1983 Avanti Sports Coupe

 

When this car first was unveiled, writers penned articles using words like  "startling", "unconventional", "sizzling", "elegant" and a "knock-out.". Sure, Avanti's looks got noticed,
 but it was its early track record that set it apart from the competition. Andy Granatelli at
 Bonneville shattered 29 U.S. records in 12 hours. Studebakers and Avantis, smashed 337 different 
USAC records in six classes.  Its performance and styling were both exceptional.  Sportscar World
 said "Studebaker's startling Avanti has caused raised eyebrows among diehards in the American 
motor industry, who have already nicknamed it America's 'Ferrari'."

Interest in this remarkable car continues to grow with every passing year and 2008 will be no
 exception. The Studebaker Avanti is 46 years old in 2008 and remains one of the most revered of
 all classic cars. Restored Avantis look as new in 2008 as they did when first made back in the
 summer of 1962.

 

Avanti Motor Corporation continues to build small numbers of the Ford Mustang-based Avanti even
 today. 

 

You only go around once in life, so dare to be different !  Own an Avanti Sports Coupe.  You
