This little piece of awesomeness was on eBay about a month or so ago, and I was so moved I had to save a couple of pics:





Had a blown 514CI Ford, all the stuff to get the groceries.  [evil]

And then to the gas station.

Blown 514 would really drop some torque :D

What'd it go for?
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

As I recall it was in the mid-20s with a day or so to go, and the auction ended. Must have gotten a nice offer.

My bad, apparently it had a 532 (see fenders)....all I remembered was it was 500+. 514, 532, it's all good.  :)

Dude, that's a Stude.  ;D
Although I had *no* idea what it was, I was just professing my lust for the Ford and Willy's of the time.   [thumbsup]  Never got far enough into Studebakers to pick them out of a crowd. (except for the later models..)
Sometimes when you say no, you really mean YES, that is why we have the safe word.. "FLÃœGGÃ...ÆŽNKâˆ,â,¬ÄŒHIÅ'βØL∫ÊN"  If at any time the pleasure is too much, simply say the safe word, and we will stop"
