Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1953 Studebaker is a custom build featuring a Chevy 305 V8 engine, TH350 transmission, and a mix of parts from various classic cars for a unique look.

Condition
4
The car is a custom build with a mix of parts from different vehicles and years. While the engine and gearbox have been upgraded, the description suggests a functional but not perfect condition. There is mention of a spare tire rim being bad, and the overall nature of a custom build often involves compromises or ongoing work, aligning with an 'Average' condition.
