Well, it had to happen sooner or later....
After 10 years of ownership and a LOT of happy miles, I decided it was time to let the Pace Car clone convertible find its way to a new home (and it almost did). With the purchase of the '63 R2 4-Speed Wagonaire in September, I knew I had to let one car go and the Pace Car was the least rare of what I have here so it drew the short straw.
I cleaned it up a bit (did not need much) and took the e-Bay photos and listed it 3 days ago. Last night, I got a call from a guy who wanted to come and look at it in person before bidding. He showed up today at noon and, lo and behold, it was the son of the guy I bought it from 10 years ago! HIS son saw it on e-Bay and just knew it was grandpa's old Studebaker and he was right. Rocky made the trip up and looked it over, heard it run and told me some fun old car stories then went home to see if he could talk his wife into one more car. It seems he did because he just hit the Buy It Now.
I am really glad to see it go somewhere that it will be cherished like a family heirloom (since that is basically what it is to them) and wish him many happy years of ownership and miles traveled.
