$4,500 – Placerville, CA:
“Camino is about an hour from Sacramento, which is where you will find this complete 1964 Studebaker Hawk Gran Turisimo. This is a rare car; only 1,484 were built in 1964 (the last year of production) and according to the Hawk Registry, there are probably less than 600 left of the 64’s.
It runs and drives, and turns heads everywhere it goes. Power comes from the original 289 cubic inch Studebaker V8 (not a Ford) and shifting is done with a manual transmission. (“Three on the tree.”) Almost every part of the brakes have been replaced, and there was a previous upgrade to power brakes. Other upgrades include electronic ignition, electric fuel pump, and a brand-new 12 volt GM alternator. (Note: this is NOT the supercharged model.)
This was purchased new on October 18, 1963 – we have the original purchase loan document. The payoff was completed on April 25, 1966. The payments were only $66.40 a month!
This Hawk went to Arizona and then Nevada, and then it came to California in 1991 where it has lived ever since. We don’t many other documents, but we believe that the odometer is accurate, and this car has 85,000 original miles.
The original owners manual is included. The front fenders are fiberglass. The car has new tires on vintage “Rocket” wheels. (I don’t have the original wheels or hubcaps.)
The stainless steel trim on this car is in remarkable good shape.
Now for some of the less-than-perfect items; a lot of the clear coat has come off the finish, so up close the paint looks pretty bad. (This is the second paint job. Car was originally the light brown color.) I am told that the pictures make the car look better than it really is. Please keep that in mind. There is some visible rust, plus there is some bubbling under the paint in several places. There are several rust holes in the floor. The interior was replaced in the 1990’s and it needs to be replaced again.
All of the gauges work except engine temperature. The speedometer works, but it “wobbles.” Occasionally the transmission “pops out” of second gear when you are coasting. The headliner has completely degraded. There is surface rust on the metal under the headliner. (Same in the trunk.)
This car is a sharp-looking vehicle to start on as a project. Complete, running / driving Studebakers are getting much harder to find. Clean / clear title in hand, in my name. California registration was good until April of 2017, and is now on non-op status. (No back fees.)
