Beware this seller. Larry Brown Quincy Illinois

It's your own fault.

If you had done your homework -like you KNOW you should have - you would not have gotten screwed.

I've got more bad news for you. That car has a Ford Y-block motor in it. I'm not too sure what Studebaker used for motors, but I do know they were far more closely related to General Motors than Ford.

Also, the alternator is incorrect for 1963. It should have a generator.

Let this be a lesson to you. If a long distance seller starts hemming and hawing about photos, run as fast as you can. Obviously, you know this now.

After looking at this guy's website, it's obvious that he's a complete Bozo. He wants thousands of dollars for cars that have trees growing through them. Don't blame anybody but yourself for getting taken.

He wants two grand for a bubble window pinto wagon sitting in a scrap yard with weeds growing in it. And it's been hit too!

He wants $2200 for a maverick that is completely surrounded by weeds. And even with the two crappy photos I can tell the only use I might have for it is parts.... although the hood looks like it has a comet GT hood scoop on it. That might be worth a few dollars. But given various other clues it's probably just an ordinary 6 cylinder car.

The falcon vert might be a nice project, but of course he's asking way too much for it.

I am guessing this guy bought an old junkyard and now expects to make a killing.

So far.. looks like he IS making a killing... Kate

I was really only posting this here so that the web crawlers could find it later. That way Larry will show up when someone else does a search. I wasn't that lucky......Although it's also nice to get the helpful comments of some people who don't have anything better to do than to try to be the top dogs in an Internet News Group.

Oh... and it doesn't have a Y Block Ford motor in it. It's a 63 Stude

289 V8 with the intake and carb from a 58 Hawk. The 63 Hawk also does have an Alternator. This car has already been looked over by some very good Stude guys.

Studebaker can call it anything it wants, but that's a 292 Ford Y-block. I've seen enough of them to know what one looks like.

Well if you're going to be *that* way, we are the top dogs of this particular Usenet group and *you* are a spammer technically.

Dude, you're the one who posted the information. Yeah, the guy's a slimeball, but you made some major mistakes yourself. If you're going to post the information, then you've got to take some criticism for your share of the problem, as well. If you can't take responsibility for your portion of the problem (e.g., ignoring the glaring warning signals), then don't post next time.

Better to be a top dog, than the WHINER under the porch.

All cattiness aside. Good luck with your restoration. If you look at the positive, you may have a load of fun with it. The harder a project is the more you learn from it.

Out in the woods beyond our property is an old Studebaker. It's laying there upside down in a pile of pine needles just rusting away.
