June 2008 Vehicle Description 1963 Avanti real deal. I purchased the car from a 80 year old gentelman who had no one to pass the car to.He had owned the car for the last 18 years in this time he had repainted the car and rebuilt the 289 engine by a Studebaker expert.The car has the original interior which is in good shape but not perfect.The car is equiped with a/c, power steering, power brakes and electric windows.All the engine chrome is still there and in good shape like a Corvette.This is a nice driving and running car that needs a new home. meadowsclassiccars.com
