skywatcher68 ◊ 2012-07-17 23:04	Heard back from them. It's a Bricklin-modified Subaru 360! That leaves us with the question: what to list it as? 1980 Bricklin Fastrack II based on Subaru 360? 1968 Subaru 360 Bricklin & Meyers Fastrack II? You know what's funny? From the start, I had a feeling that Bricklin had something to do with this. -- Last edit: 2014-09-06 16:03:27
