This Avanti came in to my possession as compensation for completing a ground up restoration on a 59 corvette. A close friend from Florida owned it for I think about 5 years. I think he was the third owner. I have not put the car in my name yet as I never intended to keep it. I have the Florida title signed by the owner. If that is a problem for you as a buyer I can change it to my name in less than a week. My friend drove it infrequently in Florida, and I only drive it less than a mile at a time just to keep it lubricated. What I know about the mechanical condition is the following:Mileage unknown. All original except wheels, high energy ignition system, original distributor with mag pickup in place of points. Tachometer disconnected because of this modification. Not sure about the radio antenna. Wrong alternator. Has built in regulator. External regulator still in place. Engine rebuilt, hog troughs replaced, and rear cross member replaced. Frame has surface rust but sound. The bottom plates on the rear forward of axle area are rusted due to trapped water and are all available at Studebaker international for not a lot of money. They were welded on at the factory to box in the frame. Repainted original color. Left rear brake shoes hang occasionally when backing up, frees when pulling forward. Shoes are good Just non use and surface corrosion issue I am sure. One of the inner tie rod ends is a bit sloppy and needs replaced and the car pulls to the right. Runs like a rocket no smoke and very tight engine. Shifts good. Look at the original window sticker for the options on the car. The car could be a safe local driver with very little work or a very excellent subject for ground up restoration. I have looked closely for impact evidence on the car and found none. The only thing I found was the lower scoop has cracks on both ends probably from a curb impact or something similar. The bottom line is that this is a solid unmolested survivor of a very rare car. I will consider trades for early corvette project, 69 or earlier. My reputation on E-Bay speaks to my honesty and integrity so bid with complete confidence. The car is in New Bern NC and I will gladly show it. It is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. I will be glad to make more pictures of specific areas if needed.
