Nope... I'll give you a hint:

Put a beetle motor in it and it will be a bug-a-ru

It's more important that I know how fast my car will stop.

If you're going to do it...That's the one. White on white on white (Tripple Whites are the 2nd most desirable...Tripple Blacks being the rarest). It's all stripped and ready for prep. The pans are done. It runs like a top & comes with a chitload of spares. He's only asking $2500. It'll be worth 4 times that when done.

You can PM Bugaru if you have questions

Yeah, this one is not on the cheaper end, although not on the top end either.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! It is indeed a Subaru 360!


"Had" being the operative word...So you don't "have" one right now? Jay's trying to figure out who nabbed a pickup model while he was on his way to get it (sort of)

Sold it about 2 years ago, picked it up for a song up near Trenton but really had to many other projects going on and a friend from the GRM community really wanted it.  Haven't seen any pickup models recently.  Amusing little cars.  After sizing up the van with the Smart I realized a drivetrain swap from a Smart would have been a perfect fit.  At the time I had a donor mustang and wanted to put a 5.0 in it but the 5.0 and T5 even if pressed against the drivers seat still overlapped the rear end by 6 inches.
