This Starlight coupe had only three owners its whole life. The last owner had it 42 years! This car has been restored Twice in the last 42 years, that explains its exceptional condition. The original color was Blue. This car is being offered in several venues. Only way to guarantee that you own it is to hit buy it now or make a reasonable offer and once my seller accepts your offer then its all yours! This is Sunday August 2nd 2020, The car last ran at approx three pm CST. The engine turns over easy by hand. After putting Marvel oil in each cylinder and jumping the car off it started up first crank. The fuel pump started pumping out 20 year old fuel which I drained into a gas can. The car will start up instantly and purr like a kitten while being gravity fed off a can. I would flush the gastank before use. The only reason the car was parked was because the master cylinder developed a leak. I am sure the car will at least need the brakes all taken apart and cleaned, possibly new brake components but in a few days work you could be driving this gem while fixing it up or just enjoyit every day like it is! In the trunk I found a windshield visor, headliner material and plenty of extra chrome pieces and bumper parts. This car has hill hold, most all of you Studebaker fans know what that is, for you youngsters(anyone under 40 or so) it means the car has two brake master cylinders. One is for the regular brakes and one is for holding the car in place in case your on a hill and you do not want to roll back and hit the person behind you. You simply push the brake down and pull a lever, as soonas you start moving forward the "hill hold" brake releases. The trunk has the only rust hole thatI could see. down below the spare tire its rusted. I assume that is a common place to rust. The car rolls with ease!! On a flat surface you can push it with one hand! The original six cylinder engine has been rebuilt twice. The last rebuild the car was driven approx. 2500 miles, and was in top running condition. There are plenty of underneath pics just to show you the amazing rust free condition. Only minimal rust repair needed, a couple patches in the trunk. If your interested in restoring one then this is your next car. The solid body will save you months of work and thousands of dollars in sheet metal! Remember the Muppets save Manhattan? This car was good enough for them so it should be good enough for anybody! CHECK MY FEEDBACK and BUY with CONFIDENCE. You can give me a call at 405 620 2850. Texting is best because I work as a diesel mechanic and can not hear the phone ring most of the time. Get this car now while you can. The is the first time in 40 plus years that it has been offeredup for sale. Who knows when it will be for sale again?? Thanks for looking at this Starlight auction and have a great rest of your life!!! |
