1973 Subaru Leone GL Coupe
4 speed manual, front drive and a boxer engine all wrapped up with 70's Japanese styling.
This one supposedly runs and drives and has either 30K or 130K miles on the clock.
Not a huge fan of the faded orange, a deep blue would look gorgeous.
The seller doesn't list a price, instead preferring to run his own backwoods version of ebay by email.
So Oppo, what would you pay? Would you leave it stock or try to cram an EJ20t in it?

1st gen Leone coupes are some of my favorite Scoobies. Do you know if they ever offered the coupe in the first gen with 4wd? I know the wagons and sedans got it, but I'm not so sure about the coupes.

AWD was optional, but no 4wd

No, they didn't make 4WD coupes until the 80's.

Subaru didn't make actual AWD until the late 80's. Before then they were true 4WD's- 2WD when it was disengaged, locked center diff binding on dry pavement type 4WD when engaged.

It looks like this Leone is only a good paint job away from looking great again. I'd also try to find some original spec wheels to replace the newer Leone/B.R.A.T. wheels, but that's just me.
Based on the under the hood pictures, I'm guessing the color was originally Beat Orange, which is probably close to the color of this GSR. It's a pretty nice look, however, Sunlight Blue (the dark blue they offered) also looks good .

No price listed - if you have to ask, you can't afford it. Right?
