for sale

Price: US $1,236.00

Description:

1961 Studebaker Lark 2-door convertible. 8-cylinder V8 engine, rebuilt in the 70's. 2nd owner (since ~1968), in Los Angeles. Original paint, called flamingo at the time (sort of a bright salmon color) but faded. Car has not been driven in well over 5 years--through neglect, not because of engine difficulties. Stored in garage without draining of fluids, so needs major tune-up (new spark plugs, points, hoses, filters, carburetor adjustment, etc.) Drove fine when last taken out. Interior was replaced several years ago to the same original design (black & white vinyl). Top (automatic) in good shape, but vinyl back window needs replacing (typical). A little surface rust near bottom of doors, but floor solid. Driver's outside door handle missing push button. Driver window doesn't crank easily. Tail pipe needs better bracing. Front tires flat--need replacing (spare in trunk). Horn disconnected. Crack on right side of windshield. Tail light lenses need replacing. Body has dings. A cosmetic makeover would enhance. Owner in similar shape. Need to part with first-owned car (by order of spouse). Fun while it lasted. Besides shop manual, can also have pdf of owner's guide, plus Studebaker catalogs if interested. Questions? Contact by email (boldgilman@aol.com) or phone (562-422-1863; backup phone No. 760-310-5567).
