landman Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Is the '64 GT Hawk resin body to retrofit the 53 Starliner still available? I believe it was made by a John Heyer. Or where would I post hoping to find one for sale?
charlie8575 Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Missing Link now has one for sale, and it's very nice. Charlie Larkin

Ron Hamilton Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 I have one, and it is very nice. Works with the AMT 1953 Studebaker.
landman Posted May 19, 2014 Author Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks guys, I suppose I could buy one and turn it into a '64.
landman Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 Got it today. Turning this into a '64 likely is my next project.
jbwelda Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 very nice! do you mind sharing how much it cost? I am thinking probably 50 or 60 $? well worth it from the looks of it, even a nice box jb
Kris Morgan Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 That thing would make a great lookin Gasser. (Kevin hates when I say that)
landman Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 J.B., it was $80 and yes, it is very nice. I want to replicate the '64 I once owned. Kris, the Hawk will be stock, like mine was. But I was thinking of turning the donor '53 into something fearful I once saw at an all Studebaker show in Peterborough. Someone had taken a '54 and installed the drivetrain and interior of a Buick Grand National and painted the car black. It was so well done, it didn't look modified at all.
Bob Ellis Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 And you buy an AMT 53 Studebaker kit to finish?
jbwelda Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 yes Bob I believe that is the idea. I have a 53 stude panel van from jimmy flintstone I think that I had planned for the kit I already have; I need to buy another to do this GT Hawk, always one of my favorite designs to come out of America. jb
landman Posted October 11, 2014 Author Posted October 11, 2014 I remember seeing a black one sitiing under the canopy of the hotel I was checking in. It was around '78. That image create an intense desire to own one. It wasn't until '95 that I got the one above. And what a car it was!
