Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / June 2006Any one want to buy a '62 GT?
My old '63 re-surfaced after many years. It is the first Stude I ever "finished", and the nicest. Dispite the Rose Mist color, I loved that car. I would like to buy it back, but first must let go of my '62. Here is the skinny. 1962 GT 289 4 BBL (originally), Now a 224 block, bored .093 over to 304.5. Ross forged pistons, reworked heads, R-2 cam, new guts, reworked rockers, edelbrock 600 CFM with a Edelbrock air cleaner. Strong engine. I have the original block. New dual exhaust. Less than 1000 miles on rebuild and exhaust. Originally a 4 speed, now a Chevy T-5 OD manual with new clutch (original tranny may be available through someone else). 3.94 open diff, originally a 3.31 TT. I have another 3.31, and the original may be available through someone else. Interior is original and in amazingly good condition. Taupe. Not show, but darn nice. Tire are fair with some sort of Lark caps. NO rust California car bought new in Compton (Los Angeles), I bought the car in Orange county. The trunk gasket leaks, so some surface stuff has appeared in the last years...NO rust through or anything but light surface in the trunk in two areas. Originally a radio delete, now has a working proper Studebaker AM The tach stopped working so now has a Stewart/Warner reasonable facsimile electronic tach. Center trunk antenna. Originally no power steering, now has a power steering rig on it. Disconnected right now secondary to severely leaking return hose. The unit and ram did not leak. After market A/C, charged with 134A, worked 3 years ago, now needs a charge. All intact. Terrible Earl Schieb Gold paint. A 50 footer. One 6" compound dish dent in a door. Decent stainless and chrome, good driver material. Brakes totally rebuilt by Orange County Studebaker about 10 years ago and maybe 3 thousands miles ago. They are stock, but work fine. Fun car, I have tried to explain as much as I can, but call for more info. I would like to get around $5000 for the car, but call and talk to me. Transport is on your dime. Kelly 520-762-0271 (Home). Arizona time, now on California time (we don't recognize no stinkin daylight savings time). Someone plese buy this car, it's a bargain at that price and a better deal for Kelly than working a trade with me. > My old '63 re-surfaced after many years.

Put your reserve @ what your willing to accept and who knows. After seeing the cheap avanti go nuts you might make out pretty well. Just my .02 worth. You get wht you pay for.

[quoted text clipped - 54 lines] > 62 Lark 2 door > 60 Hawk Funny you should mention that. Kelly offered the car here for 5K, way less then he has in it. A rust free GT, nice interior with a rebuilt engine with some goodies and a 5 speed. What does he get for his efforts, a bunch of low ball price offers. When I heard that, I told him to send me pix and I'll ebay it. If I don't get him the money he's looking for, I'll buy the damn thing myself, or work a trade more fair to him, paint it and flip it for a nice profit.This all started because he offered me a better deal then I though was fair and suggested he offer the car at a bargain price here first. Some folks would not recognize a good deal if it bit them in the a.s.<g> > Kelly, > Why don't you clean up your car, take a bunch a pics and have JP ebay [quoted text clipped - 61 lines] >>62 Lark 2 door >>60 Hawk SignatureJP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 Daytona HT 64 R2 4 speed Challenger (Plain Wrapper) 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk (Black) 63 R1 GT Hawk 62 Daytona HT 62 Lark 2 door 60 Hawk > Funny you should mention that.

Bob Miles Got any pics that you can e mail me?? I might be a serious buyer. Could the car be driven as is. Louis The car is a driver. I did a Tucson to Flagstaff turn around to break in the motor about three weeks ago. 500 miles total. No problems. That isn't a warranty, just that I have confidence in taking the car on the road. Pictures? I'm technology challenged. I'll go to Walgreen's and get a digital camera so I can get a disc to send out pics. Be patient. my e-mail is kelmbakeratmsndotcom Kelly I was trying to work out your engine specs but can't get your numbers with a 224 block by boring .093" over unless you bored it out about 0.125". If you used a 259 or 289 and bored it out .093" you would get the 304.5. But are you are saying you used a 224 block and bored it out .093" over the stock 289 specs then you would get the 304.5 with the 289 crank? Just trying to see what you did.

They are either full flow, or partial flow, but the differences are all in the stroke. The 224 was picked because it had the thickest cylinder walls of any of the engines that were tested hydrosonically from a group that included "R" motors....it had less core drift and could handle the bore over (.093) on a stock size 259/289. If a 224 is a different bore than a 259 or 289 (I didn't think so, I thought it had a very short throw crank), the bore was made to fit 304.5 pistons. I will go look up a 224 bore again, but I think it is the same as 259 and 289. Am I wrong? KM > My old '63 re-surfaced after many years. It is the first Stude I ever > "finished", and the nicest.

Kelly, knowing seeing and having driven the car, I would think you could get more than $5,000 for it. As it sits, and seeing the quality of some of the cars that pop up on ebay, I would think you could get $6,500 for it. I guess you really want that first car that you did, Bob Miles |
