As far as the registry on these goes, I have heard from exactly 5 so far. I can find pictures on the internet of others I have yet to hear from, but even so we are taking about a very small number of these left.
That is a really sweet car.

Actually it didn't sell. Didn't meet the reserve which I believe was $10,000.00

I have a dum question. On all Studebaker Hardtops, and convertibles there ware sub floor boxes that kept the floor, body from flexing.
The underbody shot of the above car seems to show no such set up, but along the left side of the rockers there seems to be an irregular piece of metal, as if it were torn. Were the floors, frames in this model that much stronger than the previous years' cars?

Seems a little odd to have a BIN only $400 more than the opening bid. If he only got $7,100 last time why does he think bidding will start there this time?

Some folks don't "get" the auction aspect of eBay (buyers or sellers). They have an easier time viewing eBay as a "stuff for sale" place. Especially rookies. This seller is a rookie (zero feedback).quote:Originally posted by Guido

A lot of experienced sellers cater to this by JUST having a BIN...no auction involved. I think this makes rookie buyers feel more comfortable.
This inexperienced seller is probably more comfortable hanging a "for sale" sign on the car (which is essentially what he has done), rather than doing an auction.
Nothing wrong with his approach, but he probably won't maximize the selling price with this method...coupled with the one sentence description and a few poor pictures.
This is one an experienced seller could buy and flip pretty easy. A little clean up of the car, a bunch of good pictures, a complete and accurate description plus the seller having a track record (lots of feedback and a high rating)...and right back on eBay. I'd guess $2-$3k profit in so doing.
