Cool little car. Do they call them Larks over there?
yup thanks guys...
its a 63 model .. 259 v8 although im a little suspicious - someone has put 289 Studebaker decals on the rocker covers..
is loud enough that i cant sneak home late at night - mrs crate will have her fry pan out...
Still a called a in Lark NZ and apparently one of 96 cars imported- so a bit rare here too .. and Dutch you drive it from the other side of the car
stills needs a little work ,, heater doesnt work, rear panel needs some work the doors seen in the pic need some re-aligning.. and the engine needs a tune as it misses iding along around 30-35 mph -- could have something to do with the 500cfm 4bbl on it though.. way too many cfm's suspect its been jetted down.. cos still cheap to run..
Cool score on the car!
The guy I bought my carburetor from had it on a 454 and tried to jet it down for economy. It was so lean that it was lean surging at about 40 km/h. You can't jet a carb down for economy, so I'm wondering if it is carburetor related if it's surging or you've just got another issue.
A guy near my parents place has one that's in grass over the roof. It's sad to see that even if it was a parts car.
