1960 Studebaker Champ - need help quickly

[Rogillio]

Going to look at a 1960 Studebaker Champ this afternoon as potential restoration project.

Few quick questions:

1. How difficult is it to get parts for this truck?

2. I've never even heard of this vehicle, are they rare or faily common?

3. Anything I should look for when I go look at it today?

4. The guy said it ran 5 years ago when it parked it.

5. Assuming the engine is not frozen, how much is this worth? Just ballpark estimate?

You should post this on the Studebaker Drivers Club forum. This forum is mainly prewar vehicles.

The hardest items to find are new front fenders.

If they are not rotted out and the floors are good and the price is right

buy it.

An 8 Cylinder is a plus.

They are not uncommon but quite popular.

I stock most parts for these trucks and own one.

What is the asking price?

Asking $2,500. He says it was running when he parked it 5 years ago.

Steel fenders can still be found, and are also being reproduced in fiberglass.
