1963

R-3844

CAR WAS DELIVERED NEW TO A MR. WEBER AUG 28TH 1963 IN OHIO AND SOLD IN 1966 IN OH. MR. DANIELS MOVED AND RETITLED THE CAR IN TENNESSEE IN 1971. CAR WAS STORED IN 1972 UNTIL I BOUGHT IT IN 2001. I HAVE MANY DOCUMENTS FOR THIS CAR INCLUDING OWNERS GUIDE AND COPIES OF TITLES, SERVICE RECORDS. THIS CAR WAS TRULY A RARE FIND.
THE FIRST THING PEOPLE WILL ASK IS HOW ARE THE HOG TOUGHS. THEY ARE GREAT!! IT HAS NEW FRONT CALIPERS, NEW FUEL PUMP AND A TUNE-UP. IT WILL NEED A NEW EXHAUST PIPES AND MUFFLERS. TIRES LOOK GOOD BUT ARE OLD. I WOULD GO OVER THE COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM BE FORE STREET USE. HIT THE SWITCH AND THE CAR FIRES RIGHT UP WITH NO SMOKE. SOUNDS GREAT!! LIKE A HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE SHOULD.
INTERIOR FAWN IN COLOR- DASH HAS NO CRACKS, SEATS ARE EXCELLENT EXCEPT A SEAM LETTING LOOSE ON BACK OF DRIVERS,see picture NO TEARS IN SEATS OR DOOR PANELS. HEADLINER WILL NEED REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS AVAILABLE AND A EASY FIX. CARPET ON DRIVERS SIDE NOT GOOD. ORIGINAL RADIO WORKS. AS DO THE GAUGES.
EXTERIOR HAS ORIGINAL PAINT WHICH IS LETTING LOOSE ON THE ROOF. STAINLESS IS PERFECT AND BUMPER CHROME VERY GOOD. ONE SMALL DENT IN REAR BUMPER AT THE LEFT TOP. A QUARTER SIZE DENT IN FIBERGLASS JUST ABOVE THE WORD STUDEBAKER ON THE TRUNK. CARPET IN TRUNK JUST FAIR AND THE SPARE TIRE AND JACK ARE MISSING. THERE IS NO PITTING OF THE POT MEDAL.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT COULD USE SOME DETAILING AND RECHROME OF THE AIR CLEANER AND VALVE COVERS. STAINLESS IS GREAT.
UNDERSIDE IS VERY SOLID, WITH JUST MINOR SURFACE RUST.
