Fresh in our showroom is this beautiful white Studebaker Avanti. We acquired this out of Massachusetts from a husband and wife who were the 2nd owners of the car. The plan was for them to restore and enjoy the car but due to health concerns the restoration was never fully finished. They put a ton of new parts into the car just recently which included a new aluminum gas tank, new brakes on all 4 corners, new water pump, new ignition cables, and new electronic distributor. A new transmission was also put into the car as part of the restoration as well as a new torque converter. Powering this coupe is Studebakers 289ci V8 mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. The front brakes have been converted to disc as well as a new master cylinder. We have loads of documents and receipts that show what was replaced or repaired during their ownership as well as the original build sheet! We found that the first owners marked their names into the cup holder seals as well as in the glove box and they seem to match the names on the original build sheet which is a cool piece of history. Only built for 2 years, 1963 was the last year of production for the Avanti. A total of about 6,000 Avanti's were made, significantly less than president of Studebaker Sherwood Egbert expected. This car is not perfect by any means, but it is a great car for someone who wants a cheap classic that they can work on and enjoy! Stop in our showroom and check out this Avanti today!
Just look and you can tell that this vehicle was very well cared for by its owners and kept in show condition! When you drive this vehicle, it has the feel that you're looking for...runs and drives just like new! This is a no excuse vehicle. This car will make a fine collector's piece for you and your family for years to come! Instead of looking at your dream car, drive it. We take trades and have financing available.
