These are very rare. You can steal it because we need the space...so don't miss out. This car has been totally gone through and is in tip-top condition, both inside and out. Original 8-cylinder, 289 engine runs great and starts every time. Comes with a copy of the original Build Sheet from the Studebaker Museum showing the car's final assembly date was 4/20/61 and that it was sent to Spokane, Washington. It also shows the car is and was originally Flamingo.Over $5,000 has been spent on this car in the past few years, making it a reliable driver. Since then, it has only been used in movie, TV and video shoots.

Original radio turns on, but is not getting signals (antenna connector?), original glass, original dashboard in great condition...hammered steel is shiny and reflective. Headliner is in good shape, interior is original, seats in great shape (although a little uncomfortable due to springs) Driver's side armrest in the backseat is original, but needs to be re-installed. There is a quarter-sized hole in the headliner nearly over the middle of the front seat. The truck is not latching all the way, but stays down when the car is driven due to the weight of it. This is one eye-catching car that draws plenty of attention wherever she goes. Very rare in this color combination and in this condition. This car could easily be an every day driver or just a weekend attention-getter. I am moving out some of my classic cars to make room for new ones and this car must go.
