Eric,

That is my serial #. How many R2's had the 4 speed and disc brakes? Out of the
original cars, how many of those are still on the road? In the fall of 1962,
when did Studebaker start producing the '63's? I think the car companies didnt
start the new production until Sept? Is that correct?

number 63v-1620, (white, 4-speed, disc brakes, R2) correct? If so, yours was
the third R2 Hawk made. According to my roster from a few years ago, both of
the prior two still survive.

engines were not installed in order - earlier serial number cars might have a
later engine number, and vise-versa There were a total of 21 JT-powered cars in
total built before yours (Hawks and Larks, excluding Avantis) of which six were
R2s

was told they started engine at JTS1005. Do you know as far as documented cars
still accounted for, is mine the earliest Super Hawk still on the road? Matt
