Description: This wonderful Avanti R1 coupe is in excellent condition at 45 years of age. The body is free of stress cracks, the frame and hog troughs have no rust, and the 240 hp 289 V8 rumbles aggressively and reliably. This car features power steering, power disk brakes, automatic transmission, Twin Traction limited slip differential, and factory air conditioning that puts out ice cold air. The tires show no wear and the car rides well. This is an unrestored car, so you can be sure there are some cosmetic issues, but it is way above average for this type of vehicle. The DREAMSICLE combination of white and tangerine is one of the most sought after versions of the Avanti. These aerodynamic cars were cutting edge in 1963, the first year of production, and today the Avanti is still being manufactured in small numbers, virtually unchanged from this initial design. The original Studebaker Avanti coupes are rare. Just 3834 of these were made in 1963. This is not only a very solid investment, but also an absolute thrill to drive.
