1962 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk. Powered by a 289 CI 4 barrel engine and an automatic transmission. This Studebaker began it's life in California, in the Los Angeles area, and spent 28 years there, in 1990 it was driven to Missouri. Shortly after arriving in Missouri the car was sold and the new owner wanted to do a restoration. The transmission and rear end were rebuilt prior to leaving California so the new owner started with the engine, having it professionally completely rebuilt from oil pan to carburetor at a cost of $3,200.00 in 1992 from a reputable local shop.  I have very good documentation on the engine rebuild with a list of new parts used and machine work. The new owner purchased historic license plates for the car and drove the car a total of 95 miles since the rebuild in 1992 to present. Most of the time the car has sat on a concrete slab beside his garage under a tree just watching the years roll by and slowly deteriorating. Through the years the car was started occasionally and later just turned over to keep it loose. The body on the car is very straight. The car appears to have had one repaint and the color changed from silver to white, this was a less than quality job and the white paint is flaking off in places. There is through rust low in both front fenders, there are rust bubbles starting to form in the front of both rear fenders, there is rust in the left hinge area of the hood and a crease from the hinge being stiff, there is rust along the lower lip of the deck lid. It would be best if the hood and deck lid could both be replaced, and the rest of the areas should be repairable. All of the glass is in tact, the wing windows are starting to bubble and there are some light wiper marks on the passenger side of the windshield, and the rest of the glass is excellent. The interior is the worst part of the car, the headliner has separated and is hanging down but all of the headliner trim is nice and still in place. The padded dash has a small split maybe 1" long. All of the seats are in place but need new covers, the door panels are in place but are starting to show wear, and the carpets are rotten and mostly removed so the floors can be seen.  The front passenger floor is soft and has holes and will need to be replaced, and the rest of the floors are brown but are solid. The dash insturments  are all in place as they should including the clock, the factory tach and the radio. The trunk floor is also very crusty, has holes and will also need work. The exterior trim is about 15% dinged up or pitted and about 85% excellent. Both bumpers are loosing chrome and the back one is bent, I do have a spare good front bumper. The grill and the aluminum trim on the deck lid is very nice. This Studebaker is equipped with power steering, Mark IV add-on A/C, bucket seats with a heater under the passenger seat, and a floor console. All of the tires have tread and the back two look brand new but the are all over 20 years old and dry rotted, but do hold air, all are on factory steel wheels with full wheel cover which are in good condition. The odometer reads 28,614 and I assume that is 128,614 but cannot document that. This is a complete car that I consider to be in very good condition for it's age and would make a great restoration project for someone to finish what was started 21 years ago, and remember that the engine only has 95 miles on it and the oil is still clean from that 1992 rebuild. The car is currently not running or road worthy and will need to be hauled to it's new home. I have tried to describe this old Studebaker to the best of me ability but have probably missed something that you would like to know, if so just ask. If you would like to inspect the car prior to the end of the auction again just ask and arrangements will be made. Car comes with a good Missouri title and a genuine 1959-1964 Studebaker shop manual. The winning bidder will be responsible for all transportation costs if needed, and I will help with arranging pickup and loading on this end.

High school design students sketch out FCA's 'ultimate status vehicle'

Tue, May 7 2019

Each year since 2013, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) hosts a design contest for high school students called Drive for Design intended to educate and encourage automotive career hopefuls. For 2019, FCA prompted 10th, 11th, and 12th graders to imagine the "ultimate status vehicle." The top three choices include two Alfa Romeos and a Maserati. FCA named first, second, and third places in the contest. Maximillian Cooper (lead image) from Design and Architecture Senior High in Miami won first place. Mason Ross (first inline image) from Kennedy Catholic High School in Burien, Wash., took second. Vincent Piaskowski (Maserati image) from Ernest W. Seaholm High School in Birmingham, Mich., placed third. The three winners of the contest will be awarded with numerous valuable prizes. They will get behind-the-scenes tours at the FCA U.S. Product Design studios, as well as mentoring time with some of FCA's designers. They will also get scholarships to attend the Precollege Summer Experience Transportation Design program at the College for Creative Studies. Lastly, they'll have the honor of serving as junior judges at the EyesOn Design Car Show. Although each sketch has a unique look, all three take the same approach: cab-forward, bubble-top supercar coupes with dramatic lines and curves. Piaskowski's shows direct inspiration from a shark, but we wouldn't be surprised if all three students have special places in their hearts for the Pininfarina Maserati Birdcage Concept.

Maserati to show GranCabrio MC in Paris

Mon, 24 Sep 2012

Maserati sure seems to be milking the GranTurismo franchise for all its worth these days. In addition to plenty of limited editions and sport models for both the coupe and convertible, Maserati recently launched the MC version of the hardtop. Now, ahead of its debut at the Paris Motor Show, the Modenese automaker has dropped details on its latest iteration of the GT platform, the GranCabrio MC.
Visually, the droptop's most noticeable change is its new face, which has been lifted directly off the MC Stradale coupe. This means the car is a full 48 millimeters longer than the standard and Sport versions of the GranCabrio, but we like the decidedly more aggressive look to that big ol' schnoz. The large rear spoiler has also been reworked for the MC, providing even more downforce to keep that large body firmly glued to the road.
Maserati has not released powertrain details, but we assume that the GranCabrio MC uses the same 4.7-liter Ferrari-sourced V8 as the MC coupe, good for 444 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

Maserati MC20 supercar will debut in May then hit the race track

Fri, Feb 21 2020

In the mid-2000s, Maserati was at the top of its game and at the top of performance car mountain with the Ferrari Enzo-based MC12. Today, Maserati isn't even in the foothills, let alone at the summit. The company is hoping to regain its credibility and status this year when it releases a new "super sports car" that we now know will be named MC20. We first caught a glimpse of the MC20, which is the spiritual successor to the MC12, in late 2019 via four murky photos of a camouflaged test mule. Judging by those photos, it seems the car will not look like any previous concept or model we've seen, which should help establish Maserati's insistence that 2020 marks the start of a new era for the company. However, test mules often have bodies and shapes that do not represent what the eventual production car will look like (the mid-engine Corvette started as this crazy Holden ute). Although it's alphanumeric, the name MC20 has some depth to it. MC stands for Maserati Corse, and 20 indicates the year 2020. But the MC12 wasn't released in 2012, so what's up? Maserati did this as a nod to its first race car, the Tipo 26, which was produced in 1926. Again, new era, back to its roots, etc.  The MC20 will have an all-new powertrain that has been developed and built by and for Maserati. It is unclear what type of powertrain the vehicle will launch with, but Maserati has confirmed the car will eventually be available as an "electrified version," just like every other Trident from here on out. A Ghibli PHEV is expected to kick things off when it arrives this spring, and we've already heard the sound Maserati's electric vehicles will make. As the MC indicates, Maserati plans to return to racing with the MC20, just as it did with the MC12. Following development in the Innovation Lab we recently featured, the MC20 will be built at the Viale Ciro Menotti plant in Modena, Italy.  The MC20 will debut at the end of May in Modena.
