1969 Subaru 360 van.....project.  This thing is like a miniature VW bus!  Super cool & rare to see!  Hard to find & this one is rust free in the important spots!  I have been a unique car enthusiast for 30+ years & this was the first Subaru Bus I had seen when I spotted it an a barn of a house I was looking to buy.  I had to have the Subaru, so i worked it in on the house deal.  The previous owner says that he bought the bus in Washington state in 1987.  He put new tires on it & drove it a few times & then parked it in the barn where it has been setting since 1987.  Still has the 1987 MO tags on it.  I have not done anything to the bus other than put air in the tires & push it out of the barn.  Still is dust covered & has some remnants of animals being in it.  The bus has spent the last 27 years in a dry barn! 

Does not run or drive.  You CANNOT fly in & drive this back to socal!  It does roll, barely.  It has the 360cc 2-stroke engine with manual trans.  I have checked that the engine is not locked up.   The left rear wheel trys to lock up while rolling, figure it is a brake shoe dragging.  All parts are intact & all of the glass looks good.  Looks like the bus was originally white & or red & looks like the seats have been recovered.  The best part about this bus is that it is virtually rust free.  The only spot of rust is in the left quarter panel around the air intake ? area.  It appears there was moisture being held in that area becasue I cant find another spot of rust anywhere on the bus top or bottom.  It looks that there was some minor body damage on the r. front into the door area that was somewhat repaired at one time.  The L.qtr. around the rust area also has a dent.  Overall a very straight & solid bus.  I just dont have the time for it, have to many projects. 

Do some google searching & you will see some of the cool things that can be done with these, the sky is the limit for mods, or everything is here to restore original.  Please ask questions & I have many more pictures.  If you are a 360 bus expert & know of secret hiding spots for rust let me know & I will look & take pictures.

Clear title in my name.  The Subaru is located in Springfield, MO, about 3 hours SW of St. Louis & 2.5 hrs NE of Tulsa.  Buyer needs to have a $500 deposit within 48 hours.  Payments accepted are wire transfer or cash in person.  NO Paypal, checks or credit cards.  Payment must be made within 7 days after listing ends.  I will help with loading of the car on transport but it does not run/drive.

Toyota 86 most likely to get more power through more displacement? [w/poll]

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

The Sydney Morning Herald has spoken to Tetsuya Tada, chief engineer of the Toyota 86 (our version of it, the Scion FR-S, is pictured above), and they've been promised that more power is on the way. We've heard a lot of speculation about a more powerful Toyobaru since before the standard model was even launched. The only question now is how the power will be delivered, and among the engine concepts we've already heard about - turbo, supercharger, twin-charged, hybrid - is a new one: more displacement.
Tada said that an engine with more displacement than the current coupe's 2.0 liters is being tested alongside a turbocharged and a hybrid-assisted motor. The SMH cites "inside sources" as saying the displacement option is the one likely to get the go-ahead, and suggests increased bore and stroke will see the engine grow to 2.5 liters, horsepower to about 250 - a 50-hp increase over the present car.
While that's apparently the betting man's solution for the long-awaited increase in gumption, what happens with the next generation could be more wide open than we suspected. According to the report, Tada "hinted that [a successor] could be a radically different car, potentially dropping the boxer engine altogether." He said once they've sorted out the concept for the second generation car, then they'll sort out an engine. That's where a turbo option could come to market, perhaps the turbocharged four-cylinder Toyota is developing for the Lexus NX crossover or a hybrid system that uses a capacitor.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
