Gearheadengineer Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Not mine. The advertiser gives just enough info to get you to nibble. Or maybe not. Looks interesting so might be worth a look. I like the wheels. Maybe Hurst? The auto show connection might be true but wouldn’t add any value for me. The blower and the four speed do though. Interesting comparison with the rusty black one that was posted recently. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1148930368952818/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post Rare model with the R2 supercharged engine and 4 speed manual transmission. Was one of the display cars in the Studebaker Booth at the 1963 NY Auto Show. This is the only pic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I came close to buying a friends R2 four speed Avanti a few years ago before I came to my senses. It looked like a great original Black car until you looked at the hog troughs. So because I must have nothing else to do I watch for R2 four speed cars. You see maybe 3-4 Avantis a year, and maybe one GT. So this is the 2021 R2 stick GT that will be for sale and the guy put together a horrific advertisement. The auto show thing is awesome if you can prove it. 1 in 100 people that make that claim can prove it. If the red is factory, it beats the white that at least 1/2 of them seem to be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I may be mistaken, but it seems as though that drivers side fender is a little tweaked. I do like the red on this car, haven't seen too many in this color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 And the flip is on, complete with trailer. Actually, given the price of trailers these days maybe the combo is worth the new price of 20k https://barnfinds.com/supercharged-1963-studebaker-gran-turismo-hawk/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I'm annoyed with myself now. At 12k this was a crazy deal for a very special car. 46A code on the production order below, "High Performance Package" includes the following: 289 cu in Avanti Supercharged engine (Studebaker made, not Ford) Belt-driven Paxton SN-60 Supercharger Carter AFB 4-barrel pressure sealed Avanti carburetor Twin Traction limited-slip differential Power front disc/rear drum brakes (Studebaker was the first U.S. manufacturer to use front disc brakes) Heavy-duty springs and shocks Front and rear anti-roll bar High-performance gauge package (tachometer and 160 mph speedometer) Other features are the 4-speed Borg Warner T-10 transmission and a 3.73 ratio twin traction rear end 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the PO a decent offer and I got this special Stude. I put it on Barnfinds as a lark, hense the asking price. I have the car parked next to my Avanti, and plan on a full rstoration. This GT Hawk actually starts and runs excellent. Everything works , including the S/C. It is very original down to the paint and carpets. It is registered and I drive it on a regular basis. I have 2 NOS front fenders an 2 rear quarters, still in the original S/P cartons. I even have an extra D/S front fender along with a trunkfull of parts that also came with it. I think it was a real good buy. It was for sale for 4 days before I got there to see it. All I can say is that this Hawk is way cool and I was lucky to be able to buy it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Congrats. Does it really need to be restored? Or can you detail it and fix the any outstanding issues? Also, please get the right wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagandaga Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 To be really nice, yes. It will be a while before that happens though. Until then, i am just enjoying it and fixing what needs to be fixed to keep it safe andd reliable. I am looking for the Daytons that were used on it when it was in New York in 1963. The PO got the original steel wheels and hub caps. I have the caps but not the wheels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagandaga Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I sent email twice to the National Studebaker Museum in South Bend asking if they had any in their archives. I also mentioned I was willing to pay for copies of any pictures or information they had on this car. No response was forthcoming from them.

studerich Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 That's a very Nice looking Early '63 GT Hawk, (Non-recessed Parking Lights) but the Dealer or Owner that installed that incorrect location Radio Antenna on the Right Cowl ought to be Shot! I included a Pic of a '64 Avanti Powered GT with the correct Left Front Fender and through the Lower Cowl into the "A" Pillar Factory/Dealer Correct Location. I happen to prefer the optional Thunderbird style Rear deck Antenna, but if it is front Mounted, it would be good to be correct on an otherwise Original, excellent condition Hawks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearheadengineer Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 Advertised again, this time asking for $16k. Hadley, NY. Still cool, still needs work. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1075035569849108 1963 Studebaker GT Hawk. R2 supercharged engine, 4 speed transmission, PS, PDB and full high performance package. Early production model, 1 of 1, built for the 1963 New York Auto show in the spring of ‘63. The car is very original, paint, interior and running gear. All numbers match build sheet. Starts well, runs and drives. This is a 59 year old car and has not been restored. I have some rare and valuable NOS parts that may go with the car for the right offer. The last photo is the car in 1963. Not looking nor entertaining comments or rebuttal. Seriously interested parties can contact me for an appointment to view. More pics in the ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I think this is the ultimate Studebaker GT. I’m assuming it must need more work than what shows in the pictures, because a Studebaker guy should’ve snapped this up. I realize he’s flipping it, but I still think 18 K is not outrageous for what it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 So does the "670 White Firestone 500 NY" indicate the wire wheels? The picture certainly looks like the car for sale. How many Red on black hawks marked "NY Auto Show" on the build sheet could there be? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearheadengineer Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 Facebook ad still going, price dropped to $13,500. This seems like a cool car. Unusual, supercharged, four speed.

Pic is at the Chicago Auto Show. I attended and walked that red ramp up behind the Avanti. Had to because the crowd in front of the railing was 2-3 deep and I was 16 and still growing! The wheels on the Hawk GT are Dayton wire wheels and sure look great on the car!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if this is the NY car and not the Chicago car, they were probably outfitted similarly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
