No superlative can quite sum up the full impact of this 1963 Studebaker Avanti, which has been transformed into an award-winner and HOT ROD magazine cover car. While outwardly almost completely stock in appearance, it is in fact overflowing with custom touches and finishes. Chrome wire wheels and Gold graphics add flash to the car’s deep Red paint, and the interior is sumptuously upholstered in suede and hand-tooled leather with gold accents in a Western motif. The underhood area, driveline and undercarriage are spectacularly detailed and finished - if it isn’t painted and pinstriped, chrome or stainless, it is the genuine gold plating found on the diff carrier, transmission and engine oil pans, valve covers and more, all of it culminating in the ISCA National Best Custom Award for this stunning Stude. Highlights: - R3 304/500 HP engine - ISCA National winner Best Custom - Gold plated rear, transmission, oil pan and valve covers - Suede and Gold interior - Hand tooled leather interior - Front cover and feature car Hot Rod magazine - Complete frame-off restoration
