This car, with only 119 Kms on the clock, sold in NZ for NZ$56,000.
I think someone got a bargain!

There doesn't appear to be any pics but.

56K for a car you're not "allowed" to drive?

I cannot call that a bargain! But it'll give you bragging rights for sure.

The buyer would be allowed to drive it.
It's just that it hasn't been registered, or 'in the system', for so long it would need to be recertified before it can be allowed on the road again.

And that's time consuming and frustrating.

(Don't even ask, don't even think about asking, as to how I know that!)

I saw that on the net earlier, I just don't remember where. I doubt it would have brought more if had been through Barrett-Jackson or Mecum here in the states. It's a nice original car, but nothing special and it has 4 doors. This new generation has been spoon fed this 4 dr BS and they can keep it. None of the guys I ran around with wouldn't have looked at a 4 dr once let alone twice.

Here's a link to the photos of THE 58 STUDEBAKER CHAMPION Not my cup o' tea, but I guess the buyer likes it.
