Item............................... 1976 2wd wagon
Description......................
In the interest of fairness, I am posting here as I have in the FB page. I'll try to get some photos up here, which isn't always easy. My ausubaru FB post now has all the pics currently available. I'd like to see this go to someone in the Suby community as a project or in support of a project, not being scrapped or parted out in the local wreckers.
Below is as posted on FB:
It is much better than I was lead to believe. It has some of the usual rust, and an interesting home spun maintenance history by the one owner from new, so don't expect everything to be as built. His ingenuity is seriously impressive. It has only just come off the road before Christmas (although is not really roadworthy in its current state), after towing a boat to Morgan and back. It is a late 76 car (so 77 spec), has had an engine and gearbox replacement in the past, with a more recent EA71. Historians will know about small end bearing issues in the early engines apparently. Engine and gearbox are very nice, the car drives beautifully despite a blown tie rod end making it wander. The original box is included. I am now the owner, but I'm out to help get a good price for the old guy, not make a profit myself. Offers and discussions via FB messenger, forum PM here, or email [email protected]
Condition........................... Great for its age, and 380xxx kms of conquering the world. Does have an interesting mix of home spun maintenance and mods. My grandpa would be proud.....
Location ..........................Adelaide SA
Price................................reasonable offers considered
Contact ............................ via PM here, Messenger via the FB page, or [email protected]
I am open to conversation of what a reasonable price may be, and offers. I nominally own the car, but DO NOT have a financial interest in the outcome. I'm doing a favour for an old fella who could do with the funds, so don't bust my arse about not declaring an asking value, and ignoring low ball offers.

Tell him not to spend it all in advance ! It is in need of a good soda blast to gently separate the paint from the rust and remaining Japanese steel. I bet it has that smell of rust from ten feet ?
