With so many old Subarus in Denver wrecking yards, I do run across the occasional BRAT. We've seen this '79 and this very rare Sawzall Edition '86 so far in this series, and today we'll be looking at a well-used '82 that still has the very rare lawsuit-inducing jumpseats in the back.
Yes, those Chicken Tax-skirting jumpseats that made the BRAT, legally speaking, a car instead of a truck were loose in the bed of this Subaru when I found it a couple weeks back.
I thought about buying the seats for my Dodge A100 van, but they're missing the headrests and one of the grab handles, plus the floor-mounting brackets were beat to hell.
These cars rusted very quickly, though Colorado's arid climate spared this one from full-on Michigan-grade cancer.
Nice BRATs are worth quite a bit these days. Thrashed ones are worth scrap value.
Strangely, I saw three vehicles with variations on this sticker during this trip to the junkyard. There's meaning there somewhere.
