Need To Know : Tips Before Buying Subaru 360 Sedan

[@jurivlk5433]

From the distance of the internet I would give it a 8/10. It's an over 50 year old car and has only minor imperfections.

[@kevinclouse7024]

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. My dad had two of these and a Triumph TR 3 parked in a one stall garage. We also had the van. He bought a 12'x12' shed loaded it in the van brought it home, built it and parked the van in it. I remember the window wash didn't always hit the window of the Subaru but the car next to you. Great video.

I’m loving the old videos. I want to work on my Subaru 360 sedan again 🚗

[@iana6713]

These are such cute little cars, and I do love the two-stroke engine sound. (Once owned a Trabant...) Who would've bought one of these new in the States, I wonder? It's pretty much the opposite to the massive late-Sixties cars produced in Detroit, so why did Malcolm Bricklin think it'd be a success? I'm sure I will never see one here in the UK, but I am glad to see your videos of your own cars. They look to be so much fun!

[@indigenoussober407]

In the future, I most definitely want to own a 360. This video will be immeasurably useful.

[@jaymiepobanz8801]

Mark again. The Subaru 360 parts seller on eBay "can-antho" from Long Beach, Ca is a Subaru 360 Club member who has helped us alot by offering his fine reproduction parts. Keep them running on both cylinders.

[@jonsvenson7056]

Is the owner trying to make this a 100 point car? Or just something to have fun with and drive around during the summer? Because a lot of these comments may or may not apply depending on that. Personally I’d be happy with it despite its perceived faults.

[@2stroketurbo]

He bought it to re sell or flip , it needs to be much better to command a good price. Its getting there!

[@Jaxs2]

I wish I could get one here in the UK but I have only ever seen one on a G plate so 1968 🤷‍♂️ it sold for £20.000 pounds which is a lot 🤔 really enjoying your vids take care 👍

Would love to see you do a video of all the work on subaru I love the cars u have and work on

1:45 I used to take out my roof and drive, reminded me of a Pringle.

[@carllinden533]

7:50 As an owner of a rare 2-stroke car here in the US how do the rest of yall not go crazy knowing that some parts are pretty much unobtainable? Personally I just pretend everything can be custom made somehow no matter what

[@al_dente4777]

Especially, if some idiot comes up with the idea to throw a brick through that windshield. Where is anyone going to have one of those copied, once none are left in stock?

[@carllinden533]

@@al_dente4777 I've often felt this world is getting too aggressive and stupid for these cars to exist. And the answer to your question is very few, and the ones that do won't know it.

[@al_dente4777]

Wifes name and pic . Mark here. Great video! Very well done, sedan looks very nice and much better than so much of the junk people try to sell. The new owner is lucky to have it in your care. But as you pointed there are a lot of small stuff was incorrect or missing. Throttle cable is a big problem, but luckily for the new owner they are finally being reproduced, ebay $220 for sedan cable. JDM-car-parts.com has great products. I met the company owner a few years ago at the Japanese Classic Car Show in Long Beach, Ca. His sedan which he restored with parts he reproduced, won Best of Show out of about 1000 vehicles. It was in my opinion it was of Perfect Concours quantity!! You are probably are a Guru, but I have the 360 van from The Guru Ed Parsil. I think you would agree.

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

Had on in 1979. Haven't seen one since. Daughter and I did buy (2) 1958 and a 1959 Nash Metropolitans today. One is a runner. I say that car was a flip. It came a long way and needs a bit more to be spot on.

[@rammbostein]

At 3:08 it looked like a couple of spare fuses for the fuse box there

[@geyser3445]

Would like to know how much he paid for it. Good video once again.

[@garylangley4502]

The lift used here really looked like overkill for the car. Thanks for the videeo.

[@ajivins1]

I've never seen one of these before, would have thought it was earlier than '69. I'm sure they could sell these today if a modern, efficient power plant was used.

[@ajivins1]

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 The Mini killed-off bubble cars in Britain though the weird Bond Bug was a seventies oddity.

[@ajivins1]

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 The Robin became the Rialto in '82 and lasted till '97 but that was a proper 4 seater, Bond's Bug was just a two-seater flip-top wedge.

[@ivaniliev7809]

Make a video about you experience with 2 stroke oil for 2t cars. Mineral, Semi or fully synthetic, what do you use?

[@discerningmind]

I hope hoping for a test drive. Next video?

[@georgekeats1478]

5 out of 10? I think it would be a little higher. Looks to me like someone put a ton of time into that little breadpan on wheels. A few corners were cut but it also looks like an awful lot weren't cut. It seems to be in great shape. A lot better than any used car I've ever bought.

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

Thanks for all the info.

I was looking for a video on how to put the top and window oh my Subaru 1969 I took it out about 10-years ago and I don't know how to put it back on the weather strip the top and the back window

[@2stroketurbo]

Extremely hard job, borderline impossible as the rubber got hard. You will to boil the seal

[@tdiamonds23ice82]

Beautiful car

[@vancetrella1330]

If you ever have one for sale for a good price I would be interested to check it out

You don’t need a lift for that, just a buddy with some legs

Hi where abouts are you located ?..im looking for a windshield and a rear drivers side window ,,,any luck ?..

[@jurivlk5433]

Like the Mini! You can use Corgi toy tires on them😀

[@craigmeyer1468]

How many us gallons of gas can the reservoir hold for the Subaru 360?

[@2stroketurbo]

3 gallons of fuel , maybe tad more

[@r1lark]

Oh no, now there will be a run on Subaru 360s, and drive the prices to $500K and up! :-)

[@jaymiepobanz8801]

Hagertys has a valuation of $44,300. This is based on 3 recent auctions prices, of of which I saw go for $50k. Most of feel thats a bit nuts however it helps myself and others who own them,; more is better than less.

[@derbygreg9884]

Would it be possible to drive a Subaru 360 on say a 150 mile trip at freeway speeds?

[@2stroketurbo]

I have done it. Took a day to recover. Felt like driving washing machine looking up at big rig lug nuts pass you by and air wake blow you off the road. Definitely a memorable trip

[@derbygreg9884]

@@2stroketurbo I have watched video's of you getting up to speed. Seems like it would be full throttle at freeway speeds. BTW I love the old 2 strokes.
