does it have the alloy motor still in it and 2 speed auto, these are basically what they used in the Rover v8 from my understanding

Hi Mike,
Yes besides Hudson Hornets I too love my '62 Skylark, since I picked up the days ago I've put 435 fun filled miles on 48 year old/new car... Kept and rebuilt little light weight aluminum V8 engine with machine work and proper kit of my 1962 Skylark 3.5L 215 cubic inch also had 2-speed Dual-Path Turbine Drive rebuilt. Only other major change to original car is addition of Vintage Air A/C unit, all four wheels with *disc brakes, new Rally 15" rims and tires, all suspension replaced with NOS parts, interior completely reupholstered, chrome and stainless plated and polished respectively, all new weather stripping and flat glass.
* Use to have and rebuilt same platform '62 f/85 Cutlass (see picture) but engine was too powerful and very difficult to stop car. Ironic I just purchased 1962 Oldsmobile f/85 Cutlass running station wagon, I may or may not restored also have '56 Hornet with Twin-H sitting in Overton, NV. will not make any decisions until my '52 Hornet is on the road.
Being older, I love old cars,
Ray
