Vehicle Description
The Avanti name has an interesting past. The first and last
"Studebaker" from South Bend Indiana was 63/64 model years but
after the closure of the plant and the end of Studebaker
Automobiles but a couple dealers bought the model name, tooling and
Studebaker truck production rights and formed Avanti Motor
Corporation and would later go on to build the Avanti II out of
left-over parts and used GM and Ford Chassis and running gears to
continue to build small batch cars for a number of years until the
1980's. This particular car is a running, driving, shifting and
stopping car with decent rubber. I am actually quite surprised on
how well it starts and goes down the road. The paint and interior
are rough although very complete. The underside of the car (see
pics) is rough in spots and the "hog troughs" are completely gone
and there is some frame corrosion. This car could be turned in to a
hot rod, a resto mod or just fine tune some things and drive it as
is. This car comes to us from a widow whose deceased husband
purchased the car so we do not know a whole lot about it. We
welcome any questions and inspections here in our Traverse City
location.
