1965 283 Color Slides - Possible Engineering/Factory?

[Bordeaux Daytona]

I bought these slides a couple of years or more from Tom Karkiewicz. I don't know where he got them from but he is in a good area. He had some other ones but I was mainly interesting in these. At 3 bucks a slide I couldn't buy them all.
They could use a cleaning but I couldn't find my brush, maybe someday they'll get cleaned up. I've been meaning to scan them for a while. I finally found a decent slide scanner and it was cheap too. Thrift stores are great.
I think Studebaker1965 wanted to see these. Not sure what the wheel/tire pic is all about and I bought one of a Stude V8 too. Enjoy!

Great shots, I just referenced your post on a question about the 283 return spring setup. Excellent reference shots. Bob

Great Slides

Interesting, 10 of 10 is a '64 Stude. Engine with Automatic, the one installed probably in a "Test Fit" Car, maybe a '64 is a '65 283 GM Overdrive Engine Package.

Number 5 shows an original Studebaker Battery and a Canadian Air Cleaner all set up like it just came from McKinnon with the early '65 Yellow valve Covers and before Stude. applied the Decals, or even had them maybe.

The Firestone Deluxe Champion Tires pretty much prove it is a New car.

I believe they are Very Nice Factory Pics.

What method did you use to scan in Color 35mm Slides?

Thanks. I find this one interesting because you can see where something was screwed near where the battery would be. I'm thinking the starter solenoid was there so they probably converted a Stude powered '64. Are the wires on the carb for overdrive? I'm not familiar with them since ours is an automatic.

Appears to show the overdrive kickdown switch installation in a couple of those photos, which of course is a very different location from the Studebaker V8.

Also in the Stude picture #10 the plug wires are very close to what I posted in another thread.

I bought this scanner at a local thrift store for 5 bucks, it was missing a usb cable but it was a common one I already had.

The maroon wires! I didn't even notice them until you mentioned it, neat!

Photo 7 shows welds running the length of the RH inner fender, same as the factory photo of the 1964 prototype in Ed Reynolds 1959-66 Lark book. This suggests that the 1964 prototype was recycled into the 1965 prototype.

Interesting too is the spark plug wire guides that bolt into the rear bolts of the intake manifold are missing on both sides.

Ok, I thought that looked weird. Now I'll have to find my copy of the book.

Right, Craig. Remember, General Motors was still offering factory-installed overdrive transmissions with this engine in several models at the time, so they would have had the kick-down switch bracketry and such already designed for that location.

Great pics; thanks for the post. BP

It appears, on the 283, that the rocker arm cover bolts are yellow, not natural (or black). To me, this says that the covers were painted after they were installed on the engine. I wonder how many restored cars (early 1965s) have yellow hold down bolts and how they would be judged.

[Studebaker1965]

Wow! Great Pictures! Thanks for posting. They are very helpful! Love that AC Delco fuel pump. I'm still working on the correct valve cover decals - I'm having difficulty getting a correct background color. On another thought, I wonder what ever happened to that car? Proving ground graveyard?

Definitely not an ordinary engine stand either! Cool shots-I like how they used a car with existing wear and tear!
