THIS STUDEBAKER DELUXE CHAMPION RETRO COUPE HAS A CLEAN STEALTHY APPEARENCE THAT ATTRACTS LOOKS WHERE EVER IT GOES. WHILE ITS APURE STUDE ON THE OUTSIDE IT POCESSES A MODERN DRIVE TRAIN AND INTERIOR ON THE INSIDE.

THE INTERIOR IS FROM A CADILLAC WITH BLUE LEATHER BUCKET POWER SEATS, INDOW, OORS ETC. ALL ARE IN EXCELLANT CONDITION EXCEPT FOF A SMALL PATCH ON AN ARM REST. THE A/C RUNS QUIET AND COLD. THE INSTRUMENTS IN THE CUSTOM DASHALL WORK RIGHT EXCEPT FOR THE CLOCK. THE AM/FM/CD RADIO HAS CUSTOM SPEAKERS AND THERE IS A .DISK CD RACK IN THE TRUNK WHICH IS MISSING THE CARTERIDGE. THE MODIFIED WOOD STEERING WHEEL FITS UP LOOSE BUT IS SECURE AND WORKS WELL.
THE CHEVROLET SMALL BLOCK V/8 IS MODIFIED WITH CAST IRON HEADERS, DELBROOK IN-TAKE MANIFOLDS, ARBURATOR, ND VALVE COVERS. IN ADDITION TOTHE ENGINE THEAUTOMATIC TRANSMISSON AND DRIVE TRAIN ALL HAVE ONLY 16.5K MILES ANDS RUNS AND DRIVES EXCELLANT. THE DUEL EXHAUST SOUNDS DEEP BUT NOT LOUD.
