Features Studebaker's lets see them

here's my '53 Champion. did 200 at Maxton, want to do same at Wilmington.

 

Man I love the look on that one the way it is. Even with that stance, I would totally drive it like that

Hooley just ran 223 mph with his Studebaker at Wilmington Ohio Mile event ...

 

that's awesome. Looks like Wilmington will be fast

 

nice........

 

5W32, Started as a 41 Commander 4 door and was grafted with a 55 Pontiac ambulance that was chopped, sectioned, narrowed, and chanelled over an 88 Olds wagon frame with power steering, power disks, and front and rear air ride.

acmechris, mohr hp, and Lockjaw sick rides!

 

Rolled mine out into the sun for some pics....it's for sale in the classifieds.

 

here's mine it's a 51 four door I made into a roadster I call the stubybaker.

 

how about my studebaker thunderbolt powered model A coupe, does that count?

 

Looking good. Did you have to do any sort of strengthening as it's got no roof?

 

Just starting my project... as it looks now...



have a 58 Sweepstakes 289 ready to drop in... still deciding on a Rear axle & a tranny ( between a t-5 & the 3 speed overdrive that came with the motor ) box will be shortened between 12 & 14"... seat will be lowered to the height of the cab, after the under seat gas tank is removed & the floor flattened... custom headers will be frenched into the front fenders

photo shop work of what I want it to look like...

 

yes I did,the sills have 2 pc's of sq tube built up to reinforce the body kind of like what the original convertibles had .

 

1937 Studebaker

my 53

 

Here's a real oldie

 

I had a '56 Golden Hawk in 57-58. Nobody called it a stupidbaker. I was the fastest car within 60 miles of Lebanon MO.

 

we call em fords here in okla.............

 

Here's my '61, 283 SBC...we pull our '58 Scotty with it. The Scotty is serial number 002.



...this is my '51 Starlight, blown SBC.

 

Where are you on the Conestoga now? That looks just like my son's did when we brought it home except for the trim. They made fewer than 2,000 V8s in '54. Only about 7,000 in all. None in '53 and in the middle of '55 they wrecked them with a wrap around windshield. Was it built in the California Studebaker plant?

 

Thanks! Nice to hear!

 

Mine and a buddies 51' business coupe. "Studemizer"

 

Here's our Strugglebuggy collection. None on the road at the moment.

This is my son's '54 Conestoga "trailer queen" in New Mexico on one of several trips between here and Texas when he was in college. It has a supercharged 289 Studebaker and a T-5. At this time Dana 44 limited slip with 4.27s. Out of the hole! Without OD.


This is a '64 Lark the engine in it is stamped with a number that identifies it as one of about 200 304 ci R3 engines made in '66. The Big Block. It doesn't have the Special heads or supercharger. Not sure about the cam, rods and pistons. It came from and old Stude mechanic. Not L&M.


This is a '59 Lark no engine now but it was a 259With the Borg automatic. Though I am am big Stude V8 fan my plan for this one is a 331 Caddy. If I can stand the original color we could call it the "Pink Caddy Lark"


Finally our shop sign. I'm going to dress up like this guy for Halloween. Khaki shirt and pants, lace up work shoes, white socks, belt above my belly,if they make 'em that big, a shop cap made from an fedora, taped together horn rimmed glasses, a pocket protector with a slide rule among the pens and pencils. L&M Motors, who do you think they were? Studebaker and Simca Specialist? The guys in the gas station in "It' a Mad Mad Mad Mad World"

 

if it went 200 at maxton, 200 should be easy at wilmington.

 

Really cool! Reminds me of the Chicken Hawk.

 

my 53... about ready to pick color...

 

Ours
