I looked at three interesting Gran Turismo Hawks at two different locations today....A pair of '62's, and the other a '63. Here's the '62's.......(The owner intends to restore the automatic transmission car,...the factory 4 speed car he considers to be a parts car.

Here's the '62 GT that the owner hopes to restore...This car was unfortunately completely sand-blasted years ago...and not put into primer afterwards, so there's a substantial coat of surface rust on it...the frame is solid, although the body itself needs the usual lower rust repairs...It came with two NOS 1/4 panels....289, auto.
This Hawk has the optional extra underseat heater on the driver's side....and two really nice '62 GT Hawk aluminum deck lid 'grilles', which were in the trunk.Last edited by SN-60; 08-27-2016, 03:32 PM.

This 'package' came with a healthy Avanti R1 engine that he intends to hook up to the 4 speed.....The car has power steering, so ultimately might be a nice driver!

Here's the '63 GT...This is an interesting car, as it was last 'on the road' in 1968....I didn't get the mileage, but apparently it's quite low.
It's a 3 speed with o/d car, with power steering....This Hawk was taken off the road due to engine problems, and it has it's original engine, plus a full-flow 289 that was removed from a wreck in '68....There's very little grease build up on the second engine, and it also 'probably' is low mileage.
Check out the 'puffy' '63 style rear deck lid grille!
It does have typical rust in the outer rockers and lower 1/4's. The driver's side rocker panel was replaced years ago. (car has sat in this garage for 48 years!!)

Interesting that none of these cars has a full dash. I would have thought the buyer of the 4 speed car would have wanted a tach. I see the 63 does have a tach, but no clock. I guess the reason I noticed was that both of the 62 GT Hawks that I owned had full dashes and they were just 2 barrel V-8 with automatic cars."In the heart of Arkansas."

That '63 GT is quite unusual, it appears to be an Early Car with the '62 Firewall, and some kind of Mod with a Air duct put through the Defroster Hole blockout Cover.
But SOMETHING has been swapped, because that is a quite Late Walnut faced Dash! The Two could not go together.StudeRich

I don't know the price paid for both but even if it was free one could not put together one as nice as the 62 GT I have on e-bay right now for $11,500 and the one I have is supercharged and very nice interior, in fact every thing is nice, just trying to find a good home for it.Candbstudebakers

I spoke with the owner of the white '63 GT Hawk today and asked if it was possibly for sale.....It is....and he's asking $1,000 or best offer. (This would include the extra engine)
Anyone seriously interested can PM me, and I'll put you in touch with the guy.
Remember,....SERIOUS inquires only!
