1963 Studebaker Lark Daytona (coupe)
Vehicle details
Spotted advertised in January 2019. Factory 289, AC, Power steering,Power disk brakes, 3.40 twin traction, power shift trans with buckets and floor shifter. Irmine white with red and white interior, vanity dash.
Car was pulled out of a field in October 2017 where it sat since 1977. Car had been run through/along a fence so I replaced both front fenders and the header panel and had them painted along with the hood in single stage white. The trunk lid was also replaced and repainted. Car has rust in the rockers, one small spot in the floor by the gas pedal, the passenger side floor/door jamb area, and one small spot in the trunk. The drivers quarter window is screwed shut, haven't taken it apart to see why. The interior needs completely re done. I have a nice dash out of a Canadian car that is complete with gauges, vanity, etc that can be dyed, dye is included, and used as a nice replacement that will go with the car. The car is very complete, missing almost no trim.
he car has a 259 in it now, runs strong with no issues, makes 70psi of oil pressure. I pulled it out, replaced gaskets through out and added an Edelbrock 500cfm carb. Trans and converter was supposedly rebuilt, it shifts strong but the front seal leaks a little bit. Brand new u joints were installed in the drive shaft. Dropped the tank, cleaned it out and installed a new sending unit. Brake lines were all flushed.
Lots of work done. See the other examples on the 1963 Studebaker Daytona register.
