Q:
How do I find the value of a 1963 Studebaker Lark?
I am refinancing my house and need some kind of documentation on the value of my 63 Studebaker Lark to use as an asset.

Thank you & 10 points for best answer!

The worth of an old car is a “ballpark” estimate at best. Our prices come from compilations of national/regional data by the editors of our weekly publication, Old Cars Weekly News & Marketplace. (Sample copies of Old Cars are available for $1.95 each from Krause Publications, 700 B. State St.. lola, WI 54990).
These data include prices from collector-car auctions, verified reports of private sales, and input from experts.
We list values for cars in six different states of condition as explained below. Prices are for complete vehicles; not parts cars, except as noted. Modified-car values are not included, but can be estimated by figuring the cost of restoring to original and deducting from the figures shown here.
Old Cars Price Guide condition codes fit the following descriptions:
1) EXCELLENT: Restored to current maximum professional standards of quality in every area, or perfect original with components operating and appearing as new, A 95-plus point show car that is not driven.
In national show judging, a car in No. 1 condition is likely to win top honors in its class. In a sense, it has ceased to be an automobile and has become an object of art. It is transported to shows in an enclosed trailer, and, when not being shown, it is stored in a climate-controlled facility. It is not driven.
There are very few No. 1 cars.
2) FINE: Well-restored, or a combination of superior restoration and excellent original. Also, an extremely well-maintained original showing very minimal wear.
Except for the very closest inspection, a No. 2 vehicle may appear as a No. 1. The No. 2 vehicle will take the top award in many judged shows, except when squared off against a No. 1 example in its own class. It may also be driven 800-1,000 miles each year to shows, on tours, and simply for pleasure.
3) VERY GOOD: Completely operable original or “older restoration” showing wear. Also, a good amateur restoration, all presentable and serviceable inside and out. Plus, combinations of well-done restoration and good operable components; or a partially restored car with all parts necessary to complete it and/or valuable NOS parts.
This is a “20-footer.” That is, from 20 feet away it may look perfect. But as we approach it, we begin to notice that the paint may be getting a little thin in spots from frequent washing and polishing. Looking inside we might detect some wear on the driver’s seat, foot pedals, and carpeting. The chrome trim, while still quite presentable, may have lost the sharp, mirror-like reflective quality it had when new. All systems and equipment on the car are in good operating order. In general, most of the vehicles seen at car shows are No. 3s.
4) GOOD: A driveable vehicle needing no. or only minor, work to he functional. Also, a deteriorated restoration or a very poor amateur restoration. All components ma\ need restoration to he “excellent.” bu: the car is mostly useable ‘as is.”
This is a driver. It may he i’ the process of restoration or its owne’ ma have big plans, but even from 2 feet away, there is no doubt thai it no ‘ds a lot of help.
5) RESTORABLE: Needs complete restoration of body, chassis and interior. May or may not be running, but isn’t weathered, wrecked, and/or stripped to the point of being useful only for parts.
This car needs everything. It may not be operable, but it is essentially all there and has only minor surface rust, if any rust at all. While presenting a real challenge to the restorer, it won’t have him doing a lot of chasii. for missing parts.
6) PARTS CAR: May or may not be running, but is weathered, wrecked, and/or stripped to the point of being useful primarily for parts.
This is an incomplete or greatly deteriorated, perhaps rusty, vehicle that has value only as a parts donor for other restoration projects.
