Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / December 2005Interesting Car on Ebay
I ran across this and inquired about the 289. The serial number he gave me is VK516. If I decoded this correctly then V=259, K=Oct, 5=1965, 16=16th day? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4595021320&sspagen ame=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1 I thought engine production ceased end of 63, early 64. This could be a "very rare" engine, hand assembled by dedicated ex-employees using parts that they carried out of the plant for years<GGG> > I ran across this and inquired about the 289.

Beats the heck out of me what this could be? The car is supposed to be a 64? Bo >I thought engine production ceased end of 63, early 64.

Bob Whiten Wagonmaster http://community.webtv.net/zzbob/StudebakersandMore I'd bet the '5' is really a '3'. He either mis-read it or mis-typed it. No, I ask him to look again and make certain? Bo > I'd bet the '5' is really a '3'. He either mis-read it or mis-typed it. I just checked my memory on the engine pad. The engine in my 64 Cruiser is PJ 327. All original & still running. pwb Now that would be correct for a 289 built Sept 27th 1963. Bo >I just checked my memory on the engine pad. The engine in my 64 > Cruiser is PJ 327.
