Studebaker Avanti R-2
1963 Studebaker Avanti
1963 Avanti R-2. Had been on display or in climate-controlled storage since about 1979. All glass good. Body is sound and has really good body panel alignment. Especially for an Avanti. Doors shut smooth and sure. I believe the paint has been redone, in the original color, sometime in the past but is in good condition for a car this old.Interior mostly original. I had to replace the carpet and re-upholster the front seats. Radio is now a Retro Sound w/ Bluetooth. Dash speaker is Retro stereo. Power window systems were replaced with Nu-Relics and operate perfectly. All gages were removed cleaned, polished and checked. Clock worked on the bench but has since quit.Chassis is mostly original. Some small rust spots on rear of passenger side frame were repaired. Torque boxes are good. Turner brakes were installed on front and new wheel cylinders on rear. New power booster and dual master cylinder installed. Transmission serviced and adjusted and works perfectly. Twin-Traction rear end with 3.73 ratio. Four new radial tires.Engine was removed and completely rebuilt as a strong standard in all sizes. This is a Keystone engine. RS2329. Distributer is an HEI system and alternator is a single wire internal regulator. Paxton Supercharger has been rebuilt.Car runs VERY well.This will be a cash sale or a long lead time for even a cashier's check. Clear Texas title in my name. The body VIN is listed on the title. This car will carry no warranty whatsoever.More than welcome to ask questions and to inspect. I will respond to serious questions in a timely manner and will post helpful questions and answers.
