Dave,
I do not drive them when wet salt is on the road, ever. This winter has been the worst for salting, since I came back here in 2000. But when the roads are completely dry, I don't worry about salt dust this time of year. I drove the 62GT Hawk about 50 miles today, with plenty of salt on the roads, but dry. The GT is sort of the winter rat anyway. Will not drive the 56J even in salt dust. By practicing the above driving habits, I have not had a Stude rust out from under me yet, though none of my cars are even close to perfect, since they are driven.

JoeH. What engine does the 62. GT have in it???? The 62 Hawk is a forite body style. Timeless. Just like the 36 - 37 cords.

It has a Stude 289, V8 with T85 OD transmission & 3.54 rear gears. Have had it since 1985, and bought it in Escondido, CA. Guess its a keeper :)
The wife has a 63GT, which I am currently installing a GM, 700R transmission in. Gonna try it initially with the 3.07 rear gears currently in it. I kinda like tall gears for today's modern highways.
