Vehicle Description
Iconic styling meets reliable components - that's why you want an
Avanti II. Of course when that also comes with a well-coordinated
presentation, A/C interior, and a terrific price - well then, this
one is absolutely irresistible.
The Avanti was the boldest Studebaker to hit the streets, but it
was also one of their costliest cars. But there were a select few
who understood the significance of the car penned by the legendary
Raymond Loewy, and they kept it going with small batch, handcrafted
examples like this 1983 Avanti II. This history gives the coupe an
instant appeal, and it's also why someone has taken the time to
keep this one looking so nice. A newer application of medium blue
metallic paint offers a nice shine. When you get this into the
sunlight, it really highlights the artistic blend of crisp lines
and gentle curves on this well-preserved body. The original
form-fitting bumpers follow this same design philosophy to create a
look that's distinctly American and always futuristic.
Inside the blue and gray bucket seat interior continues this
stylish American-style appearance. Everywhere you look, there's the
look of originality. The tuck and roll appearance of the dash,
aircraft-inspired toggle switches, wraparound gauge panel with full
Stewart Warner readouts, and the three-spoke steering wheel with
Avanti center cap - it's all part of a very classic and cool
presentation. And speaking of cool, one upgrade you'll absolutely
appreciate is the modern R134a air conditioning.
While this car was built in South Bend - just like the best
Studebakers - the Avinti II motor is a Chevy 350 cubic-inch V8. So
while you'll always have a connection to the iconic styling, the
mechanical side of this classic is robust and easy to maintain.
Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, it makes the kind of good
power and great torque you want in a cruiser like this. In fact,
with power steering, front disc brakes, a three-speed automatic
transmission, sway bars front & rear, and modern Michelin tires on
classic keystone wheels, this one really does have all the right
ingredients to be a great anytime classic.
Complete with build receipts and maintenance records, it's amazing
you can get this much distinction for such an affordable price. So
don't miss out, call today!
