1964 Studebaker Daytona - One Owner - Only 9,796 Original Miles -
All Documentation Since New - Original Title - 259ci V8 - 3 Speed
Manual Transmission - Black over Red - All Original, Museum Piece
Garage Kept Motors is very excited to feature the following 1964
Studebaker Daytona. The 1964 Daytona is a rare car indeed and has
slipped under the radar for many collectors. These determined
little compact cars were the youth-oriented performance option from
Studebaker and were first introduced in 1959. These cars were
comparable to the Ford Mustang in the marketplace but when equipped
with a V8 the Daytona's performance was right on par with the GTO,
a midsized car with a large V8. Needless to say, many unsuspecting
streetlight racers saw the taillights of these nimble unassuming
cars making these Studebakers literally the ultimate sleeper
especially when equipped with the optional supercharger. With only
1,500 V8-equipped hardtop cars produced these cars are also very
collectible. This particular car has only been driven 9796 miles
and has been under the same ownership since new and is in
completely original condition. This Studebaker is believed to be
one of the finest original condition cars of this make. The
59-year-old black paint has been well maintained and as expected
there are a few minor blemishes but still the finish shines with a
deep luster. Likewise, the bumper chrome is well preserved with
only some light patina and such is the case of the related
stainless and body trim which all glimmers brightly. Inside the red
interior, the original seat upholstery is still rich in color with
little if any wear on the cloth inserts. The carpet has some light
color fade, but the condition is truly amazing. The dash with its
large gauges features in one pod the oil, temperature, and amperage
and a 120 MPH speedometer in the other. The surrounding dash chrome
detail is bright and mirror-like, no plastic here, all chromed
metal. The white steering wheel rim continues the theme of white
control knobs that provide highlights to the red interior, and
honestly, this dashboard is a work of art, built back when cars had
a soul. The trunk space on this car, much like the whole car, is a
time capsule complete with original Studebaker maintenance
products. The original vinyl floor covering and spare tire cover
are present as well as the original spare tire and related tire
changing accessories. Under the hood sits the 259cid V8 looking
very close to the condition it left the showroom in. Present are
all the correct spring-style hose clamps, and the factory decals
and assembly paint markings. Power from this little V8 is
transferred to the rear differential through a three-speed manual
transmission that is column-shifted. The underbody and chassis were
lightly undercoated. It is doubtful the underside of this car has
ever seen anything but paved roads on warm sunny days. The
suspension is solid and tight as expected from such a low-mileage
car. The original ownership and history of this car is well
documented and included with the sale of this collector condition
car. Please call if interested or e-mail with specific questions.
Thank you for looking.
