Description:

This is a beautiful, privately reconstructed
1960 Studebaker Hawk
-- with the exterior color scheme made to resemble a
'Golden Hawk'
with the beautiful gold color and white accents. It has a Studebaker V8, automatic transmission, four-barrel Holley carburetor, windshield washer system, 12V alternator system. No power steering.
This Studebaker was completely taken apart, off frame...sandblasted and restored to like-new condition. The entire underside of the body is coated in fiberglass cloth & fiberglass resin with additional undercoating for future rust prevention! Every single bolt, nut, washer, wire, and hose is brand new. The front chrome is in excellent condition! The interior is in very good condition! There is no rust on this Studebaker, except a few small regions of surface rust on some bolts/nuts due to storage!
The vehicle was reconstructed approximately 10 years ago... It was put into immediate storage and it was never driven on the roads. It was taken out every season, warmed up, and driven around the property...but it was never on the roads. Because of this, we do not know its operational capabilities out on the roads...we make no claims nor guarantees of operational capabilities!
There are a few issues (shown in the photos):The paint is chipped near the passenger front headlightThe paint is chipped around the edge were the hood closes down (the hood slightly touches the body when it's closed)The paint is slightly faded (0.5 inch spot) on the driver side doorThe trunk lid has two 'tiger stripe' paint flawsThe rear chrome bumper has a few scratch marks and blemishes...including the rear chrome shrouds that go around the taillightsThe top of the vehicle has a few small spots on itThe trunk latch mechanism is not installed...I have most of the latch components, but not allNo radio and the radio cable is incompleteNo truck mat/carpetThe labels above the switches are missingThe dome light is missing its coverThe vinyl between the door frames and rear windows was patchedThe front two seats have a few wrinkles/scratch marks on themSlight hesitation when the accelerator is pushed (working on fixing this issue. .suspect bad carb power valve or a little out-of-time)One of the passenger-side freeze plugs is leaking small amount of coolant (about one drop every 1-2 hours)The doors have a very very slight bow to the them when closed against the bodyThe rims are not original Studebaker
Overall, the above issues are not major! The vehicle is gorgeous throughout and engine performance is strong! It is really a head-turner and with just a little more work, it can easily become a showcar!!
Please keep in mind that it was never on the roads! All of the problems that we are aware of by driving it around our property has been listed! The vehicle is sold 'as-is'
Please keep your expectation to reality! We have listed all problems that we are aware of...but again, keep in mind that the vehicle mainly sat in storage!
