$5 Subaru GL becomes a priceless member of this family | Hagerty Classic of the Year

Stephen Hodges’ 1981 Subaru GL has been around the block a few times. And the backroads. It isn’t fast, sexy, or pristine. It is, however, Hodges’ favorite. And he’ll never sell it—not again anyway. The Subaru, chosen by Hagerty employees as our Classic of the Year, was the first car that Hodges owned and the first car he sold, a move he regretted almost immediately. Years later, Hodges' fiancé ended up tracking down the exact GL that he had sold before college. And, well, I guess you'll have to watch the video to find out more!
