The second-generation Subaru BRAT, sold from 1982 to 1994, refined the quirky charm of the original. Its most famous feature remained the two rear-facing jump seats bolted into the bed, a clever workaround for the 25% 'chicken tax' on imported light trucks. A removable 'Fun-Top' T-top roof became available, and in 1983, a turbocharged EA81T engine offered a welcome power boost, paired with an automatic transmission.
The BRAT's appeal lies in its unique 1980s style, rugged simplicity, and undeniable character. It's not a fast or particularly capable off-roader by modern standards, but its 'On-Demand' 4WD and light weight make it a fun runabout. Collector interest has grown significantly, lifting values from their used-car lows. The market recognizes originality and condition, with low-mileage, rust-free examples, especially turbo models with T-tops, commanding the highest prices.
Based on 31 recent sales, prices range from $1,500 for project cars to over $30,000 for pristine examples.
