Subie Survivor! 1984 Subaru GL Wagon
Subarus have a well-earned reputation for reliability and long lives, and this 1984 GL wagon is no exception. Despite being 37 years old this hardy wagon is still ready for more–so much so that the seller has decided not… more»
Seldom Seen Microvan: 1969 Subaru Sambar
UPDATE 4/11/21: Several of our readers have indicated these were sold in the U.S. as the Subaru 360. Sorry for any confusion. The Sambar was a microvan that Subaru first launched in 1961 and would build for another 50… more»

Silent Subaru: 1977 Jet Industries Electra-Van 500
I’m not sure which part of this 1977 Jet Industries Electra-Van 500 EV is more interesting, the tiny Subaru microvan part or the Texas-based conversion part. When you combine both of them they make for what I think is… more»
Nicest One Left? 1996 Subaru SVX
The Subaru SVX has long been considered ripe for becoming a collector car, namely for its exotic credentials and rarity in anything approaching concours-grade condition. These were not easy cars to maintain, by the standards of most Subaru owners… more»

We have seen quite a few Subaru BRATs (Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter) over the years here on Barn Finds but a few of them have been in somewhat rugged condition. That doesn’t seem to be the case with this… more»
Nicest One Left? 1980 Subaru 1600 DL 4×4
