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.

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.

A closer look at the 2015 Subaru WRX

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

For enthusiasts, the debut of the 2015 Subaru WRX was arguably one of the more important happenings at last week's LA Auto Show. After all, the 'Rex has been one of our perennial favorite all-weather sports cars, able to offer big thrills in any clime thanks to its turbocharged engine, manual gearbox and top-notch all-wheel-drive system.
For 2015, some big changes have been made to our favorite Subie, including the removal of the hatchback body style and availability of a continuously variable transmission. Of course, there's also the new, 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, not to mention the completely revised styling.
Lots of talking points, for sure, so West Coast Editor Michael Harley chatted with Dominick Infante, national manager of product communications for Subaru USA, who promises us that this car will be the "best-handling WRX ever." As for that CVT, Infante assures us that it was "designed for a sports car" and that the company aims to change the minds of people (like us, admittedly) who have a hard time warming up to the idea of this transmission in a package like the WRX.
