For Sale: 1953 Studebaker Champion in Ft Worth, Texas

A 3.5-inch chop transforms this '53 Studebaker Champion into pure street rod royalty. The two-tone Candy Red Metallic and Maroon shades are separated by a gold painted pinstripe which accentuates every curve, while clear frenched headlights, shaved door handles and custom sport mirrors with side vent-window deletes add modern flair. The low-slung stance comes alive on staggered Foose wheels - 19s up front with Goodyear 245/35ZR19s and massive 20s out back rolling on Michelin 285/30ZR20s. Modified front fenders and a shaved hood create a clean, uninterrupted flow that separates this Stude from the pack.

Inside, the two-tone tan and black interior brings street rod style into the 21st century. Power seats offer perfect positioning while custom gauges from Livorsi light up the wood-grain dash. A banjo wheel on the tilt column adds old-school cool, and the custom center console keeps everything within reach. Modern A/C and power windows blend comfort with classic style.

The 454 LS Bowie small block, built by Mast Motorsports, packs fuel-injected power through a 6L90E six-speed automatic to a Ford 9-inch rear. The Art Morrison chassis features tubular A-arms, adjustable coilovers, and sway bars that put this Stude's power to the pavement. Four-wheel power discs with electric boost handle stopping duties, while long tube headers feed a growling dual exhaust system.
