Looking for nice '63 Cruiser

[jnorris]

Hi...if any fellow SDC members might know where I could possibly find a 1963 Lark Cruiser? Not looking for a show queen, but a nice original or solidly restored driver with pride type. Automatic and P/S are a must due to our advancing years. feel free to contact me 513-460-3526 or jnorris@linkageconnecr.com thanks Jim

Thanks Dean...yes I saw that one.....we have a focus on a 1963. We had a 63 some years back and sold it to buy a 60 Lark ragtop, which we have never regretted the purchase, BUT we have regretted selling the 63 Cruiser.....now we want both !!

jnorris, I don't know this car, but, from the pictures and description, it sounds really nice to me.

There was one for sale in the Lima area about a year ago that looked very nice in the pictures. I will look to see if I may still have the contact information.

Depending on how nice you want your car to start as, this might be an option;

The car isn't mine and I have no stake in it nor can I speak to its condition.

This is NOT a 1963 Cruiser (as desired).

[StudeRich]

Yep, I was about to suggest that one also until I saw that the owner "Says" it has (the dreaded) Chevy. 327 and 350 THM Trans.


Those Valve Covers do look a lot Newer than '68 when the 327 was discontinued (I believe). I wonder if it is a belly button 350.

It does have a Aluminum "Street Dominator" Edelbrock Intake and a Holly 4 barrel Carb. and no Oil Filler Pipe in the Intake though, maybe why the valve Covers had to be changed.

OK, THIS one is the Nice looking Blue '63 Lark Custom a tick below a Cruiser, but with a Stick and 6 Cyl. it does not fit the bill:

And, THIS one is the Black '63 Cruiser with a Chev. Engine.
This thing would be quite Fast, but a serious Gas Hog:

If you still have the contact info for the Lima car, I would welcome the "heads up"...thanks !!!
