Hmmmm....'wish they had posted a Serial Number so we could see if it really is an R-engined car.

(But as a 292, maybe it's got an old Y-block Ferd engine in it now , replacing the Ford-sourced Studebaker 289?)

I see a 64 emblem on top of the grill shell, and another emblem in the lower left are of the grill I cannot make out.

[BobPalma]

Right, Joe. I've enlarged that lower left (right as we are looking at it) grille emblem and I don't believe it is an R-engine emblem. It looks like one of the generic Hawk Bird emblems. BP

If it IS an R-powered '64 GT, it would have to be an R1, as the one-and-only Horizon Green R2 has been located: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...tory-this-year

Bob, that car is in Ravenna, one town (about six miles) east of me. I can arrange to at least look at it.

It's a mismash of parts it does say it's a 63....and it DOES have 63 side grilles.

If it is an original '63 with an R2 in Green Mist, then its one of 8!

I see more and more CL ads that say "text only" for contact. How about all of us that have an interest in what they are selling but do not text?

I agree, Gary. That text number is his phone number, but I have an old-fashioned cell phone and it took my probably ten minutes to type out via text, that I lived in nearby Kent and wanted to see the Hawk! (I haven't heard back from him yet.)

[chumad]

Bill, any luck with the fella getting back to you?

[Studeboro]

Bill and I both contacted the owner and will be looking at the car on Tuesday eve, soonest we could get there due to owners work schedule will give more info and pics if we can
We both live close.

I sold an R1 power shift to someone up that way about six years ago I think it was the same color. It was not a Pkg R1 but was a factory R1 but was a 64, not a 63. My car came out of Montana I believe.
