Started cut and buff on my friend’s Powerhawk

Nice. I'm not positive but I think that my dad's 1962 golden hawk had a 289. It looked just like the black one you showed
62 Hawk would have been a GT (Gran Turismo) Hawk, and would have had a 289 - 2 barrel, 4-barrel, or supercharged.

GT Hawks were basically the same body as the 56 Hawks, but note the different roof (copied from the late fifties - early sixties Thunderbirds).
