Custom 1985 Subaru Brat Gl Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Panama City, Florida, United States
|
This is a custom Subaru Brat. I bought two of them when I was in Alaska and was able to make one good one out of the parts from the other. I get a lot of cool stories and thumbs up everywhere I go with it. This has been my daily driver for the past 6 years. I have done all the mods myself. The only things that have ever gone bad for me were the starter and alternator. I have put new wheel bearings and seals, axle shafts, and larger radiator for the larger engine. It has a fuel injected 2.2 out of a 1995 wagon with 170hp. The stock engine only had half of that. The engine had 80,000 on it when I removed it from the wagon. I have since put about 3000 miles/year. I work only 6 miles from home and ride my motorcycle often. It has 6 lug hubs with new Chevy 6 lug wheels and tires. I put a 5 speed out of a 1989 wagon in it. The Brat never came with a 5 speed. This transmission is a 4x4. The original 4 speed comes with the truck as well. The 4 speed has 2hi, 4hi and 4low the 5 speed has just 2hi and 2low. The linkage in the 5 speed is getting loose and will need some attention soon but still works fine. It comes with 3 sets of wheels and tires. One set of U255's with Strata 255/35ZR20 tires 75% tread left, the second set is Good year Wranglers P235/75R15 on new black rims with 90% tread left and the third set were studded tires I used in Alaska. I removed the studs and the tires are almost bald now but the wheels are good.
Extra parts that come with this truck are: hood 4sp transmission driveshaft T-tops T-top seals Rear axle Various trim pieces This is NOT a rust free machine. It has rust forming on the fenders and under the doors. The floor is usually the first to go on these but this one is in great shape. Vehicle is for sale locally and will end auction early if vehicle is sold locally. Buyer is responsible for vehicle shipping or pickup. If full buy it now is payed I will throw in a tow dolly so you can transport easier. Please feel free to ask any questions. |

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
Subaru CEO expects record U.S. sales in 2020 despite market slowdown
Sun, Dec 15 2019TOKYOÂ - Subaru expects its U.S. vehicle sales to rise to a record high in 2020, as demand for its crossover models helps it buck the trend of slowing car sales in the Japanese automaker's biggest market. The company has been growing rapidly in the United States, the world's No. 2 auto market, roughly doubling the number of vehicles sold over the past six years, thanks in part to a ramp-up in local production capacity and a marketing strategy focused mainly on affluent and liberal-minded consumers. Japan's smallest automaker said that ongoing U.S. demand for its Forester and Outback models would likely boost overall sales in the country to 720,000 to 730,000 units next year, up by as much as 4.3% from the around 700,000 vehicles it expects to sell by the end of this year. "We expect the U.S. market to slow only slightly next year, so we're planning to see more growth in our sales. We think we can achieve this," CEO Tomomi Nakamura told reporters in Tokyo. He added that he saw room for the automaker to expand its share of the SUV market, which stands at around 7% at the moment, given that Subaru's SUV models outsell its Legacy and Impreza sedan models. "If competition in the U.S. SUV market continues, that segment will keep growing even as the overall market slows," he said. U.S. sales account for around 65% of Subaru's total global sales of around 1 million units. By the end of November, sales of the Forester this year had climbed 6.4% from a year ago, while sales of the Outback, its best-selling model in the country, were up 0.9%. However, the rapid growth in the country has coincided with a jump in global quality-related issues which has sapped profitability in the past year or so.

2021 Subaru Crosstrek is finally getting a more powerful engine
Wed, Feb 26 2020Subaru will address one of the Crosstrek's biggest shortcomings by making a 2.5-liter flat-four engine available in time for the 2021 model year. It will power the range-topping Limited trim and a new Sport-badged model. You asked, and the Japanese company is listening. Tom Doll, the CEO of Subaru's American division, told industry trade journal Automotive News that many customers have complained about the 152-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that has powered the current-generation Crosstrek since its launch. Put bluntly: It's slow. "One of the things that our customers were telling us about the Crosstrek was it was maybe a little underpowered with the 2.0-liter engine. Well, the 2.5-liter engine will solve that problem," he announced at a dealer meeting. While he stopped short of divulging technical details, Subaru has a pair of 2.5-liter flat-fours to choose from in its parts bin. The first is a turbocharged unit rated at 310 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque when it's thumping under the WRX STI's hood. Don't get your hopes up — that's not what's going in the Crosstrek, sadly. Nothing is official, but it's reasonable to assume Doll was referring to the naturally-aspirated four available in the Forester, the Outback, and the Legacy. It delivers 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque in all three applications. Subaru will usher the 2.5-liter into the Crosstrek range by expanding it with a new trim level called Sport. The range-topping Limited will also be offered with the bigger engine. Pricing information hasn't been announced yet, and neither has availability, but the peppier Crosstrek will likely arrive later in 2020 as a 2021 model. The Crosstrek is a jacked-up Impreza with a more rugged design, so it stands to reason the 2.5-liter fits in both models. There's no word yet on whether the equally underpowered Impreza will receive it. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
