Old School.... Really Old School Subaru

[phoonTy]

I was killing some time at work this morning, waiting for our ridiculously slow computer system and came across this at Cars.com:

Old Subaru 360? (http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp;?tracktype=usedcc&searchType=21&pageNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNumResultsPerPage=0&sortorder=descending&sortfield=PRICE+descending&certifiedOnly=false&criteria=K-%7CE-%7CM-_45_%7CB-5000%7CN-N%7CR-250%7CI-1%7CP-PRICE+descending%7CQ-descending%7CZ-80634&aff=national&paId=230034166&recnum=3&leadExists=true)

They don't even list the date! But the funniest thing is the black and white ad - "A Whopping 36 hp!"

Needs a turbo or something... make it a real sleeper! :lol:

Wouldn't one R1 engine be an upgrade? :lol: Maybe just one Turbo Hyabusa engine?

It looks to be in really good shape. If you could get maybe 150~160 hp in that thing, it's be an awesome around town commuter. :lol:

Ew.

why screw with it.

it's a classic. first car subaru brought into the US.

An R1 only has around 160hp give or take a few ponies. How much does this thing weigh?

This car is immaculate. I talked to the owner (he owns shortline subaru in denver). The car is kept at the dealership all the time and never driven. But he says it fires right up and drives super smooth. It is damn sexy.

66 mpg would be awesome! Sadly, I wouldn't trust the other drivers on the road. One of those around here would just be a rolling death trap, waiting for a truck to squash it for the recycling bin. :lol:

Pretty neat little car though.

The local Subaru rep had one for awhile (may still have it too) - tiny little thing. I sat in it and it was quite a squeeze for my 6 foot 250 pound frame.
