That Laurentian would make a good '60's nostalgia drag car. A bit heavy when new, but you can cut lot's of weight out of them. Arnie Beswick's '62 Catalina "swiss cheese" frame comes to mind. Make fiberglass bumpers, plexi glass, etc. It will be lighter and less work than a 53-54 car and just as cool.

I had a pile of NOS parts for that car from rear fenders to interior and damn near everything in between- Dana 60 twin traction., 4 speed conversion with a rebuilt T10, disc brake conversion etc. It was going to have a set of Radir wheels with white wall cheater slicks.

I even had NOS doggie dish caps in case I wanted that sleeper look:

The car was sold separate of all the parts. Too bad....

I don't like the 66's as much as the 63's

1966+Studebaker_1966_Commander_lr.jpg

I did have a 64 4 door as a daily driver for a short time a couple of years ago. I paid $700 for it:

I sold it to a guy in Michigan. It needed a flywheel. He decided for some reason to put a NOS trans in at the same time he did the flywheel. Well, he put a few miles on it and something gave out in the rear diff causing the drive line to lock up. The transmission case cracked and out of frustration he sent the car to the wreckers! no

That's what I had in mind for the 2 dr post Strato Chief I was trying to buy last year. 409/4 spd or 327/4 spd. Have the powertrain, just need the post car to put it in.

That Stude may not be too fast on the track. It's not exactly aerodynamic...

Carl, were not aware that you get a regular Stude sedan with the same supercharged engine as the Avanti?  Now there is real sleeper!wink

"Ask the man who owns one" - that used to be Packard's motto.  I guess Studebaker inherited that when they bought out Packard.
