    1964 Studebaker Daytona Vintage Race Car
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/vintage_racer/sets/72157607658643415/
    Original Team & Sponsor- Rex Easley Motor Company Original engine - 1965 GM 283, T-10 4 speed transmission Rex Easley assumed his family's Studebaker dealership due to his father's death when he was 24. A bit of a playboy, Rex wanted to go racing. The 1964 Studebaker engines were heavy and didn't make much power, but in 1965 they closed their foundry, and GM supplied the 283 motors and the T-10 4 speeds. The car was updated, and was soon running door to door with the Mustangs and other cars. In 1966, Studebaker closed it's factory, and Rex put the car in storage as raced. Found in a machine shed after his death in 2004, it was restored by Taylor Racing in Sisters, Oregon. After a shakedown weekend early this year, the car is being competitively campaigned on the vintage racing circuit.

    Thanks for commenting. I've seen that thread. I just can't figure out what last-series Lark I saw completed somewhere. It's about to drive me crazy!

    Anybody know whatever happened to this car? I thought I saw pictures of it finished somwhere, but maybe I'm wrong. I sure can't find it now.

    Usually, when one hears the word "Studebaker", there's an immediate vision that comes to mind. Then you see a Studebaker Lark Daytona and you realize that it's not what you were thinking. This build isn't what you'd think, either.


    Do any of you recall this car finished, or one similar in build style?
