Description:

1963 Studebaker Avanti
** Extremely Rare one of approximately 570 ** 1963 4 speed Avantis ever made! ** The addition of Air Conditioning, Power steering, Dual traction, etc makes this car even more rare **
Do not confuse the 63/64 Avantis with the reproduction Avanti II cars, * **** they are not the same at all.

T
he Studebaker Avanti was introduced on April 26, 1962.
This car is
Number 346 off the assembly line.
* **** It is 53 years old, and It has never been restored * ****
It is one of only 213 cars made in September 1962!
289 V-8 Studebaker engine, original body and interior, new brakes, new tires, factory air, power steering, 4-speed standard transmission, runs good. Clear title.
63/64 Avant total 18 month production was only 4, 643. (VERY RARE!)
Options include air conditioning, power steering, twin traction limited slip differential, and I am pretty sure it has the hill holder option by the way the transmission acts.
All early Avantis came equiped with a 140 mph speedometer.
The optional four-speed full-synchromesh transmission was a T-10A, and it featured 2.54:1 first, 1.92:1 second, 1.51:1 third and 1.00:1 fourth gears.
The easily shifted manual transmissions were available with Studebaker's famous Hill Holder.
Avantis offered the Twin Traction limited-slip differential as a desirable option.
Studebaker set itself apart from the crowd by specifying standard Bendix 11.5-inch disc brakes for the front of every Avanti, while the rear brakes were finned drums measuring 11 x 2 inches.
Power assist was standard, and a total of 377 square inches of swept area meant that Avantis were among the best-stopping cars of their day.
This Avanti has a very good body, but has a few flaws.
The paint is a 10-20 footer, but is still presentable as it is very old.
The interior is very good but also has a few flaws. (It is original the best I can tell).
The tires are new. Wheel covers are pretty nice, and the brakes have been gone through.
The underbody is quite good also but could use a good detailing.
The car runs and stops fine.
This is a great investment compared to many other cars not as rare.
Plus the Avanti can be driven daily once you get it ready. This is an extremely rare version of the Avanti because of the 4 speed transmission, power steering, limited slip differential, and air conditioning!
This car is due for a big jump in value soon in my opinion. (very undervalued)!
Sold as is, so please ask questions before bidding
Thanks.
