Project Car: The Rarest Subaru Model in the US ... the 1970 FF-1 Coupe
I couldn't believe this popped up over on USMB the other day at a junkyard in northern California, and I lucked out and happened to be close enough to save it (courtesy Darrell AKA wooknwood, who volunteered to pickup the car and drive it here with his flatbed!)
I only know of a handful of FF-1s still in existence in the U.S, even fewer than the old Subaru 360's and much MUCH more rare than any other 1970's model Subaru. If you would like to know more about the FF-1, here is an article about one that SOA has stored in their "attic": http://drivev2.dcim.com/sum06_attic.aspx?page=4#ff So anyhow, here are pictures... Feel free to ignore the P.O.S. that someone spray painted on the trunk long before I purchased it Last edited by Kostamojen; 07-07-2011 at 03:07 AM. |

What a transformation. And yes assembling will be good fun.
Let me just say that if you ever decide to sell this, which I doubt. I want to be one of the first to say I will be glad to take it off of your hands. It's gonna be a beauty. |

I plan on updating this thread with more pictures and information as I go... Tomorrow I'll start cleaning out the interior and maybe give it a bath, it definitely needs some simple cleaning right now to see what kind of work it needs. Eventually, the goal is to get it to look somewhat like this: |

I really hate when people quote pics, but this thread deserves it. I'm just so stoked that you're doing everything the right way, the way this car deserves it to be done.
I remember 3+ years back when this was started, it's incredible. This is usually the ONLY thread that I visit on Nasioc anymore (no offense), the work done here is amazing. Do work. Keep it up. Can't wait to see it done. Respect. You make the internet smile. |

I'm contemplating selling this in its current condition if anyone is interested and the price is right. I just don't have the means or the motivation to work on it anymore.
Contact me privately ly if you are seriously interested. |
