1960 Lark - forum registry

[StudeRich]

Looks like you forgot the most important thing Kelly, the Serial Number.

60V-6269 W4

Radio (but no antenna?), climitizer, oil filter

Early V8 with a claimed 13K original miles - could be true by the looks of things.

That is a beautiful '60 Lark VIII 4 Door, and I can believe the Mileage because of the Interior, but I am not buying the Paint and Engine compartment as ORIGINAL!

It is odd that there is no sideview Mirror or Antenna, I wonder what the chances are that an older person bought it with a Radio he did not want, but the Dealer threw it in rather than remove it, so he just tossed the Antenna in the Garage and never Played it?

That's a stretch I know, but the only other option is that the last owner was trying to spiff it up so he Painted it, detailed the Engine & Compartment, added the Chrome Headlight Rims and the Radio, maybe welded up the Mirror holes before Paint?

That was my guess on the paint/engine compartment as well. The radio - I am wondering if someone found one on Ebay/somewhere and thought it be a good addition, but did not drill an antenna hole or even look for the correct knobs - it doesn't even have a condenser on the generator or regulator. I wondered about the trunk paint - my late Sep. 59 has the trunk painted the same color as the exterior. Is the grey done on some cars, but not all?

Seeing as this car does not have OD, not having any other accessories is not a stretch. I am really liking the bias-ply blackwalls - have always wondered what my Velvet black W4 would look like with the same...

Yow! That's certainly going to go faster than it could when it was new.

If anyone knows of the whereabouts of my old HT, Buttercup, I'd love to know how and where she is. Last thought to have been sold somewhere out west about 2010 or so. 259, 3 speed, OD power steering. Sadly I lost all documentation, including the serial number. Came from Lee Delabare from Skip Lackie, from John Poulous. Maybe one of them will see this and provide the serial number.

60V-31235 - 4dr sedan parts car - for sale on Craigslist out of Flagstaff, AZ.

Complete Lark8. Runs well and virtually all moldings and accessories are there. Dash board is pristine. Interior is trashed. Body is straight and smooth, but contains some rust. Car has been sitting in a garage and not driven for 12 to 20 years, but has four good tires and spare with original wheels and all four hubcaps. Have title, but it has water damage and MVD will not issue a new title without owner applying for a bonded title. I have paperwork for that, but it will be responsibility of new owner. You buy it, you tow or haul it off. Photos available by e-mail.

As of this afternoon, there was still a pretty nice 25-footer non-restored Regal VIII 4 door on the lot @ Karz 'n More, Longview, WA. Pics on their website. Looks like maybe serial #60V17745, body #3896. Owner fired the engine briefly so I could get a listen- music!

60s 4dr sedan.60s53488. Just bought. First ride 11-7-2014. Needs work, but it still runs and drives.


A bit of progress. Would like to repaint black, but I don't think I can get the body that straight. Still pondering.....
