Pull in Save in Mead had a 76(I think) coupe sitting there. If anyone lives in the area and needs parts, go get 'em. 

I tried to buy it, as my 77 is rusting away, anything I put on it is doomed, I want a new shell.  Manager of the yard said regardless of condition, they wanted $800 - 1000 for what was left. Shame, as most the interior is useless, and someone broke the grille and took bumpers and some of the trim. not 1000 worth of parts left. But fenders or cut out panels could be useful to others? Maybe someone needs a shell and has that much to Shell out. Has an ea71 auto, engine long block looks intact. (As of the 15th).

Looking at the side trim, anyone know why this one has it below the 'dent' in the side? Mine runs inside it. Just a year difference or?

The door trim is probably a dealer-installed extra, so its location would be determined by whoever was doing the PDI.

That’s a Hardtop not a Coupe. 
 

She sits a bit rough. 
 

Guys like me have the parts you would want.  

Kind of crazy that subaru offered 3 different 2-door "coupe" style cars at the time.

There was the traditional "Fastback" looking Coupe...

The "HardTop" Coupe, which looked very similar to the fastback minus quarter windows...

And there was the "Two-Door-Sedan" to compliment the Four-Door Sedan...

 

The one posted in the JY above looks like the two-door-sedan...

someone took the windshield already...

I spy a Dent-Side Ferd P/U to the Left.

And a Square-Body Chev Bed to the Right...

Love the Grill on that '76, one of the more sporty looking Grills from that generation.

I could use the wiper assembly. 

Yeah looking closer appears to be sedan not hardtop.

I always get them confused. I have been um. . . 'spoken harshly' at more than once for forgetting which one I drive, haha.

If you are looking for a windshield, one of the major glass companies still makes them. My local shop has installed 2 of them for me, about $250 each. 

 

That junkyard always has some good stuff at it. That day they also had a 78ish Dodge Colt Coupe, and a late 60's Fiat 850.

...Oh man. Getting off topic here but I had a fling with three 850's for a time.

A '68 pre face-lift Coupe

A '68 pre face-lift Spider

And a '71 Sport Spider.

Man were they hawt to look at... but that is about all the time I had for them. The combination of Rust and lack of care in their previous life forced me to sell them all. The Coupe was the most painful for me to separate with.

Long story short, Subaru's are more rewarding to work on. And less rusty!

You got a new windshield installed for around $250 ? 
 

Twice ? 
 

That’s amazing. I mean they are an easy install but still for the glass , gasket , and labor that’s a deal and then some.

I wish mine was less rusty, haha. My X1/9 was immaculate, but the '77 Subaru is beyond repair. :/ i always wanted an 850. I still have a 5spd trans and 1800 racing engine from the x1/9 I wanted to put in one.

and Yeah, very fair price. That's just what they cost here. (I suspect it has gone up.slightly though) Glass place is down the street, small discount for veteran, but it was quoted $254 out the door. Just over $300 for the windshield glass install in my 57 chevy truck. Oddly enough all 3 times the hangup was getting the right dang trim/gasket thing. 57 was just out of stock everywhere.  Apparently several of the subarus use the same windshield, but where the gasket connects to the body is slightly different? Idk. Was weird, one is a channel, the other is a sort of flange thing. 

The PRP gasket no. WCR-288 is the one that fits 1972-79 cars Except Coupe. Also fits the Brat 1977-1981.

 

For the Coupe there is a different part number. And the upper ears are a bit taller. That given , you can stretch and I think a small relief cut in each ear and make the standard gasket work for those cars. 
 

Not sure what you’ve come across. There are newer alternatives so maybe you’re seeing something someone came up with.
