I have a buddy in SW PA who has a "legacy" (original) Power Wagon--not a crew cab, though. It's a '47. They built that body from '39 to '68!!!!

Let me know when you start seeing 'those' Legacys at cruise-ins or at B-J auctions!

I liked the Legacy wagon, in 2005 you could get a turbo with a manual transmission, a rare and cool combination for a wagon. For this latest generation SIA only builds Outbacks, no Legacy wagons. The manual turbo is long gone.
Subaru builds Legacy wagons in Japan, but they are not imported for this market, so every Legacy and Outback you see is made in Indiana.

that version of the GT wagon was kind of like a discount V70R. For the LL Bean crowd.

I'm amazed at the prices old, clapped-out, banged up Outbacks bring--it's very hard to find a good one. You don't even want to go near one that hasn't had the 2.5L engine's head gaskets replaced recently.

The turbos had the semi-closed desk block, so there wasn't the same frequency of head gasket issues. Thankfully Subaru redesigned the heads entirely on the F series engines (FA, FB) so that coolant isn't even routed through the gaskets any more, putting that issue to bed for good.

What year was that, that they got rid of the headgasket issue? That's good info to know.

I know when I was looking at OBs last year, that was one of the big changes from a 2012 to 2013 (moving to the new engine). I think the imprezza/forester moved a year earlier?
