1953 STUDEBAKER COUPE ENGINE IS A R2 LONG BLOCK CLOVERLEAF ENGINE (SERVICE ENGINE) HAS WCFB CARB ENGINE HAS BEEN FIRED SOUNDS GOOD CONSIDERING OLD WIRES AND OLD CARB THAT HAS BEEN SITTING A LONG TIME. HAS SOME BLOW BY BUT WOULD PROBALLY CLEAR UP AFTER MORE RUNNING TIME (PROBALLY A STUCK RING). BRAKES AND FUEL SYSTEM SHOULD BE GONE THROUGH BEFORE TRYING TO DRIVE EXCEPT IN THE DRIVEWAY. 4-SPEED FROM A 1961 OR 1962 (WIDE OR CHEVY BOLT PATTERN TRANS) 3.31 OPEN REAR THIS CAR HAS BEEN STORED FOR A LONG TIME AND SOME PARTS WERE SOLD OFF. THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE DIFFERENT COLOR HOOD. VERY RESTORABLE CAR. FLOOR IS A LITTLE WEAK WITH A FIST SIZE HOLE OBVIOUS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. PASSENGER SIDE IS BETTER. REST OF FLOOR IS REAL GOOD. TRUNK HAS A COUPLE SMALL RUST THROUGH AND TWO HOLES HAVE BEEN CUT OR PUNCHED, NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED THERE. TRUNK LID, DOORS, QUARTERS AND ROCKERS ARE SOLID. RIGHT FRONT FENDER GOOD WITH LITTLE RUST. LEFT FRONT HAS MORE RUST BUT UNCLEAR AS TO HOW MUCH DUE TO UNFINISHED BONDO. HOOD IS FROM ANOTHER SOURCE AND IS VERY NICE WITH CLASSIC ENTERPRISES CORNER REINFORCEMENTS. LEFT FRONT GRILL NOT SAVABLE RIGHT FRONT GRILL MAY BE SAVABLE, NOT SURE. GT HAWK DASH AND LATE MODEL BIGGER BRAKES WOULD HOPE THAT CAR REMAIN ALL STUDEBAKER, BUT IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BRAND X POWER, I WILL BE INTERESTED IN KEEPING ENGINE AND TRANS. WILL REBATE AN AGREED AMOUNT TO THE BUYER.
