The Studebaker Hawk
The Studebaker company out of South Bend Indiana was known for its sedate but sturdy styling. It's low slung, sleek and eye catching styling caught the eye of many, including the automotive press which loved it. The Hawk name was branded to these coupes by the mid fifties and it continued successfully into production with some changes through the 1964 model year. Today, Studebaker is best known for the Hawk and later, the much applauded Avanti. Supercharged versions of these cars are rising in value as the buying public sees the value and contribution they made to the car industry.
Current Inventory
Here are our vehicles currently up for adoption:
1988 Chrysler Lebaron Highline Convertible
$4,900. SUPER CLEAN, ONE OWNER car with a RARE five speed manual transmission! Rarely do you come across one so clean and so unique. Special ordered car when new by a Chrysler engineer in Detroit. Beautiful and original Claret Red finish with an immaculate red vinyl interior. Equipped only with a sport handling and suspension package from the factory, this car has few options but looks very rich! Runs and drives like new. Lots of recent service including a timing belt and brakes. Ready to roll. Turn key driver that will create a conversation wherever you go! Never in foul weather and always garaged! None finer! Odometer shows 104K miles but stopped working just last summer so true mileage is closer to 107K, You'd swear this was was two years old with FAR less mileage. Maintenance and care is key and this car proves it! Tons more pics an even a walk around video available to anyone interested. Won't last!
1960 Rambler Rebel
$14,900. Beautiful Aqua Mist over Frost White with a tri color original interior! Brand new and correct Coker Classic Tires too! This is a beautifully driving and well equipped version of a rarely seen model. FACTORY AIR CONDITIONED, power steering and brakes make this a fantastic classic cruiser for the entire family. But wait! It's a Rebel so it also has the AMC 250 V8 engine and a push button automatic transmission. I've personally driven this car quite a bit and to vintage car meets and few cars gain the crowd this one does. Another affordable classic from your friends at OCG! Message or call for more details and pics!
1990 Chrysler's TC By Maserati
$6,500. What can we say? What happens when An American car company partners with an Italian auto maker and sources it's powertrain from Japanese parts bins (Mitsubishi 3.0 V6)? Well you've got the largely unloved and poorly sold TC. Lee Iacocca had high hopes for this model but unfortunately the buying public saw through it. Deep down inside, it was still a K-car....So now it's an orphan and one we have lots of appreciation for here. I've bought and sold more of these than I can count and this is about the cleanest, most well kept one I've ever had. Sold new in Miami, then with just 15,000 miles was sold to it's second owner in St Louis (An executive for Anheuser-Busch) where it was lovingly cared for. Odometer reads just 84,000 miles with a clean Carfax and title to back up mileage. Virtually impeccable exterior and interior. Nicest TC leather interior I've ever seen. Original TC floor mats too! Always cared for and garaged. Mechanically perfect with a fresh oil change and tie rods. Some typical issues include a finicky stereo and an air conditioner that blows just warm air. Power pull down for the tops (car has both a removable hard and soft top as standard.) are inop but thankfully Chrysler knew their design for such was so crappy they built in a manual overide so that's no real issue. Also, recently the odometer stopped spinning. A SUPER common issue with all 80's-early 90's Chrysler products so always be aware. Full disclosure here. The defect must be recent as CarFax shows no odometer discrepancies. Parts are available to fix. Car looks and drives like a million bucks! People won't believe what you paid! Several more pics and a walk around video being posted to my YouTube channel later this week....

1969 Corvair Monza Coupe

Optional an rebuilt (and performace built) 140 HP flat six (Probably boosted to 160 plus!) paired with a Powerglide automatic transmission. Instant show winner. NEEDS NOTHING. Turn key. Drive anywhere. Number 1069 of just 6000 Corvairs built for the 1969 model year. Simply outstanding! Ask for more pics and a running walk around video.
