1964 Studebaker on Craigslist...found it on Craigslist, in San Antonio. http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/car/187775804.html Fieronut!!! Now here's an opportunity right in your back yard...

OTOH, putting stuff from the '64 on to the '55 would be considered an upgrade such as finned brake drums, etc. But, I think that '64 would be a stand alone project well worth the effort. I'm too old for additional projects but will be interested as to how you make out. JT <but will be interested as to how you make out.> SO WILL I!! ;-) He hasn't called me back yet.

Seems very solid, no discernible rust except what appears to be some surface rust on the left bottom corner of the trunk lid. However, the little beauty is painted green (very dull) with a VERY WELL taken care of BLUE interior, full dash, AM radio, Flight-O-Matic on the column. I think it was previously white because the trunk interior is white and lots of white showing around the name plates. No emblems of any kind on the trunk. Hood shows what appears to me to have been an engine fire on the driver's side, where the battery/power brake booster reside. Can't figure out what it coulda been--there is nothing there to burn. Has duals, so I assume it also has a 4-v carb. Not a bad car for $3k, I guess. The wife said the engine had not been turned over in many years altho they DID start it frequently when they first put it on blocks--in 1973! (Hey, one good thing, ya won't have to buy the '73 license!! It's already there!) I think it will be a small challenge to whomever buys it, even tho it would make a GREAT project for yours truly----now if I can ONLY convince my wife I need both a '55 Prez AND this car!! The husband gets off work @ 4:30 and they will call me to come over tonite. As of now, I REALLY want this car!! Stay tuned! John Let me know if you decide not to buy it, and I will and we'll flip it on ebay together. > Fieronut wrote:'55 > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > > John  SignatureJP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 Daytona HT 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 63 GT Hawk 63 Avanti R1/AC gold 63 Avanti R1/AC Silver 63 Avanti R2/4 speed 62 Lark convert/4 speed 60 Lark convert 62 Lark 2 door 60 Hawk 56 Power Hawk/4speed/289 52 Starliner 51 Commander > Let me know if you decide not to buy it, and I will and we'll flip it on > ebay together. Sounds like a deal, JP but as of this moment, if that guy EVER calls me, at least in my mind, IT'S MINE!

The lady just called..her husband is home, said she had LOTS of inquiries. The 1st one there with the money gets it----I think that'll be ME! John > The lady just called..her husband is home, said she had LOTS of > inquiries. The 1st one there with the money gets it----I think that'll > be ME! I was right!! It was I! Like a chick on a blind date, this little beauty had a few unapparent flaws--like 8' SQUARE HOLES on either side in the front floor!! However, the guy was very nice. He pulled the spark plugs, we bumped the starter a few times and the engine moved. All the fluids look the right color, especially the red power steering and trans fluids. The AC blows (warm) and the radio works. The heater filter is probably glued in--it wouldn't move! It DOES have a 4-v carb and dual exhaust. There appears to be NO rust of the type usually found on Studebakers, front fenders and trunk. There is more surface rust on the radiator support and fan shroud than the whole rest of the car. I wouldn't be surprised if this little jewel didn't RUN after I clean the gas sytem Didn't have time to get it today, will pick it up on Monday. Wish me luck! > > The lady just called..her husband is home, said she had LOTS of > > inquiries.

It should keeep you out of trouble (yeah, right!) for awhile. Keep us informed as to progress... JT > Good deal! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > JT If it runs, I'M DRIVIN' IT! Ugly or not, floor holes or not...it's goin' down the road! I may even learn how to put those fiberglass panels in! First time fer everythin' ya know! John |
