Over View:
The Subaru 360 is a rear-engined, two-door city car manufactured and marketed from 1958 to 1971 by Subaru. As the company's first automobile, production reached 392,000 over its 12-year model run. Between 1968-70, approximately 10,000 cars were exported to the US, with an original price of $1,297 ($11,364 in 2023 dollars). The 360 was imported to the United States by Malcolm Bricklin before he later manufactured his own cars.
None of them have been fully restored to original condition as a result of shortage of parts.
Project:
Parts were not really available for full restoration until we started this project last year. With alliance in Japan, now we have the largest selection of parts for Subaru 360 Series.
We restored this beautiful 1969 Subaru 360 Deluxe Sedan as a product engineering project of our new line of parts department last year. jdm-car-parts.com
The goal was to create as many reproduction parts as possible during the restoration process. We reproduced from weather strips, hub caps, rocker panels, decals, seals, gaskets, roof parts, interior parts, lens, and even stainless muffler. Up to this point, our investment is estimated over $140K for this little car.
