57 Studebaker Coupe 289 Supercharger Automatic barn find

Studebaker Golden Hawk 1957 Description

This Golden Hawk has been owned and garaged since the 1970's. The car has it's original power train with the McCulloch supercharger. [The bad] The front drivers and passengers floor pan had been poorly patched some time ago. The rocker panels have been patched as well with filler. There is some blistering in both rear quarter panels. before the wheel wells. [The good] The fenders. doors. trunk lid. trunk pan. hood are all solid. Everything is there for a easy restore. No major dings or dents. Looks to be all original sheet metal. The stainless trim looks good and the chrome is driver quality. The seats had been covered in the past but the gold original trim is still beneath for the new owner to match and replace. The engine was running 10 years ago and after a carburetor rebuild. oil change. plug wires and battery it runs once again from a gas can. The gas tank will have to be drained and cleaned. No brakes at present but have an extra master cylinder and wheel cylinders for all four wheels. The car is not drive-able now but could be easily put back on the road. I do have the air cleaner and small gold trim missing on rear quarter that's not pictured.
