Car description

I originally purchased this car for my father for his 70th birthday in 2005. He recently gave to me.
Model 4H-K5--Coral Red and Ivory Mist

The car was restored by well known Studebaker restoration shop, MDS Engine Service, Bruceville Texas:
$7000.00 in parts, $4000.00 in labor:
  • 232 V-8 engine balanced and blueprinted. Valves redone and hardened for unleaded fuel. Engine and engine compartment painted according to Studebaker specifications
  • 12-volt conversion. Distributor to electronic ignition
  • Transmission, brakes, steering, gas tank, suspension rebuilt. New exhaust.
  • Wiring replaced.
  • Additional in-line fuel pump near gas tank added to prevent vapor lock issues
  • Coker tires
$ 5,000 Phantom Autoworks (Rene Harger) complete and correct Studebaker interior installed: leather seats, carpeting, door panels, headliner, wind lace
