Vehicle Description
1982 Studebaker Avanti II
Why This Car Is Special
The Avanti and Avanti II is an American performance sports coupe
based on the Studebaker Avanti and marketed through a succession of
five different ownership arrangements between 1965 and 2006.
The Avanti II evolved to have the small-block Chevrolet engine and
GM's Turbo 350 automatic transmission built on the
Studebaker-designed chassis and building one of the 1980s Avanti
IIs required 10 to 12 weeks, depending on special color or
upholstery orders.
We have this stunning white 1982 Avanti II here at Skyway Classics
that has a new Chevrolet Crate 350 cubic inch engine that was
driven very few miles and appears as new.

The Avanti II has a new Chevrolet Crate 350 cubic inch engine that
was driven very few miles and appears as new. It looks great with
the black painted block, heads, and intake, and has chrome valve
covers, factory Chevrolet cast iron exhaust manifolds, 4-barrel
carb, newer HEI type electronics and distributor, chrome open air
cleaner with a chrome lid, air condition, power steering and
brakes, a new larger aluminum radiator, new fuel pump, new battery,
new PS pump, new plugs and wires, power steering power cylinder and
control valve for overhaul with new power steering high pressure
hoses, and all new engine hoses and belts.
Other work that has been done to the Avanti II recently includes
the fuel tank was pulled and new filler hose installed along with
new fuel and vent lines coming from the tank, Air Conditioning
system overhauled with original style rebuilt compressor, new
thermostat, new condenser, drier and all other parts needed to
convert over from old freon to new R134A..
The car starts easily idles and drives smoothly with lots of power.
This is a car you can drive home, no need to ship. The brakes are
excellent, air conditioning is ice cold, and it rides on 5-spoke
American polished mag wheels and newer Goodyear thin white sidewall
tires.
It is a comfortable highway cruiser and has no difficulty
maintaining freeway speeds and the transmission has a factory high
end cruise gear for good mileage and low rpms at 60 and 70 mph.
Acceleration is brisk with the new engine and the 4-bbl Rochester
has a throaty roar when the pedal is floored.
Interior
Looking inside reveals the original Recaro custom leather bucket
seats up front and the rear bench seat which all are wrapped in
soft and subtle navy blue leather. New carpet throughout really
shows off the highly detailed interior with its gorgeous wood
trim.
It has Power windows, antenna, door locks, cruise control, center
console, and the original factory power sunroof/moonroof tells you
that this baby is fully optioned out, the wood steering wheel is a
factory option and is on the original bill of sale.
Exterior
Walking around this gorgeous Avanti II's fiberglass body dressed in
eye-popping and head-turning White you will see that the paint
finish on this car is amazing.
You also can't help but notice all of the chrome, the good body
panel fitment and the tightness of the doors, hood and trunk, as
this car is very nice with no rust and a nice smooth straight
body.
The glass, trim, badges, and overall look is also great and this is
one car you won't see at every car show, it gets attention
everywhere you drive it.
