1955 Studebaker E7 Old-school Truck


1955 Studebaker E7 Truck For Sale

Here's found this one was listed in Craigslist looking for new owner, a classic American lighter truck that was made by Studebaker in 1955, were is has been rebuild but not perfect still need some work to be done but it's already cools as a daily driver car.

According to the current owner, the truck's engine has been modernized using a fuel injected big block Chevy 454 paired with a Turbo 400 trans, and a deliberate patina look for old-school grandeur also looks more charming with wide wheels that are slightly lowered suspension.


This one E Series of Studebaker trucks build in 1955 known as E7 pickup truck still looks dashing today. The cost of parts and restoration of these vehicles are increasing daily (No need to think about it because the motor has been modernized). More looking coolest on the streets, they are not making any more and, therefore, they are becoming more rare by the day.


The interior has been rebuilt to, all looks clean in mate black color. Hope it's not just a decoration, all the instruments on the cab should be work properly, because of that's will make new owner very happy with. These rare and stylish pieces of Americana are not becoming any more common, or any less collectible.

I found this RARE Jeep in an old barn 35 years ago. Bought it and had the motor, etc., rebuilt at a professional machine shop. . . Had it rewired. . . reupholstered. . . new exhaust system and much more. Drove it for probably 10 miles and had a little problem with the carb (needle valve adjustment). Parked it in a shed, and that's where it's been since. I still don't have time for toys. This Jeep has the original HARD TOP - DOORS - RADIATOR PROTECTOR. Body has NO RUST. It has always been under cover.

A rare find! I have a lot more than $5000 in it.
