Sure, there are a lot of those things still around and running. Restoration depends on condition that could be anything from complete and running to junker. I have a junker.

Yep, the old Lark 40's and super seahorse 40's are the same engine, just a few cosmetic differences. They're great motors and very reliable, plus they're easy to work on. I've had a few of these and often found them easy to put back in service.
