I have a new daily drive! Gotta save the K's on the CV8.

Year: 1983
Make: Subaru
Model: Sherpa (Series 2, Super Deluxe)
Colour: Gold
Engine: EK42 665cc 2 Cyl inline OHC
Transmission: 4Spd manual
Drive Type: Front Wheel Drive
Accessories: Cigarette Lighter, Ashtray, Parcel Tray, Luggage Bar, Road-Runner Pin Stripes (legit!) AM/FM Pushbutton Radio
Mods: Aftermarket Intermittant Wiper Relay (Other than that she's totally stock!)
Top Speed: 125 Km/h

Purchase Price: ... wait for it... $250.00 !!!! OMG!

This beauty is so much fun to zip around in. I take it to the train station every day. Gets to 100km/h (eventually) and just hums along. Gets less than 6l/100kms from its massive 20 litre tank!

I've only got one photo at the moment, and it's a dodgy phone pic taken at night. I promise I'll get better photos up soon because I know you're all dying to see them!

Planned Mods: Repaint stock wheels, install speakers to run directly off iPhone (already tested and works fine), possibly install a RBH31 turbo or AMR300 supercharger... seriously.

must be why I love it so much.. Powered by Rainbows!

gotta do something about the headlights, they are hopelessly inadequate.

It's actually an awesome fun little zippy thing to drive. Did an oil change last weekend and it's running so smooth now. I reckon with the right custom exhaust it will sound like a wicked superbike, after all it is a 665cc 2 cyl 4 stroke!

i think you should go with the AMR300 supercharger so it lives up to the Super Delux sticker on the rear.

what's with all the haters? this thing is a weapon. you should track down a turbo to suit a smart car. they are a 700cc motor so it should be perfect size.
