Vehicle Description
This 1963 Studebaker Avanti R2 features an iconic design that is
supplemented by an extra special motor under the hood. With smooth
body lines, the under bumper radiator air intake, and the hallmark
wedge design, the Avanti was one of the most iconic designs in
American automotive history. The '63 Avanti was a fiberglass body
on a modified Lark Daytona chassis and it was the first new body
style for Studebaker since 1953. What makes this particular Avanti
extra special is the 289 Cubic Inch Avanti R2 Supercharged V8 with
a single 4 barrel carburetor that pushed out 289 horsepower, which
was 49 HP more than the R1 Avanti and 39 HP more than Chevy's
standard Corvette. The 4 Barrel Carb has also recently undergone a
complete rebuild. Driving this Avanti is easy because it's loaded
with factory options including Factory Power Steering, Factory
Power Brakes, and a floor-mounted 3-Speed Automatic Transmission.
This Avanti has a fresh new coat of Avanti Red Paint that gives it
the look when it did when it rolled off the factory floor. This
Studebaker sits on 4 whitewall radial tires with full Avanti wheel
covers that make for smooth ride going down the road. The two-tone
beige seats have been completely redone and they look and feel
fantastic. Sitting in the drivers seat of this car makes you feel
like you're sitting in the cockpit of a rocketship, with a factory
speedometer, factory tachometer, and electric clock, as well as
water temp, amp, fuel, vacuum pressure, and oil pressure gauges.
You can listen to all of your tunes because this Avanti also has an
AM radio and aftermarket in-dash 8-track player. And your passenger
can look their best with the vanity mirror in the glovebox. If
you're looking for a rare, high-performance, piece of American
automotive history, this 1963 Studebaker Avanti R-2 is the car for
you!
