1964 Hawk #64V15220 was indeed built as a full-package Super Hawk: R1 / Powershift, Bermuda Brown with Brown Vinyl Interior and Reclining Seats.
Shipped to Babylon NY and fairly plain otherwise; no power steering and just manual-tune radio, Climatizer, whitewall tires, wheel covers, and undercoat! 'Surprising that it even had reclining seats.
Come to think of it, that might have been one of the lowest-sticker-price Super Hawks built in 1964; a real oddity, but a real Super Hawk, too.
As near as can figure it, it probably came in under $4,000 on the sticker: I compute an MSRP of $3,879.28 plus freight, since I don't know what the freight would have been.
I doubt that freight would have bumped the MSRP over $4,000, however, so this car had to be one few genuine Super Hawks with a sticker under $4,000...maybe the only one, for all we know. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Golly, I just noticed the asking price: $3,500.
If you could inventory 'most everything being there with it, it's gotta be worth that money all day long. Gee... BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

You know how many '64 Bermuda Brown Hawks are floating around? For that matter, you know how many '64 Bermuda Brown R1 Hawks are floating around? I only know of one of the regular Hawks in that color, and the owner is in our Chapter!
Don't let the color fool you, it's a really sharp color on that car, so somebody needs to pick up this car and finish the restoration!1964 Studebaker Commander R2 clone
1963 Studebaker Daytona Hardtop with no engine or transmission
1950 Studebaker 2R5 w/170 six cylinder and 3spd OD
1955 Studebaker Commander Hardtop w/289 and 3spd OD and Megasquirt port fuel injection(among other things)
