1968 Subaru 360

Price slashed! This 40k original mile 1968 Subaru 360 was the companys first entry to the U.S. market. This car was donated by a Subaru dealer to a Central California golf tournament; the winners wife didnt want a golf cart. The car was sold that day to a Petaluma man, who owned it for 46 years, driving it over 39k miles and then selling it to a Subaru dealer in Sonora, CA.The 360 was the Subarus first successful car; it fit the K-class mold (for Japanese tax incentives) with its four-person capacity, air-cooled, 356cc, two-cylinder, two-stroke, 25hp engine and 117.9-inch overall length. Subaru did not have an American presence until 1968, when Subaru gained its foothold in America when a then-unknown Malcolm Bricklin embarked on the first of his forays into the auto business by importing 6,000 cars into the US from 1968-70. With 20 dealers on the East Coast and 60 in California, the Philadelphia, PA-based Subaru of America was born in 1968.There is a thriving enthusiast community that restores and maintains these cars in America today. The 1968 Subaru 360 has appreciated roughly 250%-$300% in the last 5 years.
