I met the owner of these cars several years back at a car show in Martinsburg WV, when I talked with him about his Diesel Lark. He invited me over to show me his collection. His health has taken a turn for the worse and one of his friends, whose email addy is below, is helping Torey and his wife sell off the collection. The list below is only a handful of all that he has. These cars all ran and were driven to where they are parked. The current list is of the Studebakers, there are a few mopars and packards and amc's in the mix as well. Sorry no duece coupes, model As, or Ts. The oldest car I saw was a 1940. The property is very close to MARTINSBVURG WV, and a short distance from I-81. The following link will take you to the original post on the Studebaker Drivers Club Website. Anything that has s**** beside it is $290(thats what the local crusher will give) most of the projects are $500 or less, the drivers Im still trying to get prices on...... http://forum.studebakerdriversclub....rrey-Kirby-s-cars-are-on-eBay&highlight=torey ***MODS please dont delete this ad, Im just trying to save some old iron from the crusher, I didnt want to post it in the cl***ifieds as I have no prices to list since they are not my vehicles, THANKS!*** the current list: ‘64 Stude Commander 2 door, red , 289, 4-speed, bench seat. rough, but unusual and collectible (SOLD on eBay) ’64 Stude Commander 4 door white, in garage,, believed to be 6 cyl 3-speed, driven more recently ’47-’49 Champion 4-dr gray, in garage, looks decent (at least through the garage window) ’58 Stude 4-door, in garage, believed to be President Cl***ic, poor paint and pitted chrome ’65 Commander 4-door, brown, A/T, rust in fenders, hood, stuck, fairly solid, don’t know if 6 or V8 ’58 Commander 4-dr, multi-colored, A/T, radio, not much rust, hood stuck ’64 Commander 2-dr, blue, A/T, rough, key in ignition, broken window ’59-’60 Lark 2-dr blue, A/T, fairly complete ’58 Commander 4-dr, black, locked, Stick, fairly complete, moderate rust ’63 Wagonaire, blue, sliding roof, moderate rust ’52 Champion 4-dr, medium green, A/T, fairly solid, many parts in back and trunk ‘54 Champion Coupe, light blue, no serial plate, extremely rusty, some $$ parts ’63 Lark Regal 4-dr, light blue, 6 cyl, stick, bad rust ’61 Lark convertible, yellow w/red interior, V8, well equipped, extreme rust, ’51 4-dr, light blue, Believe Regal Champion, stick, radio, fairly solid ’50 Champion 4-dr, Usable parts ’57 President Cl***ic, turquoise/white, A/T, clock, very rusty, some usable parts ’59-’60 Lark 4-dr, blue, V-8, 2 bbl, A/T, radio, fairly solid, parts car ’40 Commander 4-dr, extreme surface rust, rusty body- s**** ’55 Commander 4-dr, OD, clock, usable grille ’62 Lark Regal 4-dr, A/T, split recliners w/headrests, pb radio, moderate rust ’64 Commander 4-dr, blue, no engine/trans, fairly solid, sell as parts car ‘63 Lark Regal 4-dr, white, no serial plate, 6 cyl, stick, radio, usable front fenders ’56 Pres Cl***ic 4-dr, AT, pb radio, clock, wheel covers, much rust, very shabby Zip Van (first), no serial plate, complete, but very rusty, some parts, s**** Zip Van (second), same description, rusty, some parts, s**** ’63 Lark Regal 2-dr, white, 6 w/stick, very rusty, parts car, s**** ’62 Lark wagon, blue, AT, 6, split non-recliners seats, roof rack, pb radio, wheel covers, floors gone ’62 Lark Regal 4-dr, gray, AT, pb radio, sitting on ground, parts car ’54 Land Cruiser 4-dr, blue, AT, radio, clock, backups- parts car ’61 Lark hardtop Autumn Haze, 6 cyl stick, complete, sunk in ground to sills, very shabby ’64 Champ p/u, white, 6 cyl 3-spd, long bed, very rusty ’61 Lark Cruiser, Autumn Haze, 259 V8, O/D, very solid, little rust, shabby interior SOLD ’66 Cruiser 4-dr, lt blue,w/black vinyl top,AT, AM radio, usual rust, water stained seats, fair, ’64 Wagonaire, gray, AT, V8, sliding roof. very rusty, parts or s**** ’64 Cruiser 4-dr, black, split recliners, AT, clock, pb radio, moderate rust ’48-49 Land Cruiser 4-dr, radio gone, solid, backups ’63 Wagonaire, white, 6 cyl stick, sliding roof, very rusty, s**** ’56 Commander 4-dr AT, green and white, pb radio, clock, bad w/s and p*** door gl*** ’61 Lark 2-dr, lt blue, 6 cyl, AT, little rust, bent fender, eBay ’63 Cruiser, blue, AT, ps, split recliners, clock, pb radio, wswashers, nicely equipped, ownership question ’66 Commander 4-dr, maroon, AT, V8, rusty floors, (sold Kern Motors, Winchester, VA ) ’59 Lark hardtop, Reclining bench seat, V8 stick, very rusty floors ‘60 Lark wagon 4-dr, lt blue, 6 cyl, AT, dash partly gone, clock ’59 Lark 2-dr, blue, 6 cyl, stick, no radiator, rusty floors and fenders ’63 GT Hawk, red, Column AT, 289 V8 2 bbl, full dash, disc brakes, ps, moderate rust (SOLD on eBay) ’64 Commander or Challenger 4-dr, blue, hood stuck, not too much rust torreycars@frontier.com AGAIN THESE ARE NOT MY CARS PLEASE CONTACT THE ABOVE EMAIL FOR ANY INFO OR QUESTIONS OR PRICES.

an update from the gentleman helping with the sale....some O/T The only remaining AMC is a '74 Matador which Torrey was driving before he got sick. All but one Rambler, a blue hardtop, went to the s****per and it will probably go too as they can't find a ***le for it. All the MoPars were sold except a late '80s rear wheel drive New Yorker. From where it sits it has been a long time since it was run, but it's not rusty, poor paint and has a plush interior. GMs include a '77 Pontiac Catalina four-door which Torrey also drove (decent car), an Olds Cutl*** Cruiser station wagon with faded paint, but decent interior (condition unknown) and a '66 Olds Toronado in prime- supposed to be in good mechanical condition with re-chromed bumpers, but we can't find the bumpers.
