Some were unsold into 1970, even after Subaru started importing its' larger, front-drive models to the US that year. Sometime in the early '70s, Subaru got a contract from the Japanese forest service for specially-built 4WD versions of their 1600cc FWD wagon. The then-president of Subaru of America opined that he could sell a few of those, it was made a production model for 1975, and.....you know the rest. http://www.subaru360club.org/
