for sale

Price: US $200.00

Description:

For sale is a 1953 Studebaker 2R5 pickup. This pickup is unique piece of Nebraska history. On June 3, 1980 a F4 tornado hit the city of Grand Island, NE, killing 5 people and injuring hundreds. In addition hundreds of homes and businesses were leveled in by this tragic tornado. A novel was later written, and then a move made about this storm, both titled The Night of The Twisters This Stude was parked in a garage attached to a house that was completely destroyed by the tornado. According to the previous owner, the house and garage were blown away and the Stude was the only thing that was left. The hood, top, cab and fenders all have dents in them from the storm. Luckily the pickup was not totaled and still has a clean original title. The pickup has a Chevy 350, TH350, and a 10 bolt rear end out of a 73 Impala. It was last licensed in 1990 and the motor is stuck. There is rust right in front of the drivers door, floorboards, rear fenders, and bed. The cab corners are actually pretty good. This pickup would make a really cool rat rod that has all the V8 transplant hard work done, and has a very cool story to go with it! Once again this pickup has a clean and transferable title.
