for sale

Price: US $10,000.00

Description:

Parting with a beautifully restored Rust free 1963 Studebaker Avanti. One of only 4647 Avantis were ever built by the Studebaker Corporation from June 1962 - December 1963. This 1963 Avanti is only one of 3258 units that were manufactured in 1963. Sold brand new in California, it spent most of its life there and shows only three owners. It is powered by a matching number 289 V-8 (240 HP) and a three speed Power-shift automatic transmission. Only 10k miles on the
power-train since it was rebuilt. This car runs and drives excellent, with zero lane travel, no shakes/shudder. The car was originally Avanti Red and was recently changed to a stunning Merlot metallic (04 ford Thunderbird color). This high quality paint job (over $9k) is about four years old but looks like it was done yesterday . The interior is black and is in great shape. These cars were the first mass produced American car to have front disc brakes. The body was made of fiberglass, for lightweight handling and performance. Safety features included an overhead, vinyl-covered roll-bar, door reinforcements, and door locks designed with a stainless steel pin and lock system to achieve a positive lock. The suspension had front and rear sway bars. The Avanti set 20 speed records, including the 4-speed transmission record of 172 mph and the automatic transmission speed record of 168 mph. Not only did this car preform well, its was also built for comfort. It is loaded with options that make this classic such a pleasure to drive such as power steering, power windows, disc brakes, factory Air Conditioning (that has been updated and blows cold but could use a recharge) two speed electric wipers and much more. Its had a few updates like a 10 disc CD changer and complete sound system, brand new tires, new shocks, new fuel pump, new coils and the fans and radiators have been upgraded to keep the motor cool. The torque boxes (or hog troughs) in this Avanti have already been replaced. All dash gauges, lights and blinkers are in working order, as well as the factory horn. This car is a true American classic that is getting harder and harder to find, especially in this shape. This car is made for long trips or for cruising down to the car show. Having already won many trophies, this beauty will easily add a few more to the collection. Bid with confidence and be the proud new owner of a piece of American engineering history.
