This car could use a nice restoration. It is a completely rust free car that spent most of its life in Arizona. Although it starts, runs and drives, it has spent most of its recent years sitting and needs upholstery, windshield and new paint.
The tires are nice, but it would be safe to go through the brakes and it smokes a little.
It deserves a nice restoration and is a very nice complete and worthwhile rare car to own.
Details:
VIN: 63V 1743
Engine # JTS -1010
Model: Gran Turismo Hawk
Millage: 109, 108
Body Tag# 160 – 4 SPD

Copy of the Production Order:
Body
The body is solid and rust free, but has bad spots on hood and a dent in right front fender.
Someone backed into the trunk lid, so previous owner put on a NOS replacement and new bumper.
The trim is nice and has some NOS emblems. The Supercharged Studebaker’s are a great investment and sure to appreciate while having fun!

Brakes
The brakes work but older rubber flex hoses may be getting hard and would be safe to make sure any fast car will always stop safely.
All parts needed are available for this car through Studebaker Parts vendors.

Transmission
Has the desirable T10 4 Speed Transmission in good condition.

Tires
Nice radial white wall tires.

Interior
Interior needs upholstery, seat belts and new door seals.

Engine
Engine starts and runs good, but smokes some. Has old gas and could probably use a tune up, hoses, belts, rubber lines.

Glass
Glass is tinted and cracked windshield needs replacement. All other glass is nice.

This is your chance to own (1 of only 276) R2 GT Hawks produced for that year (153 with 4 speed), with far fewer still existing.
This car’s rarity and good looks will stand out at any show and a unique addition to any collection.
