Price: US $3,500.00 SOLD OUT
Extremely solid body and frame. Stored in a shed for almost 40 years in dry Arizona climate. Some parts had been removed and stored in the trunk, perhaps getting ready for a re-paint due to the sanding that had been done. Most parts have been re-installed and others have been acquired from parts cars to make this Starlight Coupe as complete as I can make it. I know the radio, rear-view mirror, glove box door emblem and the door panels are missing. The drivers door glass is cracked. All the rest of the glass is serviceable. I plan to include 2 more doors and one has a good glass. Sometime in it's life the transmission tunnel had been cut. There is another tunnel piece included. Critters helped destroy the 65 year old wiring and upholstery. Headliner is ripped out, but the bows are still attached. Engine turns over by hand, but no attempt has been made to start it due to the condition of wiring and fuel lines. It's condition is unknown. Transmission is a 3 speed manual with overdrive.Anyone that has built an old car will tell you that rust is the one factor that costs money to fix with no extra value in return. This car has very little rust. I have found 2 small spots. One on the passenger door, (2 more doors will be included) and one spot on the passenger front fender. The floors are very solid, as is the trunk. The doors open and close with no sag or drag, and latch just like new. Hood and trunk fit as well as any I have seen. The car shows no signs of ever being in an accident. Car rolls and steers for loading.I'm thinning my herd of Studebakers and this is the project that is most complete and will take the least amount of effort to complete. There is still a lot of work to do, but it's a solid, complete car to start with and will make a really desirable driver or show car. Bullet Nose Studebakers always have a crowd around them at the shows. They make really interesting customs and resto-rods too. With the patina this car has, it would qualify for the Rat Rod class also. Please contact me for more info or pictures of areas of concern. I welcome inspections prior to auction close. I advertise the item as well as I can, good and bad, and have a 100% positive feedback. I may be able to help with transportation in lower 48, within reason. I'm not fond of driving in snow. That's why I'm located in Phoenix, AZ. Will also help with loading for your carrier as needed. Car can be stored at my location for a month or two if needed, but must be paid for in full. I'll work with you as needed, again, within reason.
