    Hi, I'm Kelly Brickey and Butch is my 1963 Studebaker Wagonaire. I bought him in 1996 and he's always been a driver. 259 v-8, 3 speed on the tree, overdrive, 3.31 twin-traction rear.
    I've installed dual exhausts, an aluminum Avanti timing gear ( allegedly,fiber gears can shred) Edelbrock 500 cfm 4 bbl modified original distributor with Mopar innards and GM HEI module.
    He's currently getting new paint, and I can't wait for the next cross-country road trip!
    Here's a youtube link, mid-project:

    Welcome from a fellow new guy, Kelly. That's a cool wagon. Looking forward to seeing recent pics. That vid's about a couple years old so I'll bet there's been quite a transformation since then.

    Welcome to the madness! That's a great looking Studebaker! Engine color? Those valve covers were gold from the factory? :Welcome:

    I like these sliding roof Studebakers. I know we have a few members here that own them, but I've only seen one or two at car shows over the years.
