November 8, 200322 yr Author the only one not headed for a junkyard will be the 73. the others had lots of issues... another guy bought the others. maybe a third guy got one...
November 9, 200322 yr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOLY TOLEDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just saw this post..........Mick!!!!!!!!!! Talk to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a little excited............aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 9, 200322 yr DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So what was the story??? Why so many early 70's car's... just parked and forgotten about? -Brian
November 9, 200322 yr Author was an old guy that lived alone there... I'm guessing he drove them at some point. his place was fairly wooded, so he just parked them. 4 of the soobs were under a home built carport, the others were out. house was really ratty. would need to be burned down and dozed... would have been nice to have the 4+ acres though....
November 9, 200322 yr Again----did any of the Soobs sell??? Are any still available? Paul--road trip?? If they're still there I want the yellow wagon, the green wagon and a coupe. Why not live a little before Mom & Dad kill me? I wish I lived closer.
November 9, 200322 yr Paul, Brian, according to my FSM the '73 wagons were all split-gate. Looks like the Holy Grail of the FSCR is in Iowa. Let me clarify my earler post: Are the other Subarus still available, not the other old cars.
November 9, 200322 yr Author all the soobs were sold. initial inspection by me deemed them all crusher material. the newest one (78 wagon) had a hole the size of a floormat in the passenger side front floor, etc.... most had the normal fender rot.... and rocker rot... then I spied the tailgate! :clap: My son wanted me to get the coupe, but the floor in it were way too bad... I got thetailgate one though because it was in the best shape of them, and had an awesome basket roof rack on it. I also go the alloys that were there. one other guy (maybe 2) bought up the rest of the soobs. if they (soobs) would have been in better shape, I would have gotten them all, and tried to find a place to store them, but they were too far gone. I hope to have the 73 home in the next few days to get a better look at it...
November 9, 200322 yr You know I'd love that wagon Mick....talk to me bud!!!! I'll work out a roadtrip,somehow.As long as it isn't falling apart I don't care about holes.THe thing will be for fun and will never be a true resto...but who cares? It looks decent enough for a base.
November 10, 200322 yr If you need a place to store it til you get a house... =) Too bad about the other ones. Did you get the phone numbers of the other guys?
November 10, 200322 yr looking like no road trip Andrew....:boohoo: Mick reports vehicle as too rotted.I'd still like to sawzall the rear for the hatch/drop gate.Mick says the gate is rotted though.Looked good enough in the picture for refurb but pics don't always show all the detail.
