It seems that the seller is pushing the "unrestored" nature of the car;
I can tell you the wheel on my '62 looked exactly like that when I got
the car (25K mile barn car) they just don't hold up.

If they get their BIN price, I'll get them to sell my Cruiser for me!

If they get their BIN price there will be a restored white one going up.

The description says "hardtop" when the car looks like a post model to
me.

I'm sure that's a terminology thing... there were no true hardtops in
'61; but a lot of younger people don't understand the difference
between a "hardtop" and a "coupe" (since there haven't been many true
hardtops made in the last 25 years or so due to rollover safety
concerns) and therefore anything that's not a convertible is referred
to as a "hardtop."

thanks,

nate

How many came from the factory with a plate on the engine where the
fuel pump should be?

I think we can pretty safely say that 100% had no such feature...
although with Studebaker you can never be sure <G>.
