This is a matching numbered car with the exception of the paint & interior. I have copy of the original build sheet from Studebaker.
The car features a factory 289V8 w / four barrel and factory T 10 Muncie four speed. The motor was rebuilt back in January 2015 and the transmission has been gone through with new gaskets & seals. Additionally the clutch, pressure plate & throw out bearing has been replaced. Documented photos of engine rebuild available .
The custom theme goes back to 2007 when the car appeared in Street Rodder Magazine I have the cover and article of same . The cars paint and interior are near perfect as the car has always been garage kept. The bumpers & related trim & bright work show like almost new. The overstuffed seats with matching colors add to theme of the ole school scallop. Additionally the fake Lakewood pipes and wide whitewall tires nail the fifties look. This is not a HOT ROD ! You are looking at a bone stock custom cruiser. At freeway speeds the motor is pulling around 2300 RPM . The gas mileage is around 16 Mpg. You could drive this car anywhere.
The car needs a couple of minor item, they are Weatherstripping & Window Fuzzies . The gas gauge is not accurate so it should be looked at. Other than these items the car is excellent considering its 53 Years Old. There is absolutely no rust on this car
