General:  You are bidding on a 1963 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk.  It is  factory equipped with an R2 Supercharged 289 V8 engine (original); four speed transmission, power steering, and power disc brakes. 

Exterior:   The car was restored by a previous owner.  It is finished in a non-authentic blue metallic and fitted with a non-factory half vinyl roof.  Other non-factory exterior items include the "supercharged" script badges (from an Avanti) and taillight housings (from a 1964 GT Hawk.) The paint is overall is good shape, but does show scrapes and imperfections.  Front fenders show evidence of repair and some rust bubbling out (see pictures). There is evidence of filler cracking in the rear quarter panels, and some areas of paint crazing.  Brightwork is in very good shape.  One of the Lucite front fender spears is broken.  Front bumper is either slightly bent or misadjusted - sticks out more on drivers side than passenger side.  Rear deck lid overlay has two sheet metal screws holding it on in the upper corners and appears to have been touched up at some point.   

Interior:  The seats are in good shape and appear to have been recovered. Carpeting has some blemishes (see pictures).  Door panels and headliner are in very nice condition.  Radio is not installed - is in trunk.  Instruments bezels are corroded some, but may polish up. 

Mechanical:  The car runs, drives, and stops.   The engine shows +/- 30 lbs. oil pressure at approx. 1500 rpm. (see pictures).  The supercharger is very noisy.  The car is equipped with a Hurst shifter.  Mileage shows 19,xxx, but is not believed to be accurate - actual mileage is unknown.  Could very well be 119,xxx miles.  Brakes are spongy.  Engine number matches build sheet.

Structural:  Frame appears solid and hog troughs are intact, but some evidence of rust is present at the seams.  Trunk floor has been repaired with fiberglass.  Underbody door pillar support is present but not attached to door hinge pillars (see photos).    There is some surface rust  and minor rust scale on the frame (see pictures).  Trunk corners show evidence of minor rust from underneath (see pictures).

Other:  Radio, original shifter, and copy of factory production order included in sale.  The car may be inspected in person by calling (574) 235-9067 (Andy), or email with questions or for additional pictures.
