1963 Studebaker Description

Hello, this listing is for my 1963 Studebaker Zip Van. This one is a 1 of 1 prototype with a Cerlist 3-cylinder supercharged 2-stroke Diesel Engine in it. I have had it for a couple of years and realize that I will not have any time for it for a while yet, and I am tired if seeing it just sit here. It needs a better home then I can provide for it right now. There was an article on this very van in Diesel World Magazine in 2017. I have a clear IL title in my name. I have never attempted to start it, I have no clue what it will take to get running.
The body is pretty solid, not perfect, but not terrible by any means. The lower sides of the body were damaged by the transporter who picked it up for me, as can be seen in the pictures. The drivers door needs the most work as it is a wood core with sheet metal skins,and the wood core has deteriorated. The rear door is in good shape. There a couple pieces of glass that need to be replaced, but it`s just flat glass.
The engine looks to be complete,I have never tried to start it and do not know the last time it was running. It rolls and steers. I put brand new tires on it 2-years ago and they have zero miles.
If you are looking for a really unique vehicle, then here it is. You will not find another one, because this is the only one ever made. It deserves to be restored.
I do not want to sell this, but I just have too many vehicles just sitting around.
