One of the first yet unrecognised muscle cars. They were killer fast. I hope you have this on the Jet Thrust Registy. They are trying to keep track of all known surviving or destroyed R1 and R2 Studebakers. Good luck with this car!

Nice Studebaker, but does it actually say "lark" on the car in any place? Because if it is a 63 you would have a Studebaker Cruiser not a "Lark" they dropped the Lark name for the Cruiser. I have a 1963 Studebaker Cruiser in the same color but 4 door. Nice car do some research on it though

@5610winston The new owner is about done with the frame off resoration. It is currently pushing 500 h.p. I am waitng for some pictures of the completed car.

@EmersonCollie Yeah, Twin Traction'll do that for ya, and Studebaker was the first US manufacturer to offer modern caliper-type disc brakes as an option on every model. I think the ultimate sleeper would be a full-package "super" '63 Standard Wagonaire with the R-2 engine.

Sweet,
That lark moves quick without spining the tires at first. Has great brakes too!
I'm looking to get a 51 Commander with the 232 V8. It may be a while before I get one though.
It said lark right on the front fender.
