Information from ad: Up for bid is a 1960 Studebaker Lark Vl barn find. Looks like this car has been sitting inside all its life. This car is a project car. The body is very solid. Does have normal rust in the floors and some small amount of rust in the rockers. The car has been sitying since 2001. I did get the car running but it has no brakes so I did not drive it. The car is very complete. All the trim is on it. All four hub caps. The car is very solid arond the window with no rust . All the glass is good with no cracks. I dont think the car is missing anything. Very complete. It is a factory ac car. The body is in great shape with perfect pitina. The interior is all there but has rips in the seat and dash. Still has the spare tire and jack in the trunk. I do have a clear title.

As previously stated, that is an aftermarket A/C unit, not a 1960 Lark unit. I owned a 1960 Lark with A/C AND a V8.

Where's the wagon at?

As if I'm not already spent out for the year or the next two on Studebakers after buying that Land Cruiser....

Where's the wagon at?

Ad states it is Grand Rapids, Michigan - but could probably be anywhere - not sure how Ebay is a stickler when it comes to where something is located.

60V-45761 - four door sedan - for sale on Ebay, October 2018.

Radio, climitizer, overdrive, front and rear bumper guards.

Information from ad: Up for sale from Studebaker Central is our 1960 Lark VIII Regal. This is a really great driver in wonderful shape for its age. The 1959 and 1960 Larks were among the best looking cars of the early sixties and this Lark is in Williamsburg green which you don't see very often. It's a wonderful example of an American icon. The drive line is totally original. It is a 259 with a two barrel and single exhaust and it is a three on the column with overdrive that works perfectly. This car will cruise all day long at 80. The brakes have been recently serviced with new master and wheel cylinders. The car has 205 radials on it and rides very nicely. The interior is completely original and in pretty good shape for 58 years old. There is a separation where the driver sits as shown in the pictures. There is a very small split (1/2 inch) on the dash pad. The carpets are original and it still has the production sheet under the rear carpet; still has the color code under the glove box. The radio works. The trunk pads are original.
You can get in this car and drive it anywhere. Please come save it.
I have been in the Studebaker Driver's club for 45 years and have several cars but I can no longer care for them as I always have and can no longer work on them the way I should. I have lots of projects and lots of parts including heads, starter motors, fenders, doors ,hoods, trunks, glass and stuff I haven't seen in years. There are Hawks, Avantis and Larks here, even one Champ.
This Lark has the typical patches on the front fenders but there is no rust in the floors or in the trunk. The frame is excellent. The car has been repainted once in its original Williamsburg green. The door jambs and inside the trunk were not repainted. The 68,000 miles on it are to my knowledge original and accurate.
