This very rare '64 Studebaker Avanti is one of only 703 built. It is not a restoration and you would be the second true owner if you purchased this gem of a collectible. Avanti is the Italian word for FORWARD, and this factory Paxton supercharged 240HP R2 should be used as the standard for what restorers should aim for if they had to restore one. This is a street Avanti that was cherished by the original owner and has never seen bad weather. It performs today like the day it was sold. It is an unmolested car. Even the original TUBE RADIO and clock works. Avanti boasted a fiberglass body with a radical razor edged front fender design which turns heads everywhere it shows up. It is so very rare that many owners have it trailer driven to car shows. Its interior is unreal with its aircraft cockpit controls and sleek console design. Notice from the photos that this car was seldom used for passengers. The owner enjoyed driving this car so much that he collected a large amount of Studebaker materials that are available with the car. This model is an R2 with the best Studebaker Super Charged 289 V-8. Though Studebaker is no longer producing cars, the Avanti is still producing smiles and nods of respect for one of America’s historic and iconic automobile manufacturers. Owning this car will continue the legend that is Studebaker. Features: Avanti featured many features that were ahead of its time.
