  • Your ugly Studebaker

    "Built to drive" Maybe but evidence is it has been driven maybe 200 rough riding miles. I guess that would cover maybe one tank of gas.
    Maybe the seller should include with purchase $10,000 Life insurance policy in case of a fatal accident. Hmmmm I think I have seen that somewhere else. LOL.

      It would be convenient to change the shocks!

      This is the result of not having a friend to stop you before building something!

            Any one interested in this car to buy? If so you can pick up the Zip Van in Yuma while you are at it.

                Plate on the rear says "STUPIDBAKER". I guess the builders name is Baker.
                I appreciate the work that goes into rigs like this, but most of the builders do not realize that their creation is just an expensive toy. I believe that is why these rides never have very many miles before coming up for sale. The same is true of over built street rods or anything else. Your buddies will only be wowed a few times before you are yesterday's news.

                  This would be the perfect car for a post-apocalyptic movie like Mad Max. Couldn't be much better unless you added some huge exhaust pipes on the sides.

                    It's a 50, not a 51. But it has a 51 rear window. Strange.

                      Wonder if a step ladder comes with the sale?

                      Hopefully you could sell the drivetrain for enough to buy a stock drivetrain to make it drivable.

                            Heck, my Studebaker is just an expensive toy. And it's factory stock.

                            I wonder why so many on this forum have always been so quick to put down a car that isn't theirs, built/owned by someone they don't know.

                              I think it's kinda cool. There are plenty of bullet noses that don't get purchased and rot into the ground. This one is running and driving. Just think, he may have put more miles on this car this year than some SDC members put on their cars.
