Other: 64 Cruiser and 62 Hawk GT weight

[MCCAB1]

I have been looking for the specs and dimensions for a 64 Cruiser and a 62 Hawk GT. Mainly the weight, wheelbase, fuel tank volume, etc.

Hawk WB=120 Cruiser WB=113.....I believe both gas tanks hold 18 gal....for sure the Cruiser (and all Larks for that matter). I'll guess the Hawk to weigh in at about 3200lbs, the Cruiser about 2900.......correction someone with a spec sheet...(PS, PB, AC and some other addies will push the weight up some too)

Thanks for the info. The classic car database was excellent! While I was there I printed the specs for my 63 Avanti and a 64 Commander also. Thanks. again. Bruce.

I have CERTIFIED weight tickets that put my '65 Cruiser over 3500 pounds!!!
Just my fat @$$ and half a tank of gas onboard...

Hey,it was!! Apparently only some of the 59s were made by Rambler... They still make 'em in Canada ya'know.
Yesterday I called Autozone about a fuel pressure regulator,and the kid on the phone asked me who made Studebaker!! I know everybody else had heard that question,but it was actually the first time it has happened to me..

It's been a couple of years since I weighed our 64' Cruiser, but I recall it was around 3550 lbs. on a local highway scale.

I weighed my 63 GT with my son in it and some stuff in the trunk, and I think it was about 3850 or so David

I weighed my '64 Cruiser at the scrap yard (Don't panic! I was cashing in aluminum cans!) and think I remember 3500 lbs.
Next time I have a load of cans I'll re-check.

We just weighed my 51 Strarlight coupe, with a little stuff in the trunk, and spare tire, 6 cyl champion, 3 spd and over, ---3050# Shane

I would not put a lot of confidence in their numbers. Their COPYING skills are poor!

Most numbers are mixed between 6 or 8 Cyl. models, wrong cooling system data, wrong brake drum size, clutch size, axle ratios not specified by Trans type, Trans. info not specified by Type, etc.
