Details

Factory McCullough supercharged 289cid V8 with 275hp. This stunning Golden Hawk is a factory supercharged car and still maintains all its original factory drivetrain. It has underwent an extensive frame-off restoration and restored to factory specifications. One of only 4,356 Golden Hawks produced that year, it had the new 289cid high performance Studebaker V8 with the VS 57 variable speed McCulloch supercharger. More interestingly, it was factory equipped with the very rare factory 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive, as well as a Twin-Traction posi-traction rear end. The Golden Hawk has been beautifully finished in its original, sinister shade of P5710 Midnight Black. All the interior has been completely restored. In more recent years, the Golden Hawk has benefitted from a high quality frame-off restoration executed over a 5-year period to extremely high standards. Its lavish brightwork, two tone paint, stylish interior, correct silver tailfins and full factory wheel covers included, shod in white wall tires give the true feeling of a luxury high performance personal coupe and the sound of its supercharged V8 engine breathing through dual chrome exhaust tips is more than a hint towards its performance capabilities. In addition to correct and complete emblems and accessories, the engine compartment has been detailed to very high standards as has the fully finished and very tidy trunk compartment and a beautiful undercarriage.
