Reader Bill G found this Studebaker in a barn where it had been parked for over 30 years. It didn’t take much to get it running but will need work to be a driver. Be sure to take a look and message Bill via the form below. The car is located in Irvington, Illinois and he’s asking $7,500 or best offer.
Asking Price: $7,500
Location: Irvington, Illinois
Mileage: 59,000
Title Status: Clean
VIN: G1136162
Seller’s Description: It’s a two-door that runs great and has seen just 59k miles! It has been parked in a barn for the past 33 years. While the engine in the car runs great, it also comes with a spare engine and transmission.
Body Condition: No rust. There are a few small dents and it was repainted in the early sixties.
Mechanical Condition: The car will need its brakes gone through. The engine runs nicely and is very quiet. The fuel system will need to be cleaned to be a reliable driver though.
Unfortunately, Bill L isn’t able to get us additional photos of his Studebaker. It could prove to be an awesome find for a great price, but without more photos, it’s hard to be certain. It looks nice in the photo he did provide, so it might just be worth taking a look at in person. Just be sure to let us know if you have a look!

Only one picture on a trailer in front of a carwash stall with rust and pitting on some of the brightwork already for $7500? Can’t be another lazy flipper…….
Paint the rims yellow and put John Deere period style logo on the doors. It would be a real hit at antique tractor shows, especially in the Moline area.
Ha that’s funny and your right.
That has to be the absolute worst color I’ve ever seen on a Studebaker.

Actually, this is in amazing condition considering its age. I’d strip the paint; a horrible shade of green on any car. It suffers from ‘Korean Chrome’ which is the lesser material cars in `51-`52 were built with due to the war; at least the trim pieces are intact, and the overall condition isn’t bad at all. The first owners took care of this one.
woo doggies this ones hard to look at.! Either its still wet or somebody did an Earl scheib on it. Seems pricey but there are a lot of Stude fans out there. Good luck to the new owner!!!

Gas, that actually looks like one of the standard colors in the Earl Scheib chart.
For $10 more one could get reds and metallics [and some sanding prep].
We went for matador red for my 1960 Morris Minor!
Sure looks like Earl’s handiwork. I had a 1950 ford back in the sixties painted about the same color. lol
I had a ’52 red convertible in ’59. Really enjoyed it. Too young and too dumb to take care of it!
