Vehicle description
First up is my information.My name is Keith Moser.I am selling this car for a friend of mines wife.My pal recently passed away and I have been asked to sell some of his cars on consignment.We are both members of the Vanderbilt region of the AACA and he was a longtime member and avid collector. This auction is for an all original Studebaker Avanti,1964 R1 It was purchased by my friend in 2008 from the daughter of the original owner and the history is known from new.The car has never been restored,repainted,modified in any way and is all original from the factory. How hard is that to find.They are only original once ,they can be restored 1000 times. Once a pickle,always a pickle.
The Studebaker Avanti is a personal luxury coupe [7] manufactured and marketed by Studebaker Corporation between June 1962 and December 1963. A halo car for the maker, [8] it was marketed as "America"s only four-passenger high-performance personal car." [9] Described as "one of the more significant milestones of the postwar industry", [1] :p257 the Raymond Loewy -designed car offered safety features and high-speed performance. The fastest production car in the world upon its introduction, a completely stock Avanti could reach over 178 mph (286 km/h) [8] with its supercharged 289-cubic-inch (4,740 cm 3 ) engine. In all, it broke 29 world speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats . [8] [10]
1963-64 Studebaker Avanti
The rakish 1963-64 Studebaker Avanti was among the most daring 1960s American cars, a modern masterpiece with totally unique American styling that even top exotic Italian auto stylists wouldn"t attempt to do.
The Avanti had advanced safety features, when no U.S. automaker particularly gave a darn about safety. Such features included a built-in roll bar, padded interior and door latches that became structural body members when closed. Only 3,834 Avantis were built in 1963 and just 809 were classified as 1964 models. The general rule is that the 1963 Avanti had round headlight surrounds and the 1964 model had square ones. The front had no conventional grille- just an air scoop below a thin bumper. The hood had an asymmetrical hump, and the interior featured aircraft-style instrumentation and controls, some placed above the windshield. Occupants sat in four slim-section bucket seats similar to those in an Alfa Romeo sports car. Powering the Avanti was a modified version of Studebaker"s dated but sturdy 289-cubic-inch V-8. This "Jet Thrust" engine developed 240 horsepower in standard "R1" form, with such items as a 3/4-race high-lift camshaft, dual-breaker distributor, four-barrel carburetor and dual exhausts. It developed 290 horsepower in supercharged "R2" form.
This automobile was purchased in early 1964 by the original owner.He had this for many years and drove it sparingly(obvious by the 41000 miles).It was always in a smoke free environment and still is to this day.The interior is Flawless,with all the cool Avanti style, Gauges and levers and bells and whistles.Everything works correctly including the optional FACTORY Air Conditioning(Note:the window decal on the passenger rear window). The engine was never raced. The car has no cracks or repairs anywhere in the fiberglass and the body is straight as an arrow.The original Turqoise Paint(paintcode P-6432),,is in nice condition.It has sun fading and the trunk lid has a 14 inch scratch and some bubbling . My son the body guy suggests that the trunk lid be removed and the paint color matched and just the trunk lid gets a repaint. There are alot of quality paint guys available that can do that. The rest of the paint should detail up nicely with a professional detailing. Wheels and tires are Beauty, Myself and my friends son took the car out of the barn,wiped it down and fired it up and put 5 miles on the 3 days ago(7/5/2021) and its all its supposed to be fast as $%#@,handles nice no smoke and a blast to drive.The original 289 cubic inch 240 horsepower engine isn"t even broken in yet. The original owner babied it. This car is currently registered and insured here in New York. You will become the 3rd owner of this amazing machine with all history from new and enjoy it for years to come. This is a No Reserve Auction for 10 days and the car can be inspected in person .I can be reached at my shop 6316825973. you can also message me throuh Ebay. I am located on Long Island NY All questions and information will go through me and will be promptly answered. .We require a 500.00 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of aucion end the balance to be paid via Wire Transfer or Bank check or you can pay cash in person.
