SpecDubC Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I have one of the QSM 08 USDM, too bad when I bought it at auction the insurance company and auction people sold it parts only bill of sale. Title has now been branded junk and the only thing wrong with it was some hail damage. They likely lost the title and took the loss but I'm 95% done transferring all the spec b parts into a refreshed 08 DGM LGT.

Toa Nuva Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I just came across this today, but it looks like one of the two Premium Red cars from 2008 recently went up for auction in the fall of 2020. Someone got a pretty great deal too! https://en.bidfax.info/subaru/legacy/5091877-subaru-legacy-25-gt-spec-b-2008-red-25l-vin-4s3bl696x83218385.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when I looked at the manufacture date for my relatively new to me 08 specB. Last Sept I bought what I was told is an 08 specB The VIN says it's an 08 specB I've confirmed the bits and pieces an 08 specB is supposed to have Everything says it's an 08 specB ... so can someone tell me why it has an 04/07 manufacture date? The Legacy/Liberty B4 platform is an awesome car around the world. Some very cool parts and pieces are available for it from Subaru and STi. I'd like to do some mods to the car with them. Easy international shipping sure is nice nowadays. One thing I came across was that some JDM part's were "type" specific. Huh? More searching led me to believe it had to do with manufacture date. For me the important ones were I believe type-D Mar 07 to Mar 08, type-E Mar08 to Mar09, type-F Mar09 to Mar10. Or, some such. Kept finding parts that fit "B4 BL type D", etc. So, out I go to the car this morning and I see 04/07!?!?! Two hours of thorough searching all over the international internet and I have no answer for the difference. Was this 08 car actually built that early in 07? This thread is the best place I know to drop this post. Can anyone shed some light? Heck, I may not of even correctly deciphered what the "type" is supposed to mean. Thanks. Resbum In the UK its common for JDM cars to be made a year before they are actually registered - logistics and all.

Jbuzzetta Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 On 1/12/2017 at 4:45 PM, Alphius said: I have recently extracted the production numbers for all US market Subarus from roughly 1995-2010. The information comes from the parts lookup program with VIN database that Subaru dealers used. I figured a good place to start is with production numbers for the 07-09 Spec.B. Enjoy! 2007 - 450 432 were DGM 16 were BSM (Likely preproduction test or promo cars) 2 were RBP (Likely preproduction test or promo cars) 2008 - 653 380 were DGM 271 were QSM 2 were color code 01W [Premium Red?] (Likely preproduction test or promo cars) 2009 - 112 31 were DGM 28 were QSM 24 were OBP 16 were SWP 13 were RRM EDIT: As requested, Canadian Spec.B production numbers: 2007 - 139 138 DGM 2007 Canada delivered. 1 BSM 2007 Canada delivered, probably a press car or test car because it's a very early VIN. Produced much earlier than the rest of the 2007 Spec.Bs. 2008 - 78 40 DGM 2008 Canada delivered. 38 QSM 2008 Canada delivered. 2009 - 48 28 SWP 2009 Canada delivered. 20 DGM 2009 Canada delivered. Hi there, thanks for sharing this. I recently bought a brilliant silver metallic 2007 Legacy 2.5GT Spec.B. Do you know if I could verify if it is in fact one of those 16 silver 07s? Subarunet vehicle inquiry says the car should be DGM (65Z), parts dept says the touchup color is BSM (39D), paint code on the door is 69D which I can't find anywhere. All the vins on the car match up and it really doesn't look like the color has been changed. Any help is appreciated, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperenvy Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Checking in here since I was trying to answer this question the other day how many of my car were built and now it seems like finally have an answer! Should have seen this thread years ago. Still have mine since early 2009, got it as a Subaru of America executive demo out of the south as I couldn't get one new. Worked for two Subaru dealers from 04 thru 2023. Only has 45,000 miles on it and every year I talk about parting ways with it and can't, have had a couple corvette's and didn't lose sleep when they were gone. Wish I had bought this S209 back in the day to keep with it but at least I have photos of these two rare white Subie's together! 4 2017 F150 Platinum EB 2009 SWP Spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) 1 of 19 if I remember correctly. Only a few SWP SpecB have popped up on the forum over the years. One has been documented as wrecked in the PNW. One sold a few years back. Another was pretty heavily modified then sold by Berkshire40(iirc) and never resurfaced. I’ve modified my gt to be the swp spec B I couldn’t buy new. She’s a beaut. I’m at 57k miles. Just when I think I’m the lowest mileage LGT around… Edited February 20 by Code 1 "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well." - Bill Shakespeare - car modder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
