Looking for a new home for my 71 Dodge SOLD (sort of)

1971 Dodge Sweptline short bed pickup or sale.
The good news.
Clean body, great running 318, dual exhaust, working air conditioning, new tires.

The bad news.
Needs floor repair work done. Steering column/transmission linkage has some issues. Weak fuel pump.

I drove it daily when I first bought it until I bought a 78 GMC pickup. This is a great little truck and if I did not need a bigger truck for my needs I would sell the GMC and keep the Dodge, I really hate to see this one go, but I need to cut down on projects.
I have a lot of info on replacements parts (like floor pans for $134), forums and photos to go with the truck. More photos of truck per request. Truck is located in Tucumcari, New Mexico about 115 miles west of Amarillo, Texas on interstate 40.

This would make a great teardrop hauler.

Well daddy got a new project (like I really needed one). Nice trade. I always wanted a bullet-nose.

I have all the trim, lenses, and replacement right front fender. Now I just need to get the Sidewinder done so I can build my teardrop hauler.

Nice Stude! I always liked those bullet noses too! What body is it? Sedan or Starlite Coupe? That will be great pulling a teardrop!
:thumbsup:

I used to think 57 chevies were great... now, I'd much rather have a stude golden hawk.... I think they were just too futuristic for their times.... now they look great... low and swoopy..

It's a four door sedan, flathead 6 with 85 horses. I love the suicide rear doors. The man I got it from has a 48-49 Starlight with a bullet nose to bolt on, it has the turret top and is a two door with a locked up v8 (also for sale). He has quite a few "Studes" of different models and years, some cool lark wagons as well.

The later model t-bird looking Studebaker cars were really cool.

I still can't believe that I own a bullet nose, I never thought that he would trade the car for the truck and just asked him on a whim and the deal was done. I found myself waking up twice very early this morning staring out the window at it. :R
