Just sold for $35,000... $3200 over dealer-markup sticker and you have to
pay another 8% ($2800) commission.  Or you could go down to the dealer and
buy it for $31,000.  They stated that this was not a charity or celebrity
car nor was did it have anything special on it... not ...

WOW, I knew they were hard to find and thought this would top $100,  Now
30 minutes before auction end it;'s almost $200.00
Keep your eyes peeled for these . . . .

  No, it's not another post about faulty brakes. I want folks to stop
calling me to come and save another Studebaker! I just got another call out
of the blue. A female voice asks: "Is this Bob?"
  "Yes, I"m Bob" I answer

Do the brakes in a car with overdrive engaged, have to work harder, when
trying to stop at high speed? Is the stopping distance actually longer for a
given speed in overdrive?

This car is NOT, it bears repeating, NOT a Chevrolet!!  I know that because
it says so in the title of the auction.  It's very solid except for the rust
holes and totally complete except for a few minor things like the engine,
the transmission and the hood.  It must drive real nice ...

looks pretty promising... will let you guys know how it works out when I
get one done.  This was the set that I got off ebay from "studestu."
Sure cheaper than new hubcaps and quicker than repainting, and looks
like it will turn out better as well.

I need a current address for the editor of the Tarheel Wheel.

I have two Studes. A 63 Cruiser, and a 64 Commander. Both 4 door cars.
Both are low mileage cars. (In the 30 k mile range.)
Both cars suffer from the same malady. The doors rattle, and the glass with
in the doors rattle. I doubt that much can be done with the glass, without

I've been slowly reading my stash of old TW, as I have a lot of catching up to
do, being a fairly recent SDC joiner.  Came across a well-written and funny
story in the September, 1982 issue.  Michigan's Don Everett told the tale of he
and a friend both towing a Stude...four cars ...

   I just got a call that fellow NG'er Mark Hoffman went into the
hospital this morning. I have a phone number if anyone wants to call and
chat with him, email for the number.

Just so I don't chew the teeth off my gears, do I have this right..?  With OD
engaged, and rolling, I can shift from 1st to 2nd to 3rd without using the
clutch, as long as I let 'er coast between shifts?  

On Dianes thermometer in Subenacidie Nova Scotia this morning when we got up
it read -32C(about -20F),and her old Dodge Caravan,a 93 3.3 litre with
436K,haden't been started since last Thursday.She went out and hit the
switch and Vroom,away it went.So I went out and pumped my very ...

Well, it's a pain, anyway. Been fooling with the Avanti for months, off
and on, trying different plugs, timing settings to no avail. With fresh
plugs it ran great, but soon started to bog down at higher RPM and boost
eventually fouling plugs. Yesterday I was out playing with it ...

After reading Nimesh's post, I have the same problem. I usally don't
see a new posting for 12 hours or longer. Wonder why it takes me so
long and others see them so much quicker?
