This is a 1963 Avanti that a friend bought and the day he received it he found out his cancer of a few years came back and he lost any interest in doing anything with it, so he said see if you can get my money out of it, he paid $5700.00 for it it is a R-2 car when I got it home to check it out it looks and sounds like an Avanti engine but numbers state full flow 259 truck engine all the supercharger things are on it but the charger and bonnet, it runs but needs a carb. rebuild also it is not the sealed carb. I will keep this short if anyone is interest in it just e-mail me or call 510-266-2522.....Bob Went under the Avanti today and every thing looks good, I think this is a California car, there was some rust on the rear cross member but not sure if it is from damage or just rust from someone using a jack on it, it is solid but there might be something stating there.. The vin. tag number is 63R-2204 and the upper plate number is 63 RQ 1352...Bob Bob Peterson / C & B Studebakers Castro Valley, CA
