  • C/L find: listed 6 hrs ago; nice '65 Daytona 2 dr in TN

    These seem to be pretty hot right now among Studebaker folks here. Just found this one on C/L posted about 6 hours ago. Looks like it could be a good one at a pretty fair price.

    I like the color. That car would have easily sold at York for 4000.00 had it been there. cheers jimmijim

      Very nice dash for a car that has spent its whole life in the "Sun belt."

        Looks nice. This is a relisting. It's been on and off CL since last fall. VMR tabs a #2 Daytona from this year at $7,450.

            Didn't know its fair market value. Not into the '60s cars, as you can probably tell from my avatar and signature photo.

                I was wondering how the engine could be so rusty on an otherwise-nice-looking car!

                What color is that? I'm not sure I've seen a '65 that color before.

                The car looks nice and the '65 Daytona has essentially the '64-65 Cruiser all-vinyl interior--very nice.

                Look for frame cracks up front around the spring pockets. The V8 '65 and '66 two-door sedans both have the lighter 13-gauge frame--it's in the '65-66 Shop Supplement so it's not a wives' tale. The two-door sedans are the only Studebakers of those years to have that light of a frame.

                  My southern geography is rusty, depending on where Corinth is and where in Alabama it's been, my thought is that engine has been around ocean air possibly causing that rusting. My guess.

                    The other possible reason for all that rust is Rodents! It really does appear to be some of them living under the hood, maybe in a Barn. That would also possibly explain the no Sun fading of the Interior or Exterior.

                      That color is called Sienna Red, its a Studebaker color for 65, I owned one the same color, still have it......Keep on Studebakering

                        Not a bad looking car at all. It would be nice to get the vin # as the famous "yellow valve covers" look to be original so we can get an idea when they stopped painting them yellow. Add it to the registry too.

                          That car has been for sale online before. I have the picture of the trunk dealer sticker from November 2011

                            I bought my 63 Lark from him two years ago, both were "Barn" or "Shed" type finds. My car had little rust, but everything else was dry rotted. He is a nice enough guy , just a little proud of his stuff.
