1949 Studebaker – 392 Hemi V8 – Built by Gene Burkland – Ready to Drive
This is not just a classic car, this is a piece of American motorsport history. This stunning 1949 Studebaker carries under its hood a 392 cubic inch Hemi V8 engine reportedly built by none other than Gene Burkland, the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats racer from Great Falls, Montana. A name known and respected throughout the land speed racing world, having a Burkland built engine under your hood is as special as it gets in the classic car hobby.
The combination of the iconic and timeless Studebaker body with a genuine Bonneville pedigree Hemi V8 creates something truly extraordinary. This is a car with a real story, real history, and real performance behind it that sets it apart from every other classic in any room it enters.
It shows very well throughout, presenting cleanly and correctly from every angle. Starts up nicely, runs strong, and drives great. No projects, no issues, just a turn key classic with serious horsepower that is ready to drive and enjoy exactly as it sits today.
A car with this kind of provenance and performance rarely comes to market. The combination of iconic 1949 Studebaker styling and a legendary Bonneville built Hemi is simply impossible to replicate.
Own a piece of American racing history. Do not let this one slip away.
