1999 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Version 5 Coupe - World Rally Blue - 110,850km - Number 63 of 399 Australian-Delivered Examples
One of just 399 officially imported by Subaru Australia, this numbered GC8 coupe is among the rarest and most collectable Japanese performance cars of its era.
About This Car
The Version 5 STI Coupe is widely regarded as the peak of the GC8 generation. Launched in 1999 and officially imported in tiny numbers for the Australian market, only 399 examples were brought in by Subaru Australia, making each one a genuinely significant find. This example, identified as number 63, retains its original Subaru owner's wallet, Impreza and WRX STI supplement manuals, and Warranty and Service Handbook, providing the kind of provenance that serious collectors chase.
Under that iconic bonnet scoop sits the EJ207 2.0-litre turbocharged horizontally opposed four-cylinder, paired with a five-speed close-ratio manual gearbox and Subaru's legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. The combination that helped Subaru dominate world rallying through the 1990s. The build plate confirms engine type EJ207DW1PR and colour code 74F, the factory World Rally Blue that makes these cars so immediately recognisable. The compliance plate confirms original Australian delivery with manufacture date 01/99. Odometer reads 110,850 kilometres.
The exterior carries the full factory Version 5 aero package: deep front STI bumper with Subaru Tecnica International badging, side skirts, rear diffuser, and the signature large-blade rear wing. Finished in World Rally Blue with factory gold five-spoke alloys, it is the definitive GC8 STI colour combination. Inside, the red and grey bolstered STI sport seats remain present and the original STI-branded instrument cluster is intact. Aftermarket additions include a Momo steering wheel boss, an A-pillar gauge pod with boost, volt and temperature gauges, and an aftermarket exhaust tip. A dashboard cover is fitted to protect the original dash.
