1982 BRAT Camper
About the 1982 BRAT Camper:
San Francisco-based artist Jay Nelson took this incredibly clean 1982 Brat and turned it into a small camper with a pop-up. The interior space features sleeping for three, and the rising roof made from repurposed sails provide for some actually quite cozy living space. For those chilly nights, a small wood stove provides heat. While the 73hp motor manages to get the camper up to speed reasonably well, it is reported that the weight of the camper takes a quite expected toll on the brakes.
Specs:
- 73hp 1.8L Subaru BOXER
- Sleeping for three
- Built in iron wood-burning stove
- Camper shell made of wester red cedar

Ken Block's 2002 WRX STI Rally Car
About the Ken Block's 2002 WRX STI Rally Car:
Ken Block's 2002 WRX STI Rally Car
Build/Ownership Details:
- 2002 WRX built as a VSC customer car for privateer driver Bob Wall.
- This was during the period when Prodrive was running Subaru Rally Team USA, and VSC was an independent rally shop. SOA did NOT pay to build or run this car—it was entirely owned by either Bob Wall or Ken Block for its history.
- Car was built to Group N spec, rather than the later Open Class cars.
- Competed in two events in 2003 SCCA ProRally season, owned and driven by Wall
- Car was leased from Wall by VSC for Travis Pastrana to drive at 2004 Sno*Drift Rally. This was Pastrana’s first rally event; therefore this is the first rally car ever driven by Travis.
- Wall then drove the car for the rest of the 2004 season and into 2005.
- In mid-2005 the car was purchased from Bob Wall by Ken Block. Block would use the car for the remainder of the 2005 season, including Pikes Peak, with DC Shoes sponsorship and a white/gold urban camo livery.
- In 2006 Ken did a full season in the car, including his first win, at 100 Acre Wood.
- Ken also did a couple events in 2007 with it, but he and Travis had mostly moved over to the more developed Open Class entries by then.
- With Ken owning the car outright, he was approached by Discovery Channel’s Stunt Junkies to do a record-setting jump stunt. The car cleared 171 feet after overshooting the landing. This was the record later broken by Travis with his 269-foot jump over Long Beach Harbor in 2009.
Bucky Lasek's Car (VSC STI Hatch)
About the Bucky Lasek's Car (VSC STI Hatch):
This 2013 WRX STI shown wrapped in the very recognizable Subaru PUMA Rallycross livery was driven by Bucky Lasek during the 2013 and 2014 GRC seasons. It won three podiums and two heat wins including a silver medal at the 2014 X games in Texas. This iconic #81 rallycross car was outfitted by Vermont SportsCar and pushes out approximately 550hp giving it a 0-60 time of about two seconds.
Airslayer STI: 2020 Subaru WRX STI Gymkhana Car
About the Airslayer STI: 2020 Subaru WRX STI Gymkhana Car:
The Gymkhana stunt-driving franchise has left its mark on automotive culture and has grown to 11 installments, with over 500 million views – and counting – on YouTube. The first 10 installments featured Ken Block behind the wheel of various vehicles, driving in locations such as San Francisco, Dubai, Detroit, and Sweden. In 2020 Block handed the reins over to longtime friend and rival Travis Pastrana for the latest round of Gymkhana, the first time a Subaru has been featured in the series since 2009’s Gymkhana Two.
Built for Gymkhana 2020, the fully bespoke, 862 hp Vermont SportsCar prepared Subaru WRX STI is hailed as the “wildest STI ever.” The car features a custom carbon fiber, wind-tunnel developed, body kit including an active and driver adjustable double-element rear wing. Underneath the carbon fiber skin is the most advanced Subaru ever built, featuring technology developed via Subaru Motorsports USA’s successful rally and rallycross competition programs. All told, this is an intensely modified and high performing piece of automotive art.
Travis Pastrana’s 1983 Subaru GL Family Huckster
About the Travis Pastrana’s 1983 Subaru GL Family Huckster:
The Gymkhana stunt-driving franchise has left its mark on automotive culture with more than a half-billion views on YouTube. Starting from Gymkhana Practice in 2008, the first ten installments starred driver Ken Block ripping through the toughest circuits from San Francisco to Sweden. In 2020, Block handed the reins to longtime friend and rival Travis Pastrana for Gymkhana 2020 – the eleventh installment in the franchise and the first to feature a Subaru since 2009’s Gymkhana Two – which has been viewed more than 51 million times since launch.
Pastrana’s newest Subaru Gymkhana car—built by the masters at Vermont SportsCar— is an outrageous carbon fiber-bodied wagon in the style of a 1983 Subaru GL. Beneath its custom tubular frame are lessons learned from the Mount Washington Hillclimb record-setting Gymkhana 2020 Airslayer STI. While it shares that car’s 862-hp turbo SUBARU BOXER four-cylinder engine and disconnecting rear axle, The Family Huckster incorporates active aerodynamics for the fenders and rear wing that are unlike any Gymkhana car—or rally car—ever made. Expect something wicked in the next Gymkhana installment, coming later this year.
