May 15, 200421 yr i found a 1974 4 door sedan down in a hole in an old lady's yard, but she dissappeared by the time i got back to her house from the car. so i'm gonna hafta go back next week to see what she wants for it. here is one pic -mike
May 15, 200421 yr Thats totally funny looking! I think you should go for it if the price is right. It's almost a collectors item by now!
May 15, 200421 yr Paul...whose wagon is that??? Yes , get that car! (Did you get my phone message?) Todd
May 16, 200421 yr Yes Todd,I got it. Yeah,who's wagon is that?I'd rather have that but the 4door would work for say $100 or less.
May 16, 200421 yr Skunk: You might be surprised how easy it would be to get that thing running good again. The old school Japanese stuff made a lot of backyard mechanic types look like geniouses. Tune up stuff should be easy to come by. The more major parts might be a little more difficult to find depending on where you are located. I would get a fix on the car before trying to buy it. If its in original condition this is ideal. Just go thru one system at a time. If someone f*cked with it, you may have to backtrack a bit. It depends on your abilities and diligence. If you have both-go for it. good luck, John
May 16, 200421 yr Author everything on the car seemed to be original, and i think there was only one little dent(somewhere), and a crack in one tail lense:( oh, thats my red wagon:D -mike http://usmb.net/gallery/album250
May 16, 200421 yr I'll betcha that car would clean up very nicely, and drive ok once you got the cobwebs out. The carb will probably be your biggest obstacle in getting it to run reliably again. I'd snag it for any kind of decent price. If the car doesn't work out, you would probably have a long line of derelicts who would be interested in the parts. good luck, John
May 17, 200421 yr Its not a questions of, if you should pick it up or not. Seems as though price is the only real question? Buy that Subaru! Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
May 17, 200421 yr Brakes and fuel problems would be the hurdles on that, just depends on how long its been sitting and whether or not they stored it properly. (doesnt look like it).
May 17, 200421 yr dude nice find!!!! Thats a pretty nice lookin sedan. Sheesh I wish I could find those up this direction:) Oh and is that a Datsun 510 sedan next to it???? Oooo I might be interested in that if its the 510 sedan.........
May 18, 200421 yr yeha buy it and skunk looks like your missing the rear 4wd emblem are you also missing the front one too? and are you going to be at wcss6 with it? if you are I might be thinkin about bringing my 76 also then
May 18, 200421 yr Author caboob, it's a 510 wagon, i think i have some pics if you like. baja, i have my grill emblem, but no rear (alltho i have a metal 4wd tag form a gen1 brat), and i will be at wcss6, and likely so will my car. it will be RAD! -mike
May 18, 200421 yr Author oh, i met a guy with gen1 mudflaps(2) that i will prolly get along with some other stuff, in trade for bicycle parts, so we'll see whats in this "good sized" box later this week(taillights, dash stuff, other random gen1 parts). mmmmm stuff:D -mike
May 18, 200421 yr yeah I would be saying the same thing man we should start puttin out feelers for parts for our gen 1-stage 1's especialy since it looks like there are at least 3 of us here in Oregon that have one 4wd wagon each (saw soobme's site and saw a 75-76 wagon in the background )
May 18, 200421 yr Author the pic on tony's home page? thats brian's '78(thesubarujunkie). i gave the guy(wes) the address to the board so maybe he'll join up soon. -mike
