  • 1950 Studebaker Business Coupe - 1,371 HORSEPOWER!

    Really?





    From the post:

    This is an extremely well engineered car. This is a real 1950 Studebaker Business Coupe. Studebaker only produced 849 Champion Regal Business Coupes in 1950 and this car is one of them. This makes it a somewhat rare body style. The car however has undergone many changes. We will never know whether the Studebaker Bros would be impressed with the car or would run from the loud rumble that this classic produces. We would like to think they would be amazed that this much horsepower was packed into a car they meant for traveling salesmen (came out of factory with no backseat). The car was put together by the skilled builders at Sachse Rod Shop, which is known for their quality rides.

    Not only was this engine built professionally but was built by one of the best. The 632 Hans Feustel built engine is a thing of beauty. Car guys across the country bow down in its presence. It rumbles to life and sounds amazing through its custom exhaust. It is hooked up to a very strong turbo 400 transmission with trans brake. When you feel that need to smoke the tires, the line lock will give you all the control you need. When it comes to shifting there is nothing smoother than the custom air shifter on this Studebaker. When it comes to drag racing a strong rear end is very important. This is no problem when there is a 4 link 9" Ford rear end with Mark Williams components. Worried that its all show? Let the numbers do the talking! The following DYNO sheet has the car pumping out 1,105.9 lbs of torque and 1,371.0 horsepower at 6511 RPMs on a mild tune. The car has run 8.60 in the quarter mile on the same mild tune. It has a lot more potential for power.

    The interior is finished out with black vinyl seats, custom built console, a beautifully painted purple dash, and a full roll cage. The custom made console houses everything from the shifter, headlight switch, horn, NOS controls, to the extra gauges (oil pressure, amp gauge, water temperature, NOS gauge, carburetor, and fuel gauge). To keep you shifting in perfect time the Auto Meter pro-comp memory tachometer is mounted in perfect position behind the removable racing steering wheel. The dash has been completely smoothed down to just the original style speedometer and is painted purple with custom graphics that say "Bullit." I don't think we are going to need to explain how it received that nickname. The trunk is also finished out nicely with the gas tank mounted between the huge tubs as will as the nitrous bottle which is strategically placed under the continuation of the roll cage.

    This car is absolutely amazing. It is coated in black primer and is completely ready for paint. It comes with a binder giving a complete breakdown of various parts of the build. From receipts to the hand drawn wiring diagrams this binder contains endless information!


    Being sold at 1/2 of what it would cost to build at $59,950.00!

      Overkill is a word I would apply to the engine.

        Oh wow. Another "mine's bigger than yours!" exercise. [|)]

        Another car rendered "toy".

        Wonder what kinda GPM (Gallons per Mile) it averages?

        I'd bet the Studebaker brothers WOULD be impressed - just not in positive fashion.

        If you like this thing, that's cool. It's just that I could find WAY BETTER ways to spend that kinda money.[^]

        1953 Commander coupe

        No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.

            Way over built for my taste. I bet it draws lots of gawkers when its parked at a car show. I would look, but I don't want it.
            The seller is really enthusiastic though! [)]

              Just think how many nice Studes you could buy with the $59,000! I'm sorry, but this car is just nuts.

                In my opinion, the hoodscoop doesn't suit the bullet-nose design very well. Perhaps if it was made from two large round tubes to simulate the look of guns or maybe designed to look like a pair of torpedos it might look more appropriate to me as it would enhance the image of a fighter plane. I suppose this design is the most functional however. Speaking of airplane, I wonder how it would look with a pair of tall tailfins....

                  I'm thinking 4 or 5 at least.

                    Depends on what you want to pay for Studes, you could possibally get 59 of them or 6 real decent ones

                      Quality is highly overrated. I'd buy at least 59 rusty Studes for that money.

                        Of course the SDC is not much of a big power crowd - but in the $50k range for a legit and reliable 8.6x e.t. car is a comparatively good deal.

                        On a car with the body shape of a bullet nose there is probably no scoop that would look right. What would be cool is to use the lowest cowl hood needded to clear the tall engine - and then turn the bullet nose into the engine "scoop".

                              Yeah, I like the idea of using the hoods bullet as a scoop!
