1982 Subaru

BRAT DL 4WD 4-Speed



What We Like

Niche vehicles often have a devoted following, and some even become classics. That's the case for this Subaru BRAT DL, with its signature bed-mounted, rear-facing jump seats. This 1982 BRAT has the larger and more desirable 1.8L engine and is the recipient of a recent re-spray and new exterior graphics. Modifications include an upgraded carburetor and engine air filter, LED headlights, Suntune tachometer, and a Jensen stereo. With its quirky personality, 4WD, and a recent exterior refresh, this BRAT is equally ready take on car shows and trails.

Seller Information

Vehicle History & Overview

This BRAT carries a clean Virginia title and was acquired by the selling dealer in May 2022. A re-spray in beige was performed under the seller in November 2022, at which time new exterior graphics were also applied. Modifications include an upgraded carburetor and engine air filter, LED headlights, a Subaru GL rear badge, Suntune tachometer, and a Jensen stereo. Two keys, a jack, and a spare tire are included.

The BRAT, short for Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter, was introduced in 1978 into the burgeoning compact pickup segment. One of its most unique features is a pair of bed-mounted, rear-facing jump-seats which allowed the BRAT to be listed as a passenger car and avoid the 25% import "Chicken tax". Styling was updated in 1981 and a larger, more powerful 1.8L flat-four-cylinder engine was introduced, as seen here. US series production ended in 1987.
