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.

2015 Subaru WRX STI photos hit the web early

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Wing? Check. WR Blue? Yep. Gold wheels? Aw, yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the 2015 Subaru WRX STI, which has leaked out ahead of its Detroit Auto Show debut, courtesy of Mexican website Terra Autos.
We don't have any firm details to go on, but as we reported earlier, the STI is expected to use a turbocharged, 2.5-liter boxer four producing something like 300 to 305 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. (Note: The standard WRX uses a new, Forester-derived 2.0-liter engine.) Expect the usual host of STI fitments, including a more performance-oriented suspension tune and upgraded brakes, but don't expect a five-door variant - like the WRX, the STI will be a sedan-only affair.
Check out the leaked shots of the new STI in the gallery above, and stay tuned for all of the official details next week.

Watch Subaru WRX STI's ripping record run at Nurburgring

Fri, Sep 15 2017

As expected, Subaru had a bunch of cameras rolling when they gunned for a Nurburgring lap record attempt. The car they used was a specially honed (deep breath) WRX STI Type RA NBR Special, and it proved to be good for a 6:58.9 lap around the Nordschleife, in the hands of Richie Stanaway. Now, video material of the sedan car record run has been posted on Subaru's social media pages, and it includes a separate "Behind the Scenes" video. The record car was built by Prodrive, and it consists of a 2017 WRX STI with a full roll cage, fitted with a WRC specification two-liter turbo engine that produces more than 600 horsepower thanks to its 75mm intake and 25 psi of boost. The transmission is also a WRC item, and its hydraulic paddle-shift setup together with an automated clutch enables shift times of 20-25 milliseconds. The track time is quicker than a recent privateer attempt using a 2017 Dodge Viper ACR, which squeezed the time down to 7:01,3 until a tire failure caused it to crash. Of course, the Viper was classified as a production vehicle, unlike the Subaru. Here's the Behind the Scenes footage: This content is hosted by a third party.

Subaru VIziv GT joins the Gran Turismo Vision clique

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

The next vehicle in the Vision Gran Turismo series has poked its nose out as part of a new teaser video and it comes from all-wheel-drive specialists Subaru.
Based on the Viziv Concept, the Viziv GT Vision Gran Turismo gets the same sort of racy treatment that we've seen on the other VGT cars, with big wheels and aggressive body work. The hood is vented and there's a whopper of a rear spoiler in place, based on what we can see in the video. We aren't sure what changes there are to the concept's diesel-hybrid powerplant, although we're sure all the details will leak out eventually.
Until then, take a look at the teaser video and let us know what you think by posting down in Comments.
