    In late 1962 I ordered a Gran Turismo Hawk! The dealer advised me of some coming options that would soon be available! Seems he had a mole in South Bend! What I eventually wound up with was a '63 with an optional R-3 supercharged 304 CID Avanti engine, front disc brakes, 4 speed, beefed up suspension, and other goodies. The Avanti engines had some modifications not found on the stock engines such as special camshaft, valve springs, etc! As I recall there were less than 100 built with that engine option! Car was very stable at high speeds, held the road unlike anything I had ever driven. It would peg the 160 MPH speedometer, Had it over 30 years, put over 240,000 miles on it. Sold it in '93, still running. Been kicking myself every since!

    As a locksmith of 20+ years, I can state that the lock covers were there to keep dirt out of the locks, so the locks would work with the key, regardless of the weather. I wish all cars had them.

    Is this an audition for the remake of Grease?

    Very refreshing to see a young person with a deep love of classic American automobiles. Parenting done right. Well done.

    I have never seen a person more in love with their car than this. I can't even begin to imagine how overjoyed he must've been when his dad helped pitch in for the car.

    Really superb narration and presentation. I predict that you have a bright future. A high school buddy had a similar one that we used to fill with friends and take to the beach. It performed well and we had a blast in it. That was a very long time ago.
