With a breathtaking name like Hawk you might think that this is quite a glamorous car, and you’re right. The Studebaker Hawk was a two-door personal luxury car launched by American automaker Studebaker. Sadly, Studebaker isn’t around anymore, but it’s likely that your parents or grandparents had heard of it. They may have even owned one, and sung its praises to you. Today, we’ve got a stunning 1960 Studebaker Hawk with some neat performance upgrades making it a real sleeper of a car. This sub-14,000 mile machine currently resides peacefully in Granite Bay, California, and is ripe for the taking if subtle looks and menacing performance are your things.
Exterior and Interior
This 1960 Studebaker Hawk wears a smooth coat of beige paint, and comes replete with signature Sixties details such as whitewall tires, custom painted wheel covers, chrome bumpers, chrome mirrors, and of course, fins. The car also has a set of Aqua Blue neon lights beneath for that street rod vibe at night. Inside, you’ve got a rather refined cabin experience thanks to Dynamat insulation with a full carpet kit. This 1960 Studebaker Hawk features seating for four on blue upholstered bench seats, while an Alpine audio system awaits to serenade everyone with music of their choice. There’s air conditioning as well, which is great in this ever-warming world.
Engine
Now for the real deal of this 1960 Studebaker Hawk. It’s got a Studebaker 289ci V8 that’s been stroked and bored out to 341ci, but that’s not all. The engine benefits from custom forged pistons, high speed lightweight rods, a welded, ground and hardened Studebaker crankshaft, a port matched and polished aluminum intake, ported, swirled and polished heads, oversized stainless steel valves, big block competition roller rockers, a special Ground D Elgin cam, R3 exhaust manifold headers, 3 chamber Flowmaster dual exhausts and a custom built Mallory UniLite distributor. Oh, and the engine also gets a boost from a Jacobs Mastermind NOS system. Power goes to the rear wheels via a 700R4 automatic transmission and 9-inch 3.89 rear end with positraction. The car also packs front disc and rear drum brakes.

Studebaker is one of those legendary American automakers that’s long gone but never forgotten. Our automotive history is full of brands that gave us iconic machines—cars that still stir emotion decades later in a way modern tech-focused brands may never match. Today’s vehicles are fast and advanced, but will they inspire the same connection fifty years from now? Will they even survive that long? Classic cars were built with longevity, soul, and mechanical simplicity, not planned obsolescence. That’s why a seventy-two-year-old build like this 1953 Studebaker Commander Pro Street build still exists—and still turns heads. Based out of Hiawatha, Iowa, this restomod has been transformed into a true street-strip performer, featuring a massive LS6 V8 with the current owner reporting just under 700 miles since completion. It’s a striking custom that’s ready for its next run.
The 1964 Studebaker Challenger was the entry-level midsize model in the South Bend automaker’s lineup, offering understated styling and dependable mechanicals at an affordable price. Today, it represents a rare sight on American roads, appealing to collectors of orphan brands and enthusiasts of mid-century design. This example, finished in blue over a matching blue interior, has been repainted in its original color and is reported to remain largely original, preserving the authenticity that makes it special.
Mixing up the old with new can bring about some interesting results, picture this – old school styling with new age performance? Sounds like a match made in heaven. Present today is that match made in heaven and it takes shape with this 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk.
The Pontiac GTO is widely credited with igniting the muscle car era, and this 1968 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe blends that legendary heritage with a host of carefully selected modern upgrades. Showing 40,094 miles on the odometer, this Mayfair Maize example retains the timeless styling cues that made the GTO an icon while benefiting from substantial improvements to its drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. From its desirable hideaway headlights and Ram Air induction setup to its Tremec 5-speed manual transmission and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, this GTO offers a driving experience that is far more refined than when it left the factory. For enthusiasts seeking classic Pontiac muscle without sacrificing drivability, this thoughtfully upgraded example strikes an excellent balance between originality and performance.
While many first-generation Camaros rely on simple engine swaps and cosmetic upgrades, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Restomod was built with a far more comprehensive vision. Beyond its GM Performance LS3 powerplant and Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, this Camaro benefits from an extensive Chris Alston Chassisworks transformation that modernizes nearly every aspect of the driving experience. Finished in Imperial Blue Metallic with gray stripes and complemented by a custom blue and gray interior, it combines the unmistakable style of Chevrolet’s most desirable Camaro generation with the handling, braking, comfort, and reliability expected from a contemporary performance car. With its true mileage unknown, this Camaro stands apart as a professionally engineered restomod rather than simply a restored classic, offering a level of refinement rarely found among vintage muscle car convertibles.
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod is a no-compromise street machine that blends first-generation Camaro styling with modernized high-performance hardware. Showing just 579 miles since completion, this Candyapple Red Camaro has been extensively built around a potent Chevrolet ZZ502 crate engine and a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, delivering the kind of big-block performance that made Camaros legends while benefiting from upgraded driveline, suspension, and fuel system components. Highlights include dual Holley carburetors, a Moser Truetrac-equipped 12-bolt rear end with 3.90 gearing, House of Kolor custom paint, Simpson racing seats and harnesses, and numerous premium aftermarket components throughout. For enthusiasts seeking a show-quality Camaro with serious street and strip credentials, this restomod offers an exciting blend of classic muscle and modern reliability.
