1963 STUDEBAKER HAWK GT. THE 1963 BEING THE RAREST AND THE MOST COLLECTABLE. THIS CAR IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION. IT RETAINS IT'S ORIGINAL STUDEBAKER 289CI V8 ENGINE AND IT'S ORIGINAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE HAD A COMPLETE OVERHALL 3 YEARS AGO AND NEEDLESS TO SAY IT STARTS RIGHT UP AND RUNS GREAT. THERE IS OF COURSE NO SMOKE, NO LEAKS AND NO UNUSUAL NOISES. THE TRANSMISSION; I BELIEVE TO NOT HAVE BEEN REBUILT, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT. IT GOES INTO GEAR WITH EASE AND SHIFTS GREAT. AT THAT TIME, ALL OF THE HOSES WERE REPLACED AND THE RADIATOR WAS REBUILT AT BURTON RADIATOR. THE GAS LINES AND FUEL PUMP WERE REPLACED AS WELL. 2 YEARS AGO ALL THE BRAKE LINES,WHEEL CYLINDERS AND BRAKE SHOES WERE REPLACED. THIS CAR WAS ORDERED WITH TWIN TRACTION AND POWER BRAKES AS THAT WAS VERY RARE. AT THE TIME OF THE RESTORATION THE HEATER CORE WAS REPLACED AND THE HEATER HOSES WERE ALSO REPLACED. THIS CAR ALSO RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 2 BARREL CARB. AND IT'S ORIGINAL AIR CLEANER.
THE EXTERIOR WAS REPAINTED AS WELL I BELIEVE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO BY A PROFESSIONAL SHOP. THIS CAR WAS NOT A RUST BUCKET TO BEGIN WITH. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICTURES, IT WAS DONE TO A VERY HIGH QUALITY 2 STAGE PAINT. THERE IS ALOT OF CLEAR ON THE CAR. THE PAINT IS EXCELLENT AS IT IS DEEP AND RICH. THE WAS MINIMAL FILLER USED. ALL THE PANELS ARE RAZOR STRAIGHT AND ALL THE PANELS FIT PERFECT. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY NO RUST ON THIS CAR EITHER.  AT THE TIME THE EXTERIOR WAS REDONE ALL OF THE RUBBER WAS REPLACED AS WELL. ALL OF THE GLASS IS ORIGINAL AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR CHIPS. ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPERATE WITH EASE INCLUDING THE WING WINDOWS.
ALL THE CHROME AND STAINLESS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. MOST OF IT HAS BEEN REPLACED OR RECHROMED. THE PIECES THAT WERE NOT REPLACED WERE REMOVED AND HAND POLISHED. THE BUMPERS ARE ORIGINAL BUT WERE RECENTLY RECHROMED BY FRANKFORD PLATING IN PHILADLPHIA.      THE DOOR HANDELS AND MIRROR WERE ALSO REPLACED. ALL OF THE EMBLEMS WERE RECENTLY REPLACED AND LOOK GREAT. THERE IS OF COURSE NOTHING BENT OR MISSING.
 THE TRUNK IS LINED WITH THE ORIGINAL MATT AND THE ORIGINAL SPARE. THERE IS NOT A DROP OF RUST IN THE TRUNK, TRUNK LID OR DRIP RAILS. ITS REALLY NICE.
 AS AMAZING AS IT SOUNDS THE INTERIOR IS MOSTLY ORIGINAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CARPET. THE SEATS, DOOR PANELS (FRONT AND BACK), DASH PAD,CENTER CONSOLE AND KICK PANELS ARE ORIGINAL AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. EVEN THE SEAT BACKS ARE EXCELLENT AS THEY USUALLY RIP OVER TIME.  ANYONE WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH THESE CARS KNOWS THERE IS A TON OF STAINLESS IN THE INTERIOR. EVERYTHING IS THERE AND ITS ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS WELL. AS WAS THE EXTERIOR, ALL THE PIECES WERE REMOVED AND HAND POLISHED AS WELL. THE DASH AND GAGES ARE REALLY REALLY NICE. THEY USUALLY HAVE SOME PITTING AND THIS ONE HAS NONE. ALL THE LIGHTS WORK INCLUDING THE DASH LITES. ALL THE GAGES WORK EXCEPT THE CLOCK. THE HEADLINER WAS NOT REPLACED AND SHOULD BE AS IT DOES SHOW SOME WEAR. EVEN THE HORN WORKS. Clean title.
