Summary:
Used 1963 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk
Location:
Morgantown, PA
Description:
1963 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk R1 Coupe After a radical facelift in 1962, the GT Hawks also receivedrevised interiors and in 63, the Jet-Thrust R-series V8's wereoffered either as the normally aspirated 289ci as part of the R1package, a supercharged version rated at 289 horsepower, and a rareR3 supercharged 304ci model with 304 horsepower. Good power was alofty achievement for Studebaker and its European influenced designwas reserved for a handful of buyers. In '63, just 4,634 GT's weresold. For consignment, a 1963 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk R1 coupedressed in black and rowed to motion via a 4-speed manualtransmission. This is not the Playstation version of Gran Turismoand in fact, we doubt this car is available in the simulated game.This is a real and rare R1 Hawk and while Classic Auto Mall has hadthe honor of representing many Studebaker Hawks over the years,this is the first R1 to grace our Hallowed Halls. ExteriorUniquely Studebaker with its British inspired grille, Gran Turismotri colored badge, and hood that conforms to the shape of thegrille, creating deep air tunnels on each side. Our car is bathedin two stage Velvet Black and is adorned with plenty of brightmetal trim and features unique to a Studebaker. Single roundheadlights flank the grille and just below more "squashed mesh"openings house the new for 1963 round turn signal light. A chromebumper in fine shape and the windshield has a large, polishedframe; a wide ribbed C-pillar trim piece delineates the rearquarter on either side. The rear glass is inset forming a smalloverhang in the back. The sleek trunk deck has a large stainlessribbed panel on the back with the Twin Traction emblem, signifyingthe car is supplied with an axle similar to limited slip. Below ina black field are the Studebaker Hawk letters running across thepanel. The rear bumper is looking good and shiny, verticaltaillights just above hinting at fins, and square dual exhaust peekout underneath. Nice scalloped S badged wheel covers dress up the15-inch wheels, encircled in red and the red is picked up on a"Avanti Powered" badge on the front fender. Gold Gran Turismo badgein script along with the tri-colored badge adorns the doors andduring our observation, we note no glaring faults on the exteriorof this car. InteriorDoor panels start us out with pleated uppers, a brushed aluminumpanel streaking through the center housing the small armrest, andblack carpeting on the door lowers, all in great shape except forone loose end pleat on the drivers' door. Inside, low back widebuckets, standard for the GT, are also in black vinyl and areflanking a center console with armrest and ashtray. In the back isa big bench with more vertical pleats, a pulldown center armrest,and the door pattern flowing on the sidewalls. A black and whitesteering wheel contains a horn ring that summons the rear decklidplate, somewhat rectangular, leading to a stunning dashboard,backed with wood veneer, canted towards the driver, and containinga high end array of gauges with metal name plates. Outside the maincockpit, an AM radio takes its place in the wood panel, and a goldhawk is affixed to the wood glove box door. A simple, stout, whiteknobbed shifter is floor mounted and surrounded by black loopcarpet in great condition. Polished braces dress the whiteperforated headliner for just that extra bit of classy detail, andit looks fantastic. The trunk is lined with a plaid mat and housesa red-rimmed spare, all clean. DrivetrainUnder the hood, an equally clean engine is housed in a spotlessbay. This is the 289ci V8 rated at 210 horsepower and fueled by a4-barrel carburetor. The air filter cover and valve covers arechrome, and the fan shroud is glossy black. A Borg Warner 4-speedmanual transmission is behind it all and sends power to a Dana 44out back with 3.31 gears and Twin Traction. Power brakes are indemand and comprise of disc up front and drum in back. UndercarriageSuper clean underneath as well with no surface rust, grease buildup, road dirt, or errant fluids anywhere. We see one drop of oilnear the drain plug. Dual exhaust enters some red Cherrybombmuffler on their way to the back. Coil spring suspension is upfront and leaf springs in back. Drive-AbilityIt's not every day you get to test a GT Hawk. This one will makeanyone a Studebaker fan. It performed as it should, solid braking,nice smooth acceleration, and the 4-speed is a bonus. All functionsin this clean car work as intended. While Classic Auto Mallrepresents that these functions were working at the time of ourtest drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working atthe time of your purchase. Is it a luxury car, a muscle car, or a grand tourer? Well, it's abit of each. A unique blend of external design, internal opulence,and a capable V8. Call the rare bird alert because this one justlanded in our hall and like a warbler passing through, likely won'tbe here long.
