Rarest Old-School Subaru Part or Option?

Featured Replies

Could I Ask, What is the Rarest Old-School Subaru Part or Option you've Seen?

 

I Just Found on-line a Nice Hardtop Coupe for Sale in Boston, with Low Mileage and it had some sort of Protective Cover around the Distribuitor, that I've never seen Before.

 

See, its an EA81:

my first car was a 81 GLF fwd 5sp, factory dual exhaust, factory magnesium wheels. 1800 cc. i still need a center cap replaced

 

RV

Heres a few Ive heard of or know of.

 

1400 rear disk brakes.

 

Omega electronic disty. On my old car. Was a 1989 or 91? and EA71. I could not seem to find the correct cap for it. Tryed every where.

In the end had to convert it to points since it was so oddball.

 

Hydraulic suspension. Cant exactly remember if it was on leone or omega shape wagon. I got to talk to the guy that had it.

Loyale - that's just a shield found in most cold weather Subarus from '79 - '84 + here in the States.

 

I actually have NEW from the 70's "Cold Weather Kit" which has that shield in it among other items so carbs/intake perform better when the tempature goes to freezing.

 

Probably very rare down your way. Was that a car from a cold weather region? Also used to keep water off the disty all around.

 

Rares options ? hmmm ..... wood steering wheel from the early 70's?

its a splash shield for the distributor and carb.

I have/had one on mine, last i checked but it might have fallen out.

I have three or four of those distributor splash guards in my shed - both for EA81 and EA82 applications. I usually toss them off when I install a Weber. A rubber glove and vaseline works well to seal the distributor. That's my version anyway.

Back when i was just a wee mechanic I saw a few of those, but I think they got trashed after time like most covers.

These wheels. I have only seen a couple of other sets. Love them on both my Brat and Wagon

Hmmm rare stuff.

 

- Rear window louvers (any model)

- Brat HARD bed cover (seen ONE in my life in person)

- The red GL/GL-10??? 85-86 or so model year "pimp" interior. (black interior, but red fabric on seats and door trim)

- The 4 hole sport mag wheels. (seen afew sets, but they are still rare)

Diamond Edition?

 

Was that really real? Because the only one I saw was riced OUT

Diamond Edition?

I saw one one ebay a couple of years ago that was perfect. It was indeed real! They also had this in Europe The "Country Living Edition" This is number 78/100 ever made!

HA ha ha.... thats sweet.. a woodgrain EA82 dash.

 

Speaking of which...

 

I saw a Woodgrain (exterior) EA82 wagon once in a junkyard. Just woodgrain shelf paper possibly but it WAS done really well, so may have been an option from an individual dealer or something....

I had an 83 parts Brat that had one of those covers on it. Everyone always seem to lose them or like mentioned, they broke.

Wagon/hatch wind deflectors

Extruded aluminum EA81 wagon trailer-hitch-equipped rear bumper

Headlight washers - From Oz/NZ

Factory installed EA81 sunroof

I'll think up some more eventually...

 

Oh yeah, a key to lock the glovebox on an EA81... Got mine!

Edited by carfreak85

No way, I have a factory installed sunroof! What do I win?

 

A leak?

ha ha, No not that bad. But it doesnt want to close unless I push on the top, I need to find new clips. Oh I guess I should get it running first.

How about the in glove box mounted mirror?

 

That's factory!? My 82 wagon has one of those, I thought it was just something somebody stuck on there!

No way, I have a factory installed sunroof! What do I win?

 

*Fixed* I meant EA81. Tons of EA82s came with the line-installed sunroof. On the EA81, it seems like the line-installed sunroofs are much harder to find versus dealer-installed units.
