We may get some data on the current market with a car I just listed. We sold it last year for a bit over 6K but the owner picked out another GT at Sal's too. He intended to keep both, but after a year, asked us to sell it again, in exactly the same condition.

Hi John, looks like a nice car. The ad states that it has a Powershift transmission, but it has a column mounted shifter (rather than a floor shifter). Does this indeed have a Powershift transmission?sigpic

Let's hope the trend is up. That one of the rarest, best-performing, most desirable Studebakers only brought $6k last year is depressing enough.

You should have no problem being as the book is listed (11K NADA average low book value)

Nope, it should have woodgrain, and one or two of the gages are aftermarket also, and the exhaust extensions are wrong. As with most drivers, it'll need after market k parts replaced.Originally posted by ddub View PostJDP MarylandComment

This vehicle would be in mechanically functional condition, needing only minor reconditioning. The exterior paint, trim, and interior would show normal wear, needing only minor reconditioning. May also be a deteriorated restoration or a very poor amateur restoration. Mostly usable "as-is".
If this car was sold at Barrett Jackson, or in a collector car show room, it would go for 10K or better IMHO. I've sold nicer R1's for close to 20K, but that was a year or two ago.JDP MarylandComment

I saw that car and it was pretty nice and very honestly represented in the listing. Very little needed to lift it above a driver. I hoped Matt would go for it and ship it down under as R1's are few and far between here. In better times I think it would have been worth around Ten K. At least the seller and buyer met at a price.Time may prove it to be a good buy as the economy improves.A.C.MoisleyComment

I agree with JDP. I wish I didn't have two kids to put through college the next five years. Cars like this won't be selling below $10K ten years hence.Comment
