alsancle Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Find me a 1960s car more cool for 10k. And yes, the advertisement is horrible and it seems to have no chassis. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124717928541 You are looking at a beautiful 1962 Studebaker GT Grand Turismo Coupe! This is a fun 4 speed car with a 289, nice black paint and red interior..Very stylish and not many of these left. The undercarriage is rough and will need some attention! I feel that my price of $10,500 is very realistic for a classic car like this one with the potential that this vehicle has. We offer a 90 day lay away on many of our vehicles. Just break the cost of the vehicle into 4 equal payments 30 days apart, and then you can take possession of the vehicle. I might consider a possible trade, what do you have? What are you looking for? Lets talk!!! I sure would love to make this Classic yours. What can I do to make that happen? If this Classic is the vehicle of your dreams then the best time to buy it is BEFORE someone else does. NOW is the time. The customer who looked at it yesterday and said I will buy it tomorrow MAY come back and buy it today while you are waiting to buy it tomorrow. Do not wait another minute. Give me a call right NOW so we can make this beauty yours. RIGHT NOW. You will be GLAD that you did!!! We specialize in Father and son restoration projects. We are located in the north western part of South Carolina 20 minutes south east of Greenville 100 miles SW of Charlotte and 150 miles NE of Atlanta. Drop by any time and take a stroll through our Field of Dreams. You may just find that car of your dreams. I hope to see you soon. Give me a call at 1-855-202-5148 so we can talk person to person about this making this car yours. We ship all over the world at your expense. We always have dozens and dozens of collector cars available for sale at all times. Visit Classic Cars of S.C. Inc. online at to see more pictures of this vehicle or call us at 855-202-5148 today to schedule a look at this classic. We have shipped to just about every state in the US and 33 foreign countries. I would much rather talk than text, however, if you must, you may text me at 1-855-202-5148. I look forward to seeing you soon.

JRHaelig Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I always see so many styling cues from the Lincoln Continental of the same years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearheadengineer Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Looks great - UNTIL you look underneath. THEN you clearly have to RUN away. NOW. Too bad it’s so rotted out. It looks like it sat in a field for a long time. Or the ocean. Maybe a good parts car. I doubt you can buy panels for it, so even if you find a decent frame you are looking at a lot of fabrication. I can’t imagine it would be worth it. There must be better examples out there. - John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I really like all of the Hawk series Studebakers. Too bad this one was neglected. Looks like it has spent many winters in northern part of Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Yeah, no engine photos and when a salesman tells you something is rough but doesn’t post pics, run away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve hit “see full description” on every eBay ad I’ve ever looked at but never saw “full size photos” till you pointed it out. Wonder how many years that’s been around. It has been around a while. My crack about the ad was regarding the description. They actually posted quite a few good pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Well after looking at the pictures I have to take back my remark about the salesman. Really wouldn’t want the car though after seeing the balance of the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need a rust free hulk that you can steal a chassis from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to check these GT Hawks closely for rust corrosion. I've been burned once on a gorgeous Florida GT Hawk that looked great, had a seriously false appraisal claiming all original body panels and some very cleverly deceptive photo's. I wasn't able to view in person due to time and distance. Big mistake on my part! It had fiberglass fenders, rotted door frames, and much more. Here's a picture of the bad one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Luddy Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 This is an honest original steel one needing some metal patch work, but solid steel underneath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Luddy Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Both of mine are 1963 models. These are such an elegant car even after all the years and iterations of the 1953 debut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see 3 or 4 Avanti's every year in that configuration, but it seems like 1 GT every 10 years like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a black 63 about 20 years ago that was a 4 speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
