Found this one along a road through Butte Canyon.
Probably the most unheralded of all the high performance autos of the muscle-car era, the Studebaker, in performance trim was SCARY fast.
It was available from the factory with twin Paxton superchargers on a 304.5 CID V8 built by Studebaker. The biggest challenge was that tire and suspension technology of the time made it very difficult to hook that horsepower to the road. These things were fire-breathing, tire shredding monsters! I don't know how this '64 example is equipped, because there was not the gaudy badging applied to them like so many of the other muscle cars.
