1955 Studebaker Champion Coupe - $26,500 (Golden)

1955 Studebaker Champion Coupe. Restomod finished in 2017.Dad owned it since 1972and as a tool maker, everything had to be perfect. For the discriminating Stude NUT, it has 1953 champion hood and double grill(not a1955 single carp on the beach look grill... they cracked and are impossible to find), 1953 front and rear bumpers and clearance lights(thinner look). 259 V8, 3 speed manual(on the floor) w/ BorgWarner R10 Overdrive(yes it works!). Overdrive makes the car semi like an automatic w/ kickdown. Dad kept and polished the cool sidepipes I put on it back in 70's. Runs perfect. I'll take you for a ride, and you'll see what great care was put into restoring the car. Interior is perfect. OK...so the rear main seal and trans seep a bit of oil ( a studebaker feature!)....thats it. Its not a race car. Studebaker engineers(Loewy) never wanted this version to be a drag car, just sleek lines and low, clean, flowing look. Phone calls only. No lame texts. Cash only. Asking $26500
