This is a one of one custom built street rod in a brilliant 60s corvette turquoise Metallic paint. Body is super straight and show condition on all exterior trim and moldings. High technology build with endless advanced engineering in all aspects. Sound of the Studebaker side exhaust is incredible as it gets down the road. Stance has got a very aggressive appearance with the offset wheels giving the car a lot of personality and attitude. What a blast to drive this pavement pounding rocket plus the crowds she draws at shows and events is epic.

A build like this would take a budget of over $200K and years to complete. This 53 Studebaker comes with a massive amount of documentation and specs that have been meticulously filed.
