1962 Studebaker Lark Description

1962 Lark 4-door. 259 V-8, 3-speed column shift w/overdrive and hill hold. Runs and drives great, recent tires and radiator re-cored. Very good condition, mostly original survivor, 36,300 original miles. The following are the things that I know that are "conditions" with the car. I've owned the car 12 years and have put 16k miles on in that time:

Oil leak from rear main seal. Rope type seal, drips a pretty good amount, drips less with more frequent driving.
Slight oil leak from rear end.
Suspension loud squeakleft front end, goes away after driving awhile. Noticed when car moves up and down, not from forward or backward movement.
Left front head light rim is dented, I hit a deer last year. No other known damage from that incident.
Rust bubbles on right front fender down by the quarter panel, see photo. Small rust area where master cylinder attaches to firewall. No other body rust to my knowledge.
Right front fender has been off at some point, I assume due to an accident. The right front door, fender and nose pieces have been repainted and I suspect the chrome in those areas is new.
Dashboard has sun cracks at the radio speaker grill.
Tires have approx 3000 miles on them, not exactly sure.
New radiator core several years ago.
Exhaust smokes at times, but I believe it is running too rich, not burning oil. Had the carb rebuilt, better but still very rich.

NH does not require a title on vehicles older than 10 years, so I have never applied for one. I have the title from the previous owner, signed over to me in 2005.
