I met the owner of these cars several years back at a car show in Martinsburg WV, when I talked with him about his Diesel Lark. He invited me over to show me his collection. His health has taken a turn for the worse and one of his friends, whose email addy is below, is helping Torey and his wife sell off the collection. The list below is only a handful of all that he has. These cars all ran and were driven to where they are parked. The current list is of the Studebakers, there are a few mopars and packards and amc's in the mix as well. Sorry no duece coupes, model As, or Ts. The oldest car I saw was a 1940. The property is very close to MARTINSBVURG WV, and a short distance from I-81. The following link will take you to the original post on the Studebaker Drivers Club Website. Anything that has scrap beside it is $290(thats what the local crusher will give) most of the projects are $500 or less, the drivers Im still trying to get prices on...... http://forum.studebakerdriversclub....rrey-Kirby-s-cars-are-on-eBay&highlight=torey ***MODS please dont delete this ad, Im just trying to save some old iron from the crusher, I didnt want to post it in the classifieds as I have no prices to list since they are not my vehicles, THANKS!*** the current list: ‘64 Stude Commander 2 door, red , 289, 4-speed, bench seat. rough, but unusual and collectible (SOLD on eBay) ’64 Stude Commander 4 door white, in garage,, believed to be 6 cyl 3-speed, driven more recently ’47-’49 Champion 4-dr gray, in garage, looks decent (at least through the garage window) ’58 Stude 4-door, in garage, believed to be President Classic, poor paint and pitted chrome ’65 Commander 4-door, brown, A/T, rust in fenders, hood, stuck, fairly solid, don’t know if 6 or V8 ’58 Commander 4-dr, multi-colored, A/T, radio, not much rust, hood stuck ’64 Commander 2-dr, blue, A/T, rough, key in ignition, broken window ’59-’60 Lark 2-dr blue, A/T, fairly complete ’58 Commander 4-dr, black, locked, Stick, fairly complete, moderate rust ’63 Wagonaire, blue, sliding roof, moderate rust ’52 Champion 4-dr, medium green, A/T, fairly solid, many parts in back and trunk ‘54 Champion Coupe, light blue, no serial plate, extremely rusty, some $$ parts ’63 Lark Regal 4-dr, light blue, 6 cyl, stick, bad rust ’61 Lark convertible, yellow w/red interior, V8, well equipped, extreme rust, ’51 4-dr, light blue, Believe Regal Champion, stick, radio, fairly solid ’50 Champion 4-dr, Usable parts ’57 President Classic, turquoise/white, A/T, clock, very rusty, some usable parts ’59-’60 Lark 4-dr, blue, V-8, 2 bbl, A/T, radio, fairly solid, parts car ’40 Commander 4-dr, extreme surface rust, rusty body- scrap ’55 Commander 4-dr, OD, clock, usable grille ’62 Lark Regal 4-dr, A/T, split recliners w/headrests, pb radio, moderate rust ’64 Commander 4-dr, blue, no engine/trans, fairly solid, sell as parts car ‘63 Lark Regal 4-dr, white, no serial plate, 6 cyl, stick, radio, usable front fenders ’56 Pres Classic 4-dr, AT, pb radio, clock, wheel covers, much rust, very shabby Zip Van (first), no serial plate, complete, but very rusty, some parts, scrap Zip Van (second), same description, rusty, some parts, scrap ’63 Lark Regal 2-dr, white, 6 w/stick, very rusty, parts car, scrap ’62 Lark wagon, blue, AT, 6, split non-recliners seats, roof rack, pb radio, wheel covers, floors gone ’62 Lark Regal 4-dr, gray, AT, pb radio, sitting on ground, parts car ’54 Land Cruiser 4-dr, blue, AT, radio, clock, backups- parts car ’61 Lark hardtop Autumn Haze, 6 cyl stick, complete, sunk in ground to sills, very shabby ’64 Champ p/u, white, 6 cyl 3-spd, long bed, very rusty ’61 Lark Cruiser, Autumn Haze, 259 V8, O/D, very solid, little rust, shabby interior SOLD ’66 Cruiser 4-dr, lt blue,w/black vinyl top,AT, AM radio, usual rust, water stained seats, fair, ’64 Wagonaire, gray, AT, V8, sliding roof. very rusty, parts or scrap ’64 Cruiser 4-dr, black, split recliners, AT, clock, pb radio, moderate rust ’48-49 Land Cruiser 4-dr, radio gone, solid, backups ’63 Wagonaire, white, 6 cyl stick, sliding roof, very rusty, scrap ’56 Commander 4-dr AT, green and white, pb radio, clock, bad w/s and pass door glass ’61 Lark 2-dr, lt blue, 6 cyl, AT, little rust, bent fender, eBay ’63 Cruiser, blue, AT, ps, split recliners, clock, pb radio, wswashers, nicely equipped, ownership question ’66 Commander 4-dr, maroon, AT, V8, rusty floors, (sold Kern Motors, Winchester, VA ) ’59 Lark hardtop, Reclining bench seat, V8 stick, very rusty floors ‘60 Lark wagon 4-dr, lt blue, 6 cyl, AT, dash partly gone, clock ’59 Lark 2-dr, blue, 6 cyl, stick, no radiator, rusty floors and fenders ’63 GT Hawk, red, Column AT, 289 V8 2 bbl, full dash, disc brakes, ps, moderate rust (SOLD on eBay) ’64 Commander or Challenger 4-dr, blue, hood stuck, not too much rust [email protected] AGAIN THESE ARE NOT MY CARS PLEASE CONTACT THE ABOVE EMAIL FOR ANY INFO OR QUESTIONS OR PRICES.

an update from the gentleman helping with the sale....some O/T The only remaining AMC is a '74 Matador which Torrey was driving before he got sick. All but one Rambler, a blue hardtop, went to the scrapper and it will probably go too as they can't find a title for it. All the MoPars were sold except a late '80s rear wheel drive New Yorker. From where it sits it has been a long time since it was run, but it's not rusty, poor paint and has a plush interior. GMs include a '77 Pontiac Catalina four-door which Torrey also drove (decent car), an Olds Cutlass Cruiser station wagon with faded paint, but decent interior (condition unknown) and a '66 Olds Toronado in prime- supposed to be in good mechanical condition with re-chromed bumpers, but we can't find the bumpers.
