Description of 1959 Studebaker Lark 59V REGAL

SOLID California V8 Lark Regal Hardtop... RUNS EXCELLENT ..
3 speed manual shift with Overdrive...
3.73 rear
This SOLID Lark was being prepared for paint, and the owner became sick. All the stainless trim is included, AND the bumpers, which are in good condition.
This is a good opportunity to own one of these SOLID West Coast Larks, and a RARE Regal Hardtop with the desirable 259 V8 manual OD trans and 3.73 performance gears, before we proceed to have the body blasted to bare metal and prep for painting
The dash has already been restored in red/black. The headliner is in good condition. The interior is faded, but clean, and will be easy to reupholster later. The engine runs smooth and quiet, with no unusual smoke or noise. It appears the fuel tank was replaced.
A youtube video of the engine running is posted here

Now in Alabama, this is a real California car and the body, rockers, floors, etc are NOT full of rust holes. Only the lower front fender, just in front of the door needs to be straightened and aligned where it was caught by the edge if the door, need attention, and is not difficult to correct.
Don't let the body pictures discourage youUnlike many cars with " 6 " coats of paint to remove..this would be an easy DIY body to sand to bare metal...
Excellent windshield and rear window. the flat side glass is cheap and easy to replace.Chrome grill, headlight rims and sidelights are in very good condition
Yes, the car HAS a TITLE ..... and we are selling it to finance the building of our Holman Moody Lark tribute
