1963 STUDEBAKER AVANTI. HAVE RECENTLY GONE THROUGH THE MECHANIC\'S OF THE CAR AND REPLACED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: CLEANED AND RESEALED GAS TANK NEW EDELBROCK CARBURETOR NEW BRAKE BOOSTER NEW BRAKE LINES NEW FUEL LINES NEW PLUGS NEW CAP AND ROTOR THE CAR NOW RUNS GREAT. IT RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 289CI STUDEBAKER V8 ENGINE. IT ALSO RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR WAS RESTORED 6 YEARS AGO AND THEN PUT AWAY. THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AND DRIVES VERY WELL FOR ITS AGE. THERE ARE NO LEAKS. IT ALSO DOES NOT BLOW ANY SMOKE. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME AND ITS STILL EXCELLENT. AS YOU CAN SEE ITS ALL STAINLESS. AS YOU CAN SEE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS EXCELLENT. ALL THE CHROME IS THERE AND I JUST HAD THE AIR CLEANER COVER RECHROMED. THE BODY DOES NOT HAVE ANY STRESS CRACKS AS THEY USUALLY DO. 6 YEARS AGO THE BODY AND PAINT WERE REDONE AND WHILE THE BODY HAS HELD UP EXCELLENT THE PAINT HAS FADED. YOU CAN SEE SOME SPOTS WHERE THE PRIMER IS SHOWING THRU. ALL THE CHROME LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN DONE AT THAT TIME AS IT SHOWS EXCELLENT. ITS NOT KNOWN IF THE ENTIRE INTERIOR WAS REPLACED. IT SHOWS SO WELL SO IT APPEARS THAT WAY. BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE SON WHOS FATHER HAD PASSED AWAY. HE DID NOT KNOW AND WE COULD NOT FIND ANY RECEIPTS. HIS FATHER HOWEVER BOUGHT THIS CAR 11\\2\\1970. HE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 50 YEARS AND LOVED IT.THE SEATS SHOW VERY LITTLE WEAR AND DO NOT HAVE ANY RIPS OR TEARS. THE DOOR PANELS FRONT AND BACK DO NOT SHOW ANY WEAR EITHER. ALL THE KICK PANELS ARE THERE AND ONLY SHOW A LITTLE WEAR YOU HAVE TO LOOK CLOSE. THE STEERING WHEEL AND GAGES ARE ORIGINAL AND ARE EXCELLENT. THE TOP OF THE DASH MUST OF HAD A CRACK OR RIP AND IT HAS A PATCH ON IT THAT MATCHES THE DASH EXACT BUT YOU KNOW ITS THERE. ALL THE GAGES WORK AND SO DO ALL THE LIGHTS. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR IS LIKE NEW. THE TORQUE BOXES AND HOG TROUGHS MUST HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS BECAUSE THEY ARE PERFECT.Body Style: CoupeDoors: 2
