Yesterday a good friend of mine that rents space in my shop for his Datson 510 came by to chat he has not been by in 6 months but when he got there he saw my 63 wagonaire and asked about it as he had never seen one before I told him about it and said it was for sale, he asked how much? I told him and he went to his car and came back with check all made out for that amount, so now I will get him signed up with a free 1 year membership as part of the deal. He is all ready talking about building the engine, he has never owned a Studebaker before, it sure is nice when thing come together. here are a few pictures of the car that was offered here on the forum a few weeks ago. yes the California car is rust free.

Ambassador Bob has done it again.

[unclemiltie]

Maybe that is a slight chance that Bob may have a spare engine for him

[63avanti.]

Awesome! Clean looking car and going to a good home! Hope he posts his progress and pictures on the forum.

Good man Bob.

Bob, are the floors rust free? just wondering how old is the new member You created?

[candbstudebakers]

Yes the floor and every thing is rust free, even the tire well, Richard is about early 50's, going from a 259 to a clone R-1 engine and original 3 speed with over drive.

Hey Bob, we have a new member here too. That black 1962 Daytona Hardtop you sent to Australia a while back (the one I bought from Chris Whitcroft) has been cleaned up, assembled and sold to my uncle who is getting back into Studes after a 30 year break. It should turn out a real show car and be on the road again soon.

Chris.

Chris, Ya I heard that Chris sold or gave you the car, I sold it to him dirt cheap when clearing the old yard, I always liked that can and figured it should be saved, the 4 speed and drive shaft is in my 63 R-1 two door standard, lets see some pictures of it when you can.
