248 MPH STUDEBAKER FOR SALE

[GH]

Well here goes. I would like to build a new car for the GMC 6 that I built last winter. I would entertain the thoughts of selling my current car #787 Studebaker, after I get into the 200 mph club next speed week. The car ran 4 times this past speed week, the fastest exit speed was 242.3 mph. The turbo chargers are too small for the engine, so I am going to install 2 larger turbos this winter. I would help the new owner or owners with the car at speed week. If interested, email me at garyhartracing@yahoo.com. The selling price is $49,500.00.

Gary.................Why did you jinx yourself??? You know better than that...JD

JD, I know I had a weird feeling about it, but I wanted to feel out the possibilities. The car ran so good this summer and with larger turbos, I think it will get the job done.

For any interested folks -- please note that this car can run on the Salt -- and also on the pavement at Maxton.  I've seen it there, too -- right, Gary?

If I were a four-wheel kind of guy I'd give it serious thought -- having parked next to it, in impound, more than once.

That is a good looking car, I would have considered it if I had just not bought a 53 Stude to start work on!!!

The post came a few weeks to late. (plus I have to have the cage built so I can get in and out) and on a go fast car like that it is much more involved...

Good looking Car,, I sure  hope it sells to someone who can appreciate it...

Very COOL car,who ever gets it will get one heck of a ride

For those interested, this car has a megasquirt EMS that's been carefully mapped on a loadbearing dyno.   No effort was spared on making this a reliable runner, in fact the engine is 100% streetworthy.  Nothing against Gary, but if your wife can handle a four speed - she can drive this car easily.

It makes flat torque off idle all the way to 6000rpm.  When we're done with the new turbos, it'll pull harder up top but still maintain complete drivability.   Our theory in tuning this one was NOT to go with "gigantic" turbos that make crazy peak horsepower, instead we tuned it so that 3/4 throttle = 3/4 power, 1/2 throttle = 1/2 power, etc. making it a very drivable combo on the salt.  This car is a great example of a proper running EFI car with impeccable manners.   It starts without throttle on a cold winter day and idles like granny's oldsmobile.  I'm proud of how it runs and would be happy to help the future owners with any questions or help they needed.

I'll vouch for all of the above.  I've been at Gary's in Missouri in the dead of winter when the car has been sitting and it starts instantly.  I've ridden shotgun in it down some of the local country roads there with a big grin on my face.  Great car and besides getting Gary in the 2 club I'll bet it gets some others in down the road,

This may or may not be the new car.

Looks like a bulletnose Land Cruiser. Plan on chopping the top?

[GH]

aircap, I'm told that a Land Cruiser has a vent window in the rear door. I'm not about to try a top chop, i'm too lazy....

[SPARKY]

looks like the fender badge may say Comander

[Stan Back]

I believe the Land Cruisers also had a little bit longer wheelbase (for stability over 200?).

[Bob Drury]

With the addition of a propeller on the bullet, you would run in the Propster Class (open record) with minimal competition..........

[GH]

Stability over 200?? with a 6 banger GMC??? I think not... should be fun anyway....
