There's a guy named Maury in WC who has 5 Brats at his house and 2 more elsewhere for a total of 7. I am buying a blue 79 from him tomorrow for $500 (wooooooooo!) He has one 81 with d/r that needs an engine. He has tons and tons of parts, a set of jump seats, wheels and engine parts. Said he'll sell all 7 for $2500. He's got a real nice black one too that he is doing a full resto on. I said I'd send people his way, so here's the number: 541 890 6164

Hmm.....pics would be good!

yea, this thread needs to be decorated with some pics:cool:

I will definately bring a camera tomorrow

Ugh! I forgot the camera. Guess what he has? Gen-1 Brat tail light lenses. Brand new, in box. He bought every one the dealer had and wants $50 each though. I need to go back with the camera, probably tomorrow, sorry.

Here is the 81 he wants to restore, there's a FWD carb EA81 wagon next to it

I think this one's an 80, the dash is pretty good

I think this one's a 79 if IIRC

No idea what year this one is the tag is missing. Guy was trying to tell me that single headlight models were made for Australia and brought over by servicemen. Uh... if that were true it would say Brumby and be RHD, no?

It got t boned unfortunately

This one looks like it could be brought back - I thought it was an 81 w/EA81 because of the air cleaner but couldn't see the block stamp, and I found a registration that says it's a 78. It has the fancy "SUBARU" and FOUR WHEEL DRIVE" decals on it, but they are a little smashed from a minor accident.

 

If you need any parts or wanna buy a whole car, he has paperwork for most of them and I'm sure he's got almost every part needed to make a whole Brat. I forgot to take pictures of wheels! But he has tons, mostly white 8 spokes and a few fancy ones.

Could you get a factory sunroof on a gen 1 brat? That second brat and last brat have them so i was just wondering.

I didn't even notice the one on the blue one, the one on the cream Brat looks like a DIY job though.

yeah he's full of crap. that single headlight one is just an old DL U.S. spec

 

if that tan one was here, i`d try saving it....

He also said 1800s with carbs were hard to find, and that most of them were double overhead cam. I was like WTF are you talking about. He was either just grossly misinformed or just a newb (started buying a year and a half ago)

probly just grossly misinformed

 

he's a junk collector thats for sure:-p

LOL.. I'll be conducting :"Introduction to Subaru 101" soon. Tell him to enroll.

I represent that remark

omg tell him i want those white spoke rims and if the seats arent ripped up i will take them as well as the drivers side window! and tell him to pull the carb off of one of them if it is in good condition

SPEAKING TO HIM NOW, ILL GET A SET OF SPOKE RIMS FOR 10 BUCKS A PIECE PLUS SHIPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
