I had to pass on this one, but I drove the same model in the same color for years. I think it's the perfect car, most similar to the MGB-GT and Volvo Sportwagen. A 'shooting brake'. If you can't have two cars (a convertible and a panel van) it covers the most bases. I used to haul my (apartment-sized) washer and dryer in mine.

Those dual cannon 4 into 2 headers are loud and inefficient. 4 into 1 is better, 4 into 2 into 1 is most efficient. Why not have it dump in front of the rear tires?

You can put a Type I engine on a Subaru 5-speed, but the adapter is expen$ive. The custom ring and pinion is $1500 alone. You want a 2.3 liter flat four with EFI anyway. Subaru swaps are popular for a rea$on.
