Searching for a Studebaker and saw this one. Looks like a good buy ,but too far from Ohio for me . hope someone latches onto it. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/2824142768.html

It looks like a nice car for the money. I would like to see the interior (especially since it is a 1962). I wonder if it runs or is seized.
It has a modern air conditioning compressor/system.
Before Bob P. chimes in - It is not only missing the battery hold down but it has a 24F battery, with the terminals on the wrong side, making shorting even easier.

EDIT: I just scrolled down and saw the fifth and sixth pictures. They show an after-market A/C system and nice cloth seat inserts along with a full dash.

Thanks for the BHD (Battery Hold Down, not Big Hairy Deal) assist, Gary. It does look frightening with the battery loose and the posts so close to the underside of the hood's edge. People just don't realize....!

An interesting note is the fifth picture down, of the interior. With the steering wheel being oval and positioned as it is, and with the camera lens distortion being just right, it looks like the car has a tilt wheel and the wheel is tilted a notch or two above straight back!

'Just an optical illusion, though. Nice car. BP

A lot of potential, it is probably pretty rust free if it spent 22 years on the road in Cali, then in storage. Looks like someone removed the emblems and chevrons when it was painted....

What chevrons on a 1962?
