stewartkb Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I am not sure of the year, but I can pick this up for 500$. It runs and drives, that's all I know. It's an 8 hour drive one way, with the truck and trailer that's 200-300$ in gas. Worth it? Opinions? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86BRATMAN Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 definitely deserves to be saved, so many of these deals I see go by on the wrong coast for me to be able to take advantage of them. Maybe next year when I get my two weeks of vacation time I can do something about one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 exactly like my dads 79 dl and looks simular to my dads 78 but its a white gl. could be anywhere from a 77(earliest) to about 80. unless it has a 1800cc in there with a dual range which would make it the rare 81 brat. looks fair for how old these are getting im going to say it would be whorth it since people will pay about $300 for that roll bar, $250 for rear seats(cannt tell if it has them in the pics), plus if you parted the rest out you could make quite a little money on it or scrap it for roughly $200. i would definently replace the hood, try to pound those dents out and bondo them, then get a paint job, fix all the problems then enjoy it for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 actually it would be the most rare if it was a 77, the brat model wasn't put into production until 78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartkb Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thanks for the clarification on the year range. I'm not too familiar with the Gen 1's. I'll see if I can get up there by Monday to get it. Hopefully it doesn't sell by then, but if it does, hope it goes to good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 actually it would be the most rare if it was a 77, the brat model wasn't put into production until 78. i've seen them on craigslist but probably typos but maybe not because i dont think people would renew there craigslist post for a month with the wrong year in the title. i think there probably is a few 77's in a musuem, someones driveway, but most of them where probably tested for safty because they where proto-types then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 possible they were 77s overseas, as they don't follow the same rules for model years as the states in the older days, my dad bought the 3rd Brat sold in southwest VA in late 77 and it was titled a 78. I work at a Ford dealership and we started getting '13s back in August. Been this way for years, like the legacy overseas was started as an 89 model.

turbosubarubrat Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 i always hate it when they do that my 85 is titled as a 86 from that. i do not get why they are already selling 2014 cars because its physically impossible because they are maybe in 2013 hope you get the brat its definately worth it in the long run.

Leeroy Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Worth it? Yes! There can never be enough 1970s Subarus saved... Looks like a later 1970s Brat/Brumby as the trim around the front indicators is silver and the door mirror is the later type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hopefully it's not too rusty! Good luck with grabbing that lil brat! That thing is nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartkb Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'll start a thread for it when I get it - I ended up talking to the guy today, it's indeed a 79. He said minimal rust, but we'll see. I got the truck & trailer all geared up ready to leave on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
