Features Studebaker's lets see them

I have gotten a little farther since I posted earlier in this post. It is by far the funnest car I have worked on. My 53 Studebaker coupe all steel and its got a Hemi!

 

My altered wheelbase studebaker lark that is almost done!

 

I'm starting to appreciate Larks more and more, partly thanks to this thread. A little 2 door wagon would be fun, but I've run out of room.
That's a nice gasser project.

 

It's looking good i like it
your way farther then i am with mine

 

I've got a '60 Lark VIII hardtop here in Aus but I'd really like to get some period speed gear for a new 259/289/300+ cube Stude engine build. Originally I had hoped to piece together bits for an R4 engine build (expensive!) however mulit-carb manifolds or Hilborn injection would be cool. You just don't see much for sale.

 

Southerngassers new members Stude!! I want it bad! LOL. He plans on making a showing at No Problem meet this week end.

 

Here's my latest. '57 Broadmoor wagon.

 

great vid, love your car but couldn't tell if it was an auto or straight stick.... thanks

the GBF ( " great balls o fire")is a th400 with a 2600 stall convertor,shifted by a chrome box style b&m series 60 shifter, its the same setup as it was in 1969.
... keep your eyes peeled at the magazine stands over the next few months...

 

Love that green bullet nose roadster! Lots of other cool ones as well. I'd love a Coupe Express, '50 Starlight or convertible, and Golden Hawk with Supercharged Stude engines.

Here's my '50 3/4 old tow truck, it's in the classifieds section. I would definitely trade it for one of my Stude wants.

 

u asked for it and is a blast to drive,will drive over most of ur stuff

 

This one's a little different, only the heart, the front shox and the rear brakes are Studebaker.

 

heres mine

 

one in progress

 

My Specialty haha

 

Looks pretty wild, care to share some info/specs?

 

28dreyer, any chance of seeing more detailed images of your engine on that sprint car?

 

58 hawk

 

I love this thread! Someday owning a Studebaker is on my bucket list...even if I never get to drive it.

 

OK here's a set of my Mild Custom Stude/Small Block 350 under the hood. Reverse scoops/3rd light.

 

the latest from my 41 build

 

...

 

Not mine, but this 32 coupe sure does look a lot like a ford to me,but Im no expert, Im sure they dont even resemble a ford to the ford guys,just sayin.

Hell I got one now that you can't drive. You're welcome to come sit in it and make zoom zoom noises whenever ya wnt.

Hey low budget is that coupe a '32?

 

it a build from all the stuff just laying around my shop for years. started when I found the 41 study cab and front end. I used a s10 chassis added a Quick change with 3 link on air . Wide fives and wilwood hubs and disc brakes, 302 ford with t5 tranny,fuel cell, 3 inch chopped roof, 2 inch chopped out of the hood, 2 inchs chopped from cowel,5 inch channel,recesed firewall,hand made bed and running boards 3 years of my love and labor.

 

I got two. For those who know a prewar and a postwar. All studebaker powered. 1941 Studebaker champion and a 1961 Hawk.

 

Im usually not a fan of rised truck, but i really like the well done ones. This applies. Clean and mean. Id roll it hard.

 

A 50 Stude truck I did back in the 80's-90's for a local guy......

 

My '55.
