Please read the following!
As an enthusiast it is not my intent to offend anyone to include a potential buyer for anything I own! However. .. .
If you are interested in bad-mouthing this vehicle without taking the time to travel to see it or hear it run or to discount the restoration process or money invested that is detailed in receipts I have in my possession then simply move along.
I do not need to hear, take my time to review or respond to anyone that states they (1) are an authority, (2) work for a museum committee interested in finding unique vehicles or have a long history as being a collector unless you/they are willing to take the time to review all the documents I have detailing the committed effort to restore and maintain this vehicle.
Unless prepared to invest in a nicely restored Champion Coupe that is a #10 for being restored and maintained in a climate controlled environment then look elsewhere for the vehicle you would like to purchase!
Having been an enthusiast, collector and driver of vintage cars, trucks and motorcycles for over 40 years, I am providing an honest representation of a nicely restored 1951 Studebaker Champion Regal Coupe!
If you are looking for a $10, 000 car that will require over $30, 000 in a frame off restoration, mechanical rebuild and years of your life to complete and all for $10, 000 this is not the car for you!
If you are looking for a nice car to drive today that requires nothing other than turning the key, then invest in the comfort of knowing your money will be well invested!
Anyone seriously interested will understand this stance and understand the position.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I have zip folders of pictures I can send if a bidder provides a name, telephone number and valid email address!
At this time I do not use photobucket or similar. Zip folders are available!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I have not driven this vehicle since acquiring it due to other commitments!
Once the carburetor is primed sufficiently and warmed up for daily use, it starts easily.
Emergency brake and regular brake and clutch operate easily and as normal!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
No warranty is expressed or implied!
Tennessee title!
Available for sale locally, I have the option to end the auction early!
