For Sale: 1963 Studebaker 2-Dr in Collierville, Tennessee
At Art & Speed, we like finding those rare gems, and this fully
restored 1963 Studebaker Lark Daytona R2 Hardtop is one of only 110
built with the supercharged Jet-Thrust 289ci V8 with a four-speed
manual gearbox. This garage-kept Stude has been well-cared for with
a lot of documentation to back it up from the Studebaker specialist
in Mississippi who owned it. Factory options included front disc
brakes, bucket seats, and a twin-traction differential.
From headlight to taillight, everything is rebuilt or replaced with
new or NOS parts relatively recently. Those updates start with a
repaint using the factory basecoat color, Regal Red, with a
clearcoat on top. The body is obviously in great shape, as are the
NOS bumpers, as well.
As mentioned above, the engine is the original 289ci V8 but rebuilt
to OEM specs with all the right parts. The Paxton SN60 supercharger
is also restored, and the engine bay freshened up along with it.
The owner even added finned Studebaker valve covers that really set
it apart. All bushings have been replaced, including the A-frame,
engine, and transmission mounts. At the same time, all the
peripherals were rebuilt or replaced, including the fuel pump,
starter, radiator, hoses, brake master cylinder, brakes, brake
lines, oil lines, and even the exhaust. This car wants for
nothing!
Inside, the car is new as well. The red and white bucket seats and
dash cover are showing to be in excellent condition, appearing as
new. The bright red carpet is showing no signs of wear along with
the headliner and door panels. Other features and modifications
include a period-correct tachometer and a Hurst four-speed shifter
for the Borg-Warner T-10 manual transmission. Lastly, the consigner
added 15x7-inch Rev Wheels and radial tires to give it a little
more aggressive look, though he includes the factory wheel
covers.
This Lark Daytona R2 has been with the seller for over 15 years and
drives like-new, if not better. It is now being offered in its
turn-key-ready condition for you to enjoy. Fully restored with
great attention to detail, you will find this Studebaker a pleasure
to drive. Give Art & Speed a call today at 901-850-0507 to check
out this rare gem of Americana!
