1953 Studee 2 dr. coupe. This car runs and drives but I have not even had it on the street so I have no idea if it is ready for a road trip. I had the gas tank redone as someone else tried to repair it and the pickup tube was plugged with tank liner. I also put on new wires, fuel pump (electric), and a new HEI distributor. I added the wheels and tires as well. The engine is a 350 Chevrolet with a turbo 350. The front brakes have been changed over to disc brakes. This was someones old hot rod at some point. The dash has aftermarket gauges and the door panels are still diamond tuck. There has been some repair work on the front floors but the frame is solid and the trunk is also in good condition-only one small rust hole by the rear passenger side trunk area. The body is quite straight but the paint is tired and some is faded. I tried to buff the hood but it did not go very well. Perhaps a wet sanding and buffing would help. These cars are very hard to find in decent condition. Most are either rust buckets or have already been rebuilt-not much available in the middle. The car has been sitting for a long time and will need a tranny pan gasket-it leaks. The front windshield is also cracked. I have the rear bumper-just forgot to take a picture. The headlight bezels and center grill inserts and the back bumper have been rechromed. I have 4 of the grill surrounds but they are pitted as they all pretty much are-pot metal-so they will need a redo, but even those are getting difficult to locate. The front and rear seats were reupholstered by the previous owner as well. The interior trim has been painted to match. I love this car but just do not have the time to get it done and have other cars that need my time so I would like to find the car a good home. I searched for 2 years to find one that was in good enough shape to start with and found this car in Colorado. Feel free to call me with questions. Thank you, Dean cell 701-205-6906
