon

 

I'm kind of in love :banana:

 

 

If you're after a van, or truck, or sedan, I can help you find one tho :)

 

Pm me if you're ready to look/hunt/buy.....

Not ready yet, still looking for work.

But I will let you know when I'm ready to.

I want a 360, but not a micro car :)

That's very cool! It's amazing how few vintage Subarus survived... I know you keep saying the paint isn't as nice in person, but I'll bet that doesn't stop you from grinning as you start him up and drive around. :3 Modifying my cars is always a daunting task, as I'm very picky and I have to say I love where you're going with it! Looks great!

Pleased to meet you, Mr Stanley. I really enjoyed your work in KISS (at least up to the baroque years of ALIVE II).

 

Nice pics too. I like the wide angles in the rain forest.

 

To your continued good health, Sir! Cheers! :drunk:

thanks so much!

 

and yes, I've yet to meet anyone who does not grin ear to ear while around Stanley...

 

he has that kind of effect on you :banana:

And that's the exact reason, I miss my old subarus the most, sure... they break and sometimes need a tow home, but they're fun cars! Wish my 89 was THIS cool, but that's why I'm really looking into the 75' Leone...

I bet Stanley's faster downhill (with a tailwind and the impreza's e brake stuck and engine off :lol: )

 

Still loving your little dude :)

When are you going to bring him over the pass?

We wanna see him over here on the east side of the state too! :D

And I know a couple of places that would be stoked to have another tiny Suby be in attendance.

Best car I've ever owned.

Everywhere we go, people just SMILE :lol:

There is not enough smiling in this world, happy to share him with everyone.

 

We are off to Oregon for a car show June 10-12th

We will be at the Big NW Subaru meet (at DirtFish 7/9/2011)

And may hit a few shows here in the Seattle region/area as well

 

Not thought about going to the East side?

 

If you know of a good event - pm me the details!

Very Kindly, Could I Ask you Why you Removed All the Stanley's Pictures? :confused:

 

They probably weren't removed, they just died from age. :/
