Hi all,
I joined the forum when my father in law, John Schiavone, passed away early this year. Since then, I've been working on settling the estate, deciding what to keep and what to sell, and transferring ownership of his Studebaker to myself. The debts I've accumulated to settle the estate have been sizable, and I've finally decided that as much as I hate to do it, I need to sell the car.
It is a 1963 Studebaker Hawk with a 289 cu in engine and automatic transmission. At one point it was a show car, and he has a great many trophies from the various shows he took it to. For the past 10 to 15 years, however, it has been sitting undriven and covered in a carport, and the elements have taken their toll. It's still in decent shape, but it definitely needs work. Having spoken with those who were close to him, the car will apparently run (with low compression and oil burning) if the battery were charged. As it is, the car is in central Florida and I am in Wisconsin, so I can't tinker with it myself to verify.
Anyway, I was writing for suggestions as to how to sell the car. My father-in-law was a longstanding member of the SDC, but obviously I am not, so I don't think I'm allowed to post it in the classifieds here.
Any suggestions you all could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
