MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer yet another stunning Studebaker – this 1947 Studebaker Champion Two Door Sedan. This handsome vehicle has benefitted from an extensive restoration in the past and it is readily apparent. With its brilliant paint job, custom interior and powerful 350 small block Chevy powerhouse, this Champion is sure to draw a crowd anywhere it may go!

This ’47 Champion is a seldom seen two door sedan that we understand was only produced for one year in this configuration. It is sure to be a hit with everyone at the next car show or cruise night. With its custom, brilliant yellow paint and black/yellow leather interior, the color combination is incredibly striking. The paint on the car is in very good condition with minimal imperfections. There is nothing major showing anywhere on this very straight and solid body. Both front and rear chrome bumpers are in excellent condition and look great with a brilliant shine. The original chrome Studebaker trim piece on the trunk lid does show some pitting but gives just a touch of originality to the otherwise custom hot rod. This is one seriously good looking car that is definitely going to turn some heads.

Inside, the custom black and yellow seats show no notable wear and are in excellent overall condition. The two tone interior with the yellow paint is a stunning color combination that is rarely seen in the Studebaker world! The black carpet is in excellent overall condition as well. Headliner, door panels and kick panels are all in wonderful condition with no major wear showing. The dashboard is color matched to the exterior paint with stainless accents. The dash houses a set of gorgeous, parchment Dolphin gauges that look awesome and all function properly. There is also an aftermarket stereo installed, along with aftermarket speakers installed beneath the rear bench seat. 

Under the hood, you will find a sleek 350 cubic inch Chevy small block V8. The former owner told us that the engine has recently been refreshed and has only had 3,000 miles put on it since completion. Mated to the motor is an automatic transmission. This car goes down the road with great power and is an excellent driver! The Studebaker sits upon a set of 14″ alloy wheels wrapped in P195/75R14 tires in the front and P215/70R14 tires in the rear. It should be noted that this Studebaker has a Mustang front end, 4-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning and heating. 



This Studebaker is an excellent driver, would make an awesome show car and wonderful addition to any garage. The VIN is 4391140 (as seen on the lower driver’s side door jamb) and the mileage currently shows 3,577. It is being sold on a clean and clear title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
