Here is a well preserved California 1962 Gran Turismo Hawk with 'Birth Certificate' from the Studebaker museum. Built June 5, 1962 with the 225 Horse Power 289 V8, 4bbl carburetor, solid lifters with the original engine P 92614 , Borg Warner 4 speed floor shift transmission and Twin Traction differential. Original color when built was Metallic Brown, (with one repaint), tinted windshield original to car, dual floor heater, trunk mounted antenna, whitewalls, undercoating. Built with tachometer (not working) and a clock that has been replaced with a vacuum gauge. Complete new interior to original Studebaker specifications has been installed, from the headliner to carpets, dash to cargo deck. The interior color option of 'Saddle Tan' with white perforated headliner has been chosen with correct cross pleated seat inserts, pleated door panels with carpet bottom trim. All new carpets with access to master cylinder under pad, black padded dash and colored cargo deck have been installed. The rear glass was removed and replaced for proper headliner installation. A new window gasket as well as sun visor ball and clips were fitted to finish off a complete new interior trim out. All original body panels to car, with two minor scrapes on right door. One older repaint has plenty of shine, but has thin spots on roof. All chrome is in excellent condition because the car spent its life in the dry desert climate of Palm Springs. All original engine runs great, no smoke or rattles, good smooth shifting 4 speed transmission, original radiator with part numbers, glass windshield bottle attached to inner fender, original jack and tire tools in trunk. Surface rust on trunk floor, but no body worms! This is a rare factory built Hi-Performance Sport Coupe that has survived intact with its original numbers matching engine, transmission, and differential, that can be driven and enjoyed right now. All lights, horn, wipers, door locks, turn signals, working well. Factory tachometer not working, temp gauge replaced with aftermarket, AM radio has heavy static, and windshield washer pump not working. Sold in its present 'As Is' condition, however the car can be viewed and inspected in Huntington Beach most anytime, clean California title in my name with 2014 license tags.
