Subaru Legacy GT-B Wagon

1997 Subaru Legacy GT-B Wagon 5-Speed Manual – Only 49,815 km

Offered for sale is a beautifully preserved 1997 Subaru Legacy GT-B Wagon, one of the most desirable performance wagons of the 1990s and a true icon of Subaru’s golden era. Combining everyday practicality with advanced engineering and exhilarating performance, the GT-B has become increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike.

This example has covered just 49,815 km and remains in outstanding overall mechanical and cosmetic condition. It has clearly benefited from careful ownership and proper maintenance throughout its life. An especially desirable feature is its predominantly original factory paint, with only the rear right fender having been professionally refinished. Paint thickness measures approximately 70–80 microns across the original body panels, while the rear right fender measures approximately 130 microns, confirming a high-quality repaint.

At the heart of the GT-B is Subaru’s legendary EJ20R 2.0-litre DOHC Boxer engine, featuring the factory Boxer 2-stage Twin Turbo sequential twin-turbocharging system. Producing approximately 191 kW, this engine delivers strong low-end torque together with impressive high-rpm performance, providing a unique and engaging driving experience that remains highly regarded today.

Unlike many examples, this GT-B is equipped with the highly desirable 5-speed manual transmission, allowing the driver to fully appreciate the character of the sequential twin-turbo powertrain. Combined with Subaru’s renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the car offers exceptional traction, balanced handling, and confidence in all weather conditions.

As a genuine GT-B, this Legacy features Subaru’s sport-oriented suspension package and distinctive factory styling, making it one of the flagship models of the BG-generation Legacy lineup. The chassis feels tight and composed, the suspension operates as intended, and the vehicle drives exceptionally well.

Inside, the spacious wagon cabin provides an excellent balance of comfort and practicality. The interior remains in very good overall condition and reflects the vehicle’s remarkably low mileage. With generous luggage capacity and seating for five, the GT-B combines genuine performance with everyday usability.

With its exceptionally low mileage, sought-after EJ20R Boxer 2-stage Twin Turbo engine, desirable 5-speed manual transmission, predominantly original paint, and outstanding overall condition, this Legacy GT-B represents a rare opportunity to own one of Subaru’s most celebrated performance wagons.
