  • First step to the chrusher.

    Sorry to say the coupes I have bought, for parts , have exceeded my limit. Something's gotta go.

    Certainly you aren't crushing the car in the photo! Wouldn't a Studebaker nut from your area have a home for it (or be willing to help you find one)?

      If the one in the picture is going to the crusher, I'd like a shot at the grille frames first!
      Thanks

        It's a tri-star, for the love of Mike! Give the bloody thing away first! Surely, the hundred dollars or so that scrap would bring, is worth it? Pay it forward my friend!

          It is a 4 door sedan as I see two door handles on the drivers side. Either that or my double vision is back again. <g>

              Tex, are you trying to start some crap or what????
              You talk about coupes and you show a picture of a quadraporte.
              Shame on you. <G>

                BTW, that "pay it forward" stuff has to be a occasional thing. After parting out 3 rough Avanti's, I'm about ready to list one I saved for maybe 3-5K under what it would bring in parts. I've spent more time and money than I intended, and it has to be a occasional thing or I'll go broke. For those that want to pay it forward on parts cars by saving them, next time I'll let them take the hit.
                In the case of this Avanti, I just had to do the right thing, but can't do all of them by myself.

                    Agreed. Over the years, I have noticed how easy it is to be philanthropic with other people's property here. There are plenty of generous people here, but shouldn't it be their idea?

                        Looks like you are correct to me, Frank.

                        All you folk raving about it being crushed, but nobody has made the man an offer yet. Ante up guys.

                          Put the car on ebay someone will buy the car for more than scrap. If I was closer I'd buy it ....

                            Didn't mean to mislead. It is the 4 door sedan I am stripping. I meant I bought 2 coupes
                            for parts and I need to move the 4 door. And yes it is my wife's limit, not mine. And, oops,
                            I just noticed I mispelled Crusher. Not many people in my area intrested. I am stripping
                            before hauling, And, brngarage the grill shells are just for a little labor and shipping. BUT,
                            they are NOT coupe. Bumpers are being saved Jerry. Anyone intrested in the car, I will
                            describe and price. O, one other thing, YES money is tight. I am already over budget on my 53, and almost at a standstill. Thanks, Tex

                              Yes, and sometimes it pays to give someone else alternatives and opportunities. As to being philanthropic with other people's property, yes that's very easy. It's probably the five Studebakers (all of them parts cars) I've given away in six years that are the cause for my poverty.

                              I do practice what I preach boys.

                              Tex, list it on the 'bay as parts with no minimum or reserve and see what happens. Just make it clear that they must take the whole car and transport themselves.
