XSNRG Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I saw this the other day and stopped to take pics and talk to the owner. It's a '83 Black Diamond. On the front fenders it reads 5/100 and Black Diamond on the doors. It has unique alloys, a front grille guard, power windows, cruise, A/C, Etc. The owner said she bought it from the original owner with 30k miles on it a few years ago for $2,500 in Colorado. She claimed the owners son was on the US Ski Team and Subaru gave him this car, reportedly #5 of 100 made. It's not turbocharged. Anybody know anything about these?http://groups.msn.com/USMB/83blackdiamond1of100.msnw?albumlist=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Is there anyway you could post pics in the USMB photo gallery. This way everyone doesnt need to get a user name and password to see pics on MSN. Subaru Bob had a Black Diamond, I cant remember what # it was. I think he got it from Chef Tim, but that was a couple years ago, and I'm not sure if he still has it. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Everyone should be able to see them now. I had the settings screwed up. That black diamond looks sweet. Only the 2nd one i know about, and have seen. Chef Tim had a Black DIamond that was bought by Subaru Bob. I think that was 10/100... cant remember. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSNRG Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 Rob, let me know if you can't get them after Junkie (Thanks) made the changes, I can mail them. It's a cool car, would like to hear from Chef Tim and Subaru Bob on any info they might have about the history of these cars. Bob, you still have it?

Turbone Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 That is a nice one. The one that SB has, was in decay from rust. I hope you got her #? Need to keep track of that Soob. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XSNRG Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 What kind of wheels are those? They look different from the other EA81 4 spokes I've seen. Did yours have the grille guard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JParuBob Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 it had regular 8 spoke wagon wheels. It had a brush guard at one time or another, but it was long gone. mounts looked busted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenes Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 So how much do these things go for? I happen to know someone who has one of these in grand junction Co. In fact, the owner is my step-dads father. Not sure if he is lookin to get rid of it, but it's probably not in the best of shape, but thought I should metion it anyway. kevlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I had THOUGHT the old black diamond floating around was #27. For some reason I swear it was a 2dr coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Sorry I'm late, had to find out about this from mnsubaru.com:lol: . The one I sold to Bob was #93 if I remember correctly. All they were was a dealer kit with graphics and a few cosmetic dress up things. Still a nice car. Nice to see you still around Jamie, how's life treating you??? Have a good one, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Tim, check the date on his post. He's still around, I see him on MSN occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 What kind of wheels are those? They look different from the other EA81 4 spokes I've seen. Did yours have the grille guard? Those are the 82 four spoke LX wheels. They carried them over into the 83 model year. If you look at the old dealer booklets you can see them on 82 and 83 subys. The other 4 spokes you're thinking of are the 84 four spoke alloys. I found a set of the 82's for my car last year but ive never seen another set until now.
