This is Sunday August 2nd 2020, The car last ran at approx three pm CST today.
I am not bragging at all here but when I say your future car is in good hands it really is. I am 57. Took my first engine apart at 14 years old. (327 chevy) put it all back together and it ran. Drag raced (at the dragstrip) from 16 years old to around 45 years old) All my life have been amazed at mechanical things and learning how to make them better and faster. Been a diesel mechanic for the last 10 years. So your future car is in good hands!
Best of all,, been a seller on ebay over 20 years. Have over 650 POSITIVE feedbacks.
Sold and shipped cars all over the world. Sold the very first 1967 Camaro ever built on ebay approx 10 years ago. Ok, those last few sentences were bragging a little!

When I first inspected the engine after sitting for approx 20 years it turned overby hand. I mean it was smooth, not stuck at all even in the least little bit. I put marvel oil in every cylinder just to be safe. Rotated the engine several times by hand. Put a 12 volt battery in her that has one bad cell so it only has 10 volts. After putting a prime in the carb It turned over twice and she came to life.
I have the fuel line unhooked from the carb to gravity feed the carb. I could not believe my eyes the unhooked fuel line from the pump actually started putting out 20 year old gas.
The only reason the car was parked was because the master cylinder developed a leak. I am sure the car will at least need the brakes all taken apart and cleaned, possibly new brake components but in a few days work you could be driving this gem while fixing it up or just enjoyit every day like it is!
In the trunk I found a windshield visor,headliner material and plenty of extra chrome pieces and bumper parts. This car has hill hold, most all of you Studebaker fans know what that is, for you youngsters(anyone under 40 or so) it means the car has two brake master cylinders. One is for the regular brakes and one is for holding the car in place in case your on a hill and you do not want to rollback and hit the person behind you. You simply push the brake down and pull a lever, as soonas you start moving forward the "hill hold" brake releases. The trunk has the only rust hole thatI could see. down below the spare tire its rusted. I assume that is a common place to rust. The car rolls with ease!!
On a flat surface you can push it with one hand!
The original six cylinder engine has been rebuilt twice. The last rebuild the car was driven approx. 2500 miles, and was in top running condition.

There are plenty of underneath pics just to show you the amazing rust free condition. Onlyminimal rust repair needed, a couple patches in the trunk.
If your interested in restoring one then this is your next car. The solid body will save youmonths of work and thousands of dollars in sheet metal!

Remember the Muppets save Manhattan? One of these Starliner was in that movie and thecar was good enough for the Muppets then it will be good enough for anybody. I keep thinking how cool would it have been to ride in the backseat of this car, you wouldget a unique view to say the least.
CHECK MY FEEDBACK and BUY with CONFIDENCE. You can give me a call at 405 620 2850. Texting is best because I work as a diesel mechanic and cannot hear the phone ring most of the time. Get this car now while you can. The is the first time in 40 plus years that it has been offeredup for sale. Who knows when it will be for sale again??
Lucky buyer to pay shipping or come and get it, I can help get it on a trailer.

Thanks for looking at this Starlight auction and have a great rest of your life!!!
( that goes for you guys in the Studebaker club as well) :)
