Cool Subaru Impreza belonged to Ken Block and now it can be yours

If there was a meeting heaven, unfortunately it got an angel this year. Ken Block died after a snowmobile accident. Blocking leaves many good memories. For example, he fought an Impreza battle with Colin McRae during the 2006 X-Games. Ken Block won – thanks to McRae’s crash – in the Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS you see above.

Unfortunately, it is not the venereal disease of the WRX that Block jumped 52 meters, but still: this demonstration car is also interesting. The Impreza that is looking for a new owner dates back to 2004. Two years after it was built, it visited Vermont SportsCar, which converted it into a Block rally car. There the car received better cooling, a new fuel pump, ECU and exhaust system.

More modifications to Ken Block’s Subaru Impreza

The 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine sends its unknown power to all four wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. Additionally, the front and rear axles have a limited slip differential, Öhlins shock absorbers, 15-inch wheels and a large front skid plate. The interior is as humble as possible with a funny sticker here and there. Despite the driving photos above, we cannot guarantee that the Impreza is street legal.

There are still some flaws that you should consider. The vehicle was initially declared a total loss due to extensive water damage. Driver Mark Fox still bought the car and restored it. He and co-driver Jake Blattner ran it until 2009. There are still a few spots here and there that need to be fixed before they can start rallying with it. If the new owner even does that.
