  This car spent many years looking for the right owner. Obviously, it's search was successful. Superb restoration for a very special car. Fabulous !

  This is probably one of the prettiest cars of that era that I’ve seen. Marvelous!

  How these things don’t get Ferrari level money is beyond me.  Truly some of the most beautiful and fast GTs of the era.

  One of the few restorations truly worth it.

  This gentleman is a master restorer, the engine looked very complete for a rare car that was a $1000 junker. Beautiful and historic automobile which is worth the small fortune he put into it ( and countless hours).

  The view of that car from the back and side was incredible. Probably the best and most unique I have ever seen. For $1000, it had to be a bucket of rust. Those old Studebakers with the 289 were the best sounding cars... the exhaust .

  I love it. This brings back so many memories of  my old man's GT Hawk. His was a metallic sky blue with the R1 engine. I have many childhood memories of him and that car, trips to the drive in movies, road trips ETC... a great car. sadly, it was a casualty of the violence in KCMO in 68. But the old man swore by that car until the day he died.

  Lou, as you can see I watched this video a year ago but when it came up in my feed again I had to watch it again.  If only Studebaker could have survived one can only wonder what other groundbreaking models they would have come up with?  A mid-engined Super Hawk LOL??  Thanks again Lou this is a great video.
