Description:

1951 Studebaker

I am selling this for a friend and retired gentleman who does not use a computer. His health is not that great. He bought this car2 or 3 years ago and then was unable to do much with it. Car has been in the garage since.

This car began as a '51 Studebaker and was artfully transformed into this little car. Very talented workmanship I can't imagine the hours and planning it took. All steel construction.

The engine is a Studebaker 259 V/8 it starts right up and sounds great and idles smooth with good oil pressure. It has been changed to a 12v system. The brakes are solid and work fine,the exhaust is a little load ending at the muffler. The tires are 15in. radials in great cond. The Viper red paint shines and is very nice. The hood has a dent in front, he can explain that.The head lights are from a1950 Olds. The snap on top is Haartz premium canvas nicely done. There is canvas doors in the trunk that has never beenmounted.

The transmission has issues going into reverse sometimes it and usually it won't. He was told it was a linkage issue but not sure what. This will need fixed, the car is priced with this in mind. Also the builder never got around to putting on inner fenders, I think this can be done easily or drive it like it is.

Any questions contact me and I will get with the owner or I will give you his phone no. I may be able to answer some questions.

The Car is being sold as is with a 200 dollar non refundable payment through PayPal within 48 hrs. of auctions end. remaining payment to be made in cash at time of pick up.

Thanks
