UPDATE (Jan. 19, 2022 1:59 p.m.): Since posting this morning, Subaru and Hoonigan showed off what the custom car actually is. The 1983 Subaru GL wagon is Travis Pastrana’s new gymkhana car. Details are sparse, but we’ve updated the post with what we know about the car.

Subaru and Hoonigan teased a new build on social media Wednesday morning, perhaps marking the completion of a project hinted at several times by Subaru partner and Hoonigan extraordinaire Travis Pastrana, who has been doing silly things in Subarus for quite a while now. And now the two companies have revealed that it’s a 1983 Subaru GL wagon.

The initial teaser had us hoping it might be a Brat, since the front end was shared with the tiny truck, as shown below from a video screenshot involving Pastrana and a Brat (left), and Murilee Martin‘s junkyard photo (right):

That’s not to say we’re disappointed. The wagon looks extremely cool, with enormous fender flares and side skirts. It has neat details such as the color scheme that echoes the U.S. Ski Team stickers that were available originally, as well as the suitably rectangular exhaust tips out the front fender. We appreciate the other retro touches such as the yellow rectangular fog lights and the roof rails, too. As such, we can’t wait to see it driven in anger in a Pastrana Gymkhana video, as well as learn more about what makes it go.
