Vehicle Detail
You're looking at a super rare 61 stude lark 2 door wagon. Only a handful ever made, one of a few left in the world! Be the only one around to have one of these cars. Ever seen one? Crowds gather around this car at every event I take it to! It steals the show! The car is fully restored, and runs and drives and stops great! I would take it on the power tour today! It never gets over 190*. And that's in traffic, it's usually at 160 all day.Drive anywhere, Just know, this is a hot rod and it's kind of loud with a pretty choppy idle, so if you're looking for a fuel injected, quiet, air conditioned touring car, this isn't it. This is a fast, loud and fun hot rod the family can enjoy, lots of leg room for rear passengers, and the rear seat also folds down. Just a neat little car, and it's all fresh and ready to go! Less than 1000 miles on complete restoration. No rust anywhere. Perfect trim. Perfect glass. Beautiful paint and body. Car was taken down to the shell and painted inside and out 2 different colors. New factory style interior kit, that replaced every soft piece inside. Completely rebuilt suspension, all new parts in the front end. Sits low! Here are the driveline specs:Fresh 350 Chevy engine, less than 1000 milesPro-Topline aluminum race heads 235ccHydraulic roller cam 512" 230* 108 lsComp stainless full roller rockers9.5:1 compressionAir gap intake Holley 670 carbHolley electric fuel pumpAluminum water pumpMallory HEI ignitionHigh torque mini starterHeadersFull stainless steel dual exhaust ($1000)Turbo 350 trans with 2500 stall convertorDana posi rear end with 3.31 gearAll new front suspension partsFront disc brake conversion. Stops great!Weld draglites with new tires Also comes with stock steel wheels/tiresWith dogdish hubcaps for a sleeper look! Like I said, this little lightweight wagon can scoot! but can be driven anywhere. A couple of downsides:Can't find proper horn buttonNo heat air or radio/ factory delete platePassenger window goes up/down hard, have new regulator for itHeadliner is a little looseDome light missingGas gauge doesn't workSpeedo cable will not connect to Chevy trans ****LOOK***NEW**** I didn't really mention that every body panel is new old stock (NOS) on this car! quarters, doors, fenders and even the tailgate! the car was completely taken apart and painted , no glass was in it. it was a shell and then painted inside and out. so if you're wondering what the inside of the doors or tailgate etc. look like, its like new. I know I'm forgetting some things, but If you have any questions, please call! I don't want any disappointments. This is a no reserve auction, so if you bid you win! The starting bid is literally over $10,000 less than what's invested in this car! minus labor. It's not perfect, but it's a bargain at that price for sure!! You couldn't even come close to building it yourself for that money. Car is on several other sites and for sale locally. Auction will end if sold locally. Call Paul, 708-574-7025 TEXT ME and ask for a video!! I'll text it to you.On Sep-07-14 at 05:41:44 PDT, seller added the following information: Sorry, the car was resisted, and the auction is reserve style. My apologies.
