Hot damn! Gonna finaly join the ranks!

After a few months of searching Ive found a rod that fits what Im after. 1961 Stude wagon with an sbc and 700r4. A couple things look a little botched but nothing that cant be fixed easily. It runs, drives and stops. Ill be bringing it home this weekend if I get all my ducks in a row.

Those have a great body style. Does it have the sliding roof?

[BruceR&C]

I think the question at hand here is "Does it have the sliding roof !"

 

[DirtRatsSpeedShop]

Studebaker.....Nice

For the new guys here, I'm a big Studebaker fan, and the more there are being driven, the better.

Oh yeah......That Chevy motor....just refer to it as a "McKinnon" motor. In 65 and 66 Studebaker used Chevy motors manufactured in Canada at the McKinnon foundry.

Nice LilD glade you found the right one I am still looking BTW does it have a sliding roof?

 

[LilD]

Alright, alright. IT DOES NOT HAVE THE SLIDING ROOF!!!!!

 

[Sam_Fear]

Welcome. Those are cool cars! Does it have....oh, forget it. How about those pics then?

 

[dmw56]

Man, why would anybody want a Studebaker?

1963-66 Studebaker Wagoneer had a rear sliding roof to accomodate larger loads in the back. Designed by the same guy that designed the Jeep Wagoneer.




Just Kidding! I have 2 Studebakers.

Hey, LilD, I'm a fan of unusual wagons. Got any photos to share ? Think we'd all like to see some.

 

[LilD]

No pics yet. Wont have the car until at least Sunday evening if it happens. I knda have a selling war right now. A guy selling a 62 Galaxie that I went and looked at contacted me and is getting desperate. Hes fixed a couple things I had issues with and is willing to deliver ir for cheaper than what I can get the Stude for. And its also a running/driving/stopping car. I like the Stude as its different and has an updated drive train but the Galaxie is a cool car too.

 

[LilD]

Done deal. Tomorrow morning I will be the proud new owner of a 1962 Galaxie 500.

 

[sixtall]

Woo-hoo !! I had a '61 Galaxie. Regret selling it. Now I'll be interested in seeing some pics of your '62. Congratulations.

 

[LilD]

Ill post some specs with pics when I get a chance. Its got less than typical rust belt rot. Nothing major that cant be patched up later on.
