In 1963, Studebaker went all in on the production of this car in an
effort to raise their company out of financial difficulties. The
result of their efforts produced this four passenger fiberglassed
body stunning sport sedan which to this day continues to be a
timeless beauty. The Avanti claimed many speed records to it's
credit in it's fledgling year and the supercharged Avanti was then
the fastest production car on the planet recording 178 miles per
hour at the Bonneville salt flats. This ultra low mileage R2 Avanti
has increased in value over the years and should continue to do so.
It had spent many years off the road prior to it's complete frame
off professional restoration and has been brought back to original
condition with a color change being the only deviation. Equipped
with period correct mag wheels, the correct original Avanti hub
caps are included with the car. Tired of looking at your
investments on a piece of paper? Then it's time for you to drive
