OK bought a 1983 Brat GL and will pick it up on Sunday, its not as clean as the others but for $900.00 its a steal! There is one on eBay right now that's a rust bucket that's at 2,500.00 already with a day left, figured that the 3k saved will go a long way towards the restoration, the passenger door has some bumps but there is no rust, needs a front bumper, the undercarriage is 95% rust free, it has the original 1.8 and 4 speed tranny that runs and shifts strong, factory 4wd hi/low not to mention some factory wheels that I have been told by members of USMB that are a rare find.
the only real rust problem but should be an easy fix
needs a front bumper
undercarriage is in great shape
Engine bay looks great
The interior is all there
Only 216k! Low miles for a subie!!

Well I'm a proud owner of 2 brats just picked up a clean 84 the seller contacted me after I had bought the 83, he asked if my offer was still good? Lol I said no "but" I would pay #$%&&. This has lots of factory options roll bar, brush guard, jump seats, flood lights and is rust free.
So here ya go
the first one will be going to my father.

I did not drive the new brat home! The seller failed to accurately describe the condition of it, he only sent me picks that did not show all the rust it had, in fact when I asked about rust he told me it had none! The bed was so bad he tried to cover it with herculiner. This is the CL ad
I have an amazing 1984 Subaru Brat for sale. I do not really need to sell it, just don't have much use for it any more. This is without a doubt one of the nicest brat still in existence! It runs amazing and has all of the classic accessories. It has the roll bar, bull bar, jump seats with seatbelts, flood lights, and removable t-tops. This car has been garage kept the entire time I have owned it and I have done very little work to it. It recently had the entire fuel system replaced and a new transmission put in. The car has about 190K miles on it but the dash reads over 300K because it was replaced by the previous owner who restores cars. I recently got an oil change and the mechanic said everything was in amazing condition for a 30 year old car. This is a great summer car but it also does awesome in the snow because it has 4wd both high and low gear.*
He was very upset even went as far as saying that we had a verbal agreement!
I even gave him 40.00 for meeting half way....
I wish people would accurately describe the condition of the vehicle they are selling, I always send pics of the problems and damage that a rig that I'm selling has to avoid this from happening.
Search goes on.....

Out of curiosity, how much and where in WA?
Ranchero
Wanderer
Unless it was swapped in, the trans it has is a FOUR speed dual range. Not 5-speed.
I love the old EA81 Subarus
Ive got a garage queen 1984 GL
Sitting on a 2 inch lift, with a built high compression ea81 and a 5-speed dual range swap.
When you get tired of having that in your garage please let me know!
