Question: 63 GT Hawk

Jul 28, 2008 12 Replies

On a 63 GT Hawk right (passenger side) front fender there is 2 holes just below the air vent, my guess for a emblem. None on the drivers side, what emblem is suppose to be there?

Did that fender come off an R series car?

Matthew

No, its on a R series car.

Rick

Still waiting on that answer. . . I'm sure that its for a emblem but which and what does it look like?

Rick

Sounds like it's for the badge for a package car.

nate

What kind of badge would that be?

Here's the '64 style. The '63 style was rectangular shaped.

It is for a rectangular badge with a brushed chrome surface that has the word "Supercharged" engraved in script lettering. Chances are your other fender was replaced at one time and that's why it doesn't have the mounting holes.

1963 only

For an R-1 car it only says "Avanti Powered"

Also requires p/n# 3055x7 nut & sealer

Have you checked the car serial number with JTN yet? does it have trac bars, redline tach, disc brakes, etc.?

Your guess that one right. . . it must have been the second replacement. Thanks to John and his racing it down the road just after the car got freshly painted and not checking to see if the hood was latched!

This one is not Supercharged but has everything else. . . disc brakes, air, power steering, etc.

It still might be a "package car" even without the supercharger - there were Super Hawks made in both R1 and R2 flavors. I'd check it out, might be worth something (maybe just bragging rights?) the A/C and P/S were not part of the package but there's no reason it couldn't have been ordered that way.
