I told Brent I would tell his the back stroy the next time I see him on why I want a 64 hawk but I'll fill you guy's in now. I just retired about a year ago and now run a small restoration shop out of my home in Princeton MN. Brent aka Milaca has agreed to sell me his 64 hawk. When I was 16 or 17 I worked at a gas station in milaca mn. Well one night I didn't want to go to work so I called in and said my car wouldn't start. The station was owned by the local Ford dealer at the time. THe next night at work the boss comes up to me and says you need a second car so when yours wont start you can still make it to work. [he had my number] Anyway he says I just took in a studebaker and a 55 olds on trade on a new Mustang. I've got nothing in the olds so if you give me $35. for it to do the paper work you can have it. So I stoped on the way home to check it out. There it was parked right next to this white 64 hawk with a black half roof. Just fell in love with that car but knew there was no way My dad would sign a loan for me. So I got the beat up Olds. I loved the looks of gt hawks from that day on. Well is been over 45 years and it looks like I will finally be getting my 64 hawk I've always wanted.Thank again Brent I should see you in a couple of weeks. Steve

Good luck with your project Steve, cool story!

Thanks. That 64 was only the second hawk I had see in my life. My dad had a 60 lark and a buddy's dad had a 50 bullet nose he had gotten from his dad but that was all I had seen for stude's. My uncle gave me some old popular mechacnic magazines when I was 15 and I saw a road test on a hawk in there. Then a few weeks later I saw a ad for one at a used car lot for cheap so I took my dad with me to look at it. We took it for a test drive and he said no way are you buying this peice of junk. I was P.Oed at the time but now looking back on it I'am sure he was right. If he had let me get it I'am sure it would have been the biggest money pit a young guy could have owned. I know it was really rough. That was my frist look at a hawk but alway did like them.
