r1lark Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I'll say one, built and ran at Bonneville in late '63. I think this was the car that was sold to Dick Passwater to be used in roundg-round racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottgriggs Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I've never heard of an R3-powered Hawk being built, so I will say two R4's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two '64 Gran Turismo Hawks is CORRECT!.....However, one was R3 equipped while the other one was R4 equipped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottgriggs Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Anybody know what became of the R3-powered Hawk? Was it taken to Bonneville or sold privately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the R3 GT Hawk is/was the Dick Passwater car....One of these GT's was later 'totaled'...that may have been the R4 version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
