Riding on a powder-coated 1962 Studebaker GT Hawk chassis, the body is finished in two-tone Cardinal Red with a Silver Micro-Flake top and with hand-drawn pinstripes on the hood and trunk lid.
The custom interior features silver and black vinyl seats and a steering column and wheel sourced from a 1962 Studebaker Hawk.
Power comes from a Tri-Power 348cid 1960 Chevrolet V8 upgraded with ported camel-hump heads, oversized valves, and hydraulic lifters. It’s paired with a 3-speed Turbo 350 automatic transmission.
The odometer shows 30,000 miles, although true mileage is unknown.
