Beautiful, partially restored/mostly original 1961 Studebaker Lark VI Deluxe 4-door wagon finished in Jade Green and car show ready. This car was offered for sale by Harwood Motors in Macedonia, Ohio for $16,900 and purchased by the prior owner in October 2021 (sales receipts provided and photo included showing the car with stock wheels that also come with the car). Let me know if you'd like a link to see the original listing and photos from 2021. Approximately 2,000 miles have been added since and the odometer now reads 87,105 and is true and accurate. The clean Virginia title shows as "actual miles".This Lark was originally sold by Shaull & Hildebrand in Thomasville, Pa. for $2,569.36Build date: October 14, 1960shipped from factory: October 17,1960Serial/vin# 61S9409engine# S-181285body# 755Significant upgrades and renewed parts over the past 2k miles have made this car a turn-key, well-sorted collector classic.
