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.

Subaru WRX STI Type RA NBR Special is nearly as fast as a Porsche 918 Spyder at the Nurburgring

Fri, Jul 21 2017

Subaru now claims to have the fastest sedan to circle the Nurburgring. Its (deep breath) WRX STI Type RA NBR Special finished a lap of the famed German racetrack in an incredibly fast 6:57.5. That's just half a second behind the Porsche 918 Spyder hypercar. Of course, this WRX STI is a specially-built racecar, a rather distant cousin of the WRX STI Type RA production car that takes its name from this race car. The Type RA NBR Special is an upgraded version of the car Subaru took to the Isle of Man time trial last year, where it broke Subaru's old record. The car was built by Prodrive, and it features a 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four made for rally use. It now makes over 600 horsepower at 8,500 rpm, which is 50 more than it made last year. The aerodynamic aids have been updated, and they provide 650 pounds of downforce at the car's top speed. The car still has the power-adjustable rear wing from last year. At the press of a button, the driver can change the angle of the rear wing to reduce drag and increase speed on straights. Supporting the power and aerodynamic upgrades are 9-inch wide slick tires at each corner, and a rally-spec sequential transmission that can shift gears in 20 to 25 milliseconds. Related Video:

Subaru BRZ tS makes its brief video debut

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Ever since Subaru released the BRZ, fans have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the STI version. But despite the recent release of the tS package, the brand faithful will have to wait a little longer, because the tS stops short of the full STI treatment. But at least it looks the part.
Though the BRZ tS doesn't encompass any major engine mods to speak of, it does benefit from a number of enhancements: a new driveshaft, aero kit, Brembo brakes, Recaro buckets and more. Which may be more than enough for some, but to tip the scales of disappointment, Subaru will only make 500 such examples, and they'll only be available in Japan. So chances are you won't be getting your hands on one, but at least you can admire it from this brief video clip below. It's not much to go on, but that seems about par for the proverbial course.

Subaru facing class-action suit over excess oil use

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

A recently filed lawsuit in federal court against Subaru of America and its parent Fuji Heavy Industries claims that several recent models burn an excessive amount of oil. The case, which is seeking class-action status, covers examples of the 2011-2014 Forester, 2013 Legacy and 2013 Outback with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and the 2012-2013 Impreza and 2013 XV Crosstrek with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
The suit alleges that Subaru knew about the excessive oil consumption but didn't fix the problem, according to USA Today. It contends that owners have to spend an unreasonable amount of money to keep these models topped up with Texas tea, and that the people represented wouldn't have bought the vehicle if they had known that this could happen.
As proof of Subaru's knowledge of excessive oil use, the lawsuit cites four technical service bulletins from the company telling dealers about the issue, although, that would seem to partially invalidate the claim that the automaker hasn't attempted to fix things. The case was filed on behalf of two men, one with a 2014 Forester and the other with a 2013 Outback. "Following an extensive investigation, we now look forward to litigating the case," said Matthew Schelkopf, an attorney for the plaintiffs, to USA Today.
