This 1963 Studebaker Daytona Convertible has been lightly modified and is a real sweet ride. A California car from
new this car has been tastefully modified from original.
The original 259 cubic inch V8 motor has been replaced with a 289 cubic inch V8 with factory Supercharger from a
1957 / 1958 Golden Hawk. This is coupled to a late model rebuilt automatic transmission. The performance is
fantastic as this car really gets up and motors. Installing the Golden Hawk motor made it necessary to install the
Golden Hawk hood scoop.
Repainted in Regal Red with matching real leather interior. Disc brakes and a rear sway bar have been added to
improve handling.
If you want a super fun car to drive around that has some great options, then this is an ideal candidate worthy of
your consideration.
This has been very nicely restored 5 to 10 years ago and has been set up for driving and to give you years of
trouble free motoring.
Factory options include :-
V8
Power Steering
Layback Seats
Tinted Glass
Radio
Modifications include :-
Replacement Supercharged motor from a 1957 or 1958 Golden Hawk
Turner disc Brakes replacing the front drums.
Dave Theibault Rear Sway Bar
Aftermarket Alternator replaces the original alternator
American Racing imitation Halibrand Kidney bean Mag wheels
New Exhaust and Shock absorbers. Rebuilt Front End. Tires are all excellent.
The motor is strong and gets excellent oil pressure when warm. It shifts directly and beautifully with the
automatic transmission.
Interior wise the car has been beautifully re-trimmed in genuine black and brown leather with red piping giving a
striking look. Carpets and convertible top have been replaced. The dash pad has been modified from the original
with the addition of a black capping piece to match the rest of the interior. A brand new set of power top motor,
hydraulic hoses and rams have been fitted.
The car is virtually 99% rust free with the only evidence of rust repair being about a 4inch square patch on the
drivers side front foot well.
