1960 STUDEBAKER HAWK 289 W/OVERDRIVE - ONE OWNER - OLDER RESTORATION

1960 STUDEBAKER HAWK
THIS A ONE OWNER CAR - ORIGINALLY ORDERED FROM SIMONSON MOTORS IN BENSON, MINNESOTA (STUDEBAKER AND OLIVER TRACTOR DEALER)
THIS CAR WAS RESTORED IN THE 1980s AND IS STILL IN NICE DRIVING CONDITION. NOT CONSIDERED 'SHOW CONDITION', BUT NICE DRIVER.
THIS CAR WAS ORIGINALLY 'WILLIAMSBURG GREEN' AND WAS REPAINTED THE SAME.
IT HAS SCRATCHES, SCRAPES, CHIPS ETC FROM MANY YEARS OF USE SINCE THEN.
A BUFF, POLISH, WAX AND SOME TOUCH UP PAINT COULD MAKE IT VERY NICE.
IT HAS REPLACEMENT FIBERGLASS FENDERS AND THE FLOOR PAN WAS PATCHED OVER. THE LOWER DRIVER FENDER GOT LOOSE AT SOME POINT, CAUSING THE DOOR AND FENDER TO BIND, CREATING A SCRAPE THERE - SEE THE CLOSEUP OF THE THAT AREA.
THE INTERIOR WAS REDONE FROM HEADLINER TO CARPET.
IT IS ALL STILL IN GREAT CONDITION. EXCEPT THE CARPET IS A BIT FADED. SOME EDGES OF THE DOOR PANELS HAVE BEEN 'GLUED' TO THE DOOR IN SOME PLACES.
ALL THE GLASS IS INTACT AND IN GREAT CONDITION.
(THE DRIVER DOOR WINDOW NEEDS HELP WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN)
THE CHROME IS NICE ON THIS CAR WITH ONLY MINOR PITTING IN A COUPLE AREAS - LOWER OUTER GRILLE SURROUNDS, TAILFIN ENDS.
BUMPERS ARE STRAIGHT, SHINY AND IN GREAT CONDITION.
(MINOR BLEMISHES ON LOWER REAR BUMPER TO THE RIGHT OF LICENSE)
THE TRUNK FLOOR IS SOLID AND APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL.
THE TIRES ARE COKER CLASSICS PURCHASED IN THE 1980s AND ARE IN GOOD CONDITION - HOWEVER, BIAS PLY TIRES OF THIS AGE SHOULD PROBABLY BE REPLACED IF YOU PLAN ON HIGHWAY DRIVING.
ORIGINAL 'SWEEPSTAKES' 289 V8 WAS REBUILT AT THE TIME OF RESTORATION.
STARTS RIGHT UP. RUNS AND DRIVES GOOD.
THE IDLE IS A BIT HIGH, BUT IT HASNT BEEN USED MUCH IN THE LAST FEW YEARS SO IT PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE TUNED (TIMING, CARB TWEAKING OR REBUILD.)
BELIEVED TO BE 139K MILES.
HAS AN EXHAUST LEAK AT THE LH MANIFOLD DONUT SEAL.
THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND OVERDRIVE.
WHICH IS GREAT FOR KEEPING UP WITH TODAY'S TRAFFIC.
(SHIFTER IS 'ON THE TREE')
