Offered for auction/sale is my... 1966 Studebaker Cruiser This car is very unique in that its history is completely known. It was originally sold by King Bros. in Oro Grande, CA April 15, 1966 to a Barstow, CA resident. He and his wife drove the car until his passing when his wife garaged the car. I knew her personally and when my parents had to stop motor-homing, my father bought it for a hobby project. He got it running and cleaned up and entered it into the Studebaker Driver’s Club International show at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA where it won second in class for being so original. My father later had it re-painted including engine compartment and trunk. It was reupholstered including the headliner and carpeted inside and in the trunk. When he could no longer drive, it was transferred to me. I am the 3rd registered owner of the car. 1966 was the last year of production for Studebaker and it was built in Canada where Studebaker operated during 1965 and 1966. Only about 3,500 Cruisers were made in 1966. The engine is a GM 283 V8 (Chevy 283 parts work and are readily available). Studebaker has a strong following so many NOS and aftermarket parts are available. The car has less than 60,000 actual miles on it. The vinyl top finally had to be replaced in the fall of 2011. Drive train is completely original and it runs very good. No known accidents. It has factory air conditioning (works great), power steering and brakes, 3 speed automatic trans, front disc brakes, and original working AM radio. Both bumpers have minor dents but you have to look close to notice them. Clock does not work. Original window stickers, owner’s manual, advertising brochures, service schedule book and other written material will come with the car. The car is for sale locally and has a reserve set on the auction. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Pickup, delivery, registration and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer. Appropriate payment must be received within 10 days of close of auction. A $500 deposit will be required to be made through PayPal within 48 hours after close of auction.
