Bought this 64 Stude this week. Here are the door and engine numbers. All original except for the paint. Being told it is a "very few made" model. Discussions welcome on what I have here.

I will bite. It is a 289 engine. Fairly early in production, based on serial no. Probably built in Sept. of 1963. Bsed on the five leaf springs, I am thinking wagonaire. I see a hole in a bracket down by the leaf spring as well, so could have had a torision bar. Let's see the firewall plate and that will definetly narrow it down. Also, a pix ofthe car.

Well, it is the only one made with that Serial Number! Pics? Description? BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

That rear end is not a '64 or the same car, with the '64 Serial because it has '62 and earlier Rear Shocks and lower spring brackets. A little mod. to get the Traction Bars Stabilizer Bar Ears? I smell a Performance Model.

That's the 9050th '64 V8 Studebaker, as serial nos. started at 64V-1001.
I'm going from memory (a dangerous thing!), but I know a fellow who had 64V-14402 and I was thinking it was built in late October, and delivered in Nov. '63. It sort-of seems to be that a 10/21/63 engine build date is too late for that serial number of car, unless Studebaker was decades-ahead-of-the-game in 'just in time' production methods!
Course, I could be all wrong on this!Bill Pressler
