Bermuda Brown? Reminds me of the car PlainBrownR2 has that he had to retire.Comment

It is indeed Bermuda Brown. It belongs to SDC member Larry Mitchell of Taylor MO. Larry has driven that Commander from Missouri to The Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race in central Michigan several times, but not within the last couple of years.
The car is a bargain at that price; it really is.
If you want a genuine 1964 F-body V8, call Larry and buy this thing post haste.

Be careful clicking on any links associated with these pictures!!! I clicked on the first picture. Then I clicked on "NEXT" and it opened some kind of picture album. Then it started opening all sorts of other windows.
I shut down my computer, re-started it and ran a virus scan. No virus was found, but I didn't like all the other stuff popping up automatically. I suppose I'm a little suspicious, but, you never know.John Clary

You'd better do it quick, Joe. In all honesty, I am working on Income Tax right now and if I get sidetracked, I'll never get back to it. If it was already done and I felt relaxed, I'd be giving Larry a call....and in all likelihood, making arrangements to hook up the trailer and head west.Originally posted by irish View Post
As I said, I've seen this car several times when Larry drove it to The Pure Stock Drags, but not for about five years. Unless it has spent the last five years as a "runner" in a damp salt mine underneath Utah, it is a screaming bargain...and Larry Mitchell is an honest, straight guy who won't mislead you about the car's condition.
Good luck.

That is a clean looking body, regardless of what color it turns out to be, but the engine compartment looks like it's a Missouri car for sure.

After some e-mail correspondence last night, Larry and I settled the deal on the phone this morning and so I will be heading to Missouri in April to retrieve the Commander. I am looking forward to this road trip and look forward to meeting Larry. I hope to put a few miles on the car this summer as an occasional daily driver and maybe some local car shows too. I'll keep you posted with photos.

Yep, that looks like a much better spitting image of the one I used to drive, except mine is all decked out in the R2/Powershift trim, and has black interior panels with Daytona black bucket seats! Midwest salt ain't much kind on these here cars after 11-12 years of driving them around Chicago, but hopefully those parts will get a second life in the '63 Daytona I'm working on!

Congratulations. And...I think a rather "timely" buy, as I conclude by recent chatter...these cars are coming into their own as desirable cars. Of course, unless the hobby gets derailed by burdensome regulations, the later Studebakers are more "roadable" for modern traffic as drivers.John Clary
