1954 Studebaker Champion - en quelque sorte

Well, on the surface, it is an old Champion but a look under the hood and at the spec sheet tells a very different story. Stuffed under there is a GM LS3 V8 good for 435 hp, Tremec five-speed manual, adjustable coil-over shocks and big 13” slotted disc brakes. According to builder Jellybean Autocrafters out of Langley, BC, it’s how the Champion would perform if Studebaker was still in business today.
