    try posting some pics and more details like how rusty, etc. so, once you sell it what are you going to get to replace it?

    As suggested above, get a camera, take some photos (at least ten) of various parts of the "damage". Post it all with words and then maybe. This is sorta like getting a written description of your date for tonight. Visual always works best.

    What's it weigh? Figure about $12 per hunnert pounds.

    I saw several similar Studebakers go in that range at an auction a couple of months ago. I didn't take any photos but wish I had bid on one of the coupes for a drag car. It seems unless they are complete and running they don't bring much and even then they are a very low buck car compared to Fords or Chevs in similar condition.
     
  7. I could have bought a worn original 4-door that ran and moved in 2010 for $600.

    Get a copy of Old Cars Report Magazine off a newsstand somewhere, it's pretty self-explanatory.

    I just paid $550.00 for 53 Stude 2 door coupe with a ***le. It needs a partial floor ( from south dakota) the rest of the body, doors and front fenders/ rear quarters are all real solid I also bought a 53 2 door coupe body and frame with rusted fenders and quarters for $325.00 And two parts cars for $300.00 ( I've got 4 all together) 2 cents worth.

    Have you asked over on the forum of the Studebaker Drivers Club?
    It's a sure bet they'll know...

    I have a round red Studebaker emblem somewhere, what's it worth? ; )
     
  14. Some of those even have 4-lug wheels and small brakes, the cheap series whichever it was, I'm not going to look it up right now. Get it running, that usually makes them worth a little more, and if it turns over, you can get it to run.

    Sorry to say it but a '48 sedan is not worth much. The suggestions that around $300 should cover it.
