1928 STUDEBAKER DICTATOR 6 CYLINDER, MANUAL TRANSMISSION 63,600 ORIGINAL MILES 4 DOOR SEDAN PRIOR TO ME THIS WAS A ONE - FAMILY OWNED CAR. THE GENTLEMAN I PURCHASED THIS FROM, HIS GRANDFATHER PURCHASED THIS NEW. IT WAS IN THEIR FAMILY UNTIL RECENTLY. THE BODY ON THIS CAR IS VERY SOLID AND HAS HAD VERY MINOR BODY WORK OVER THE YEARS. AT ONE TME IT WAS REPAINTED BLACK. IT HAS BEEN PROBABLY FORTY SOME YEARS AGO. IT IS VERY SOLID AND REALLY DOESNT NEED ANY BODYWORK. THE PAINT IS SHOWING ITS AGE BUT STILL HAS A GOOD SHINE, AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICTURES. THE BUMPERS AND GRILL HAVE BEEN PAINTED SILVER. THE WHEELS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. THE TIRES STILL HOLD AIR AND HAVE GOOD TREAD, BUT ARE DEFINITELY WEATHER CRACKED. ALL OF THE GLASS IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND IS NOT CRACKED OR EVEN MILKY AROUND THE EDGES. THERE IS A SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL MOUNTED ON THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE VINYL ROOF IS STILL INTACH BUT IS SHOWING WEAR. IT DOES HAVE SOME CRACKS AND UNDER THE VISOR IT IS TORN AND SORT OF SHRUNKEN SOME. THE INTERIOR IS IN DECENT SHAPE. THE HEADLINER SEATS AND DOOR PANELS ARE DECENT. NOT SURE IF THEY ARE COMPLETELY ORIGINAL OR NOT. IN VERY GOOD CONDITION CONSIDERING THEY COULD BE 86 YEARS OLD. THE WINDOW CRANKS AND INTERIOR DOOR LEVERS ARE MOSTLY MISSING. I BELIEVE THER MIGHT BE ONE OR TWO. THE HORN STILL WORKS. THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE ALL INTACH. SOME OF THE GAUGES DO WORK. THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL ENGINE, TRANS AND DRIVETRAIN. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE CORRECT. THE CAR RUNS, DRIVES, AND THE BRAKES WORK. THE CARBURETOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IS NOT ORIGINAL. THE CAR SAT IN STORAGE FOR YEARS AND YEARS. WHEN PURCHASED IT DID NOT RUN. I INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY, FUEL PUMP, (THE CAR HAS AN ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP CONVERSION), FILTER, SPARK PLUGS AND THE CAR FIRED RIGHT UP. I DROVE THE CAR SOME AND IT EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF. I REMOVED THE CARB, CLEANED IT, AND REASSEMBLED IT, AND IT NOW RUNS AGAIN. IT DOES NEED A NEW CARB OR FOR IT TO BE REBUILT. THE GASKETS AND SEALS ARE SHOT. IT ALSO LEAKS GAS. IT DOES RUN, IDLE AND CAN BE DRIVEN AT IDLE SPEEDS. THE CAR SMOKED AT FIRST AND THEN DIDNT REALLY SMOKE AFTER IT WAS RAN AWHILE. IT DOES HAVE AN EXHAUST LEAK AT THE MANIFOLD. THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL OF ANCIENT GAS. I DRILLED A HOLE IN THE DRAIN PLUG AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK AND DRAINED IT. I HAVE BEEN RUNNING THE CAR OFF OF A CAN OF GAS. THE FUEL TANK NEEDS FLUSHED AND A NEW PLUG PUT IN IT. I DID NOT MESS UP THE THREADS ON THE BOSS. IF I HAVE TIME AND CAN FIND A COMPATIBLE REPLACEMENT CARB, I WILL PURCHASE AND INSTALL IT. IF I CAN'T BUYER GETS IT AS IT IS. ALL OF THE SUSPENSION APPEARS TO BE COMPLETE AND IN DECENT SHAPE. IT BRAKES, STEERS AND TURNS AS IT SHOULD. THIS CAR IS A NEAT OLD ORIGINAL CAR IN RESTORABLE CONDITION OR DRIVEN AS A "SURVIVOR". WITH A LITTLE BIT OF TLC IT WOULDNT TAKE MUCH FOR THIS TO BE BACK ON THE ROAD. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING SOLD AS -IS ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY. I BELIEVE THE TITLE IS ON THE WAY. IT WAS NECESSARY TO GO THROUGH SOME HEIRS TO GET THE TITLE RESOLVED AND REGISTERED TO THE LAST OWNER. IT IS APPARENTLY REMEDIED AND IF AND WHEN I RECEIVE THE TITLE IT WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE BUYER. BUT.. I AM OFFERING THE CAR ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY. I WOULD LIKE 2000 DOWN IN 2-3 DAYS AND BALANCE PRIOR TO PICKUP. PLEASE BID TO BUY AS IT IS FOR SALE LOCALLY. THE CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION ANY TIME AND IS LOCATED IN CENTRAL PA. WILL ACCEPT ANY TYPE OF CERTIFIED FUNDS. THANKS FOR LOOKING!
