That is going to be a tough one without Pics of the WHOLE Car, Interior and more info.
There were no 1962 Studebaker Avantis, only '63 and '64's.
Most round headlight bezel models were '63's.
It has the "Supercharged" Emblem on the front fender possibly making it an R2 Engined Car, so then you would need to show Pics of or info on how much of the Supercharger equipment and Blower itself are there or operational.
What Transmission, stick ( Manual 4 Speed) or Automatic Floor Shift.
Condition and Color of seats, door panels, dash etc.
The Serial Number from the right (passenger side) frame rail, just forward of the firewall, it will need cleaning to read, and the "I"'s are 1's.
It has aftermarket Wheels and rear Custom (Modified) Fender Flares.Last edited by StudeRich; 12-07-2011, 01:23 PM.StudeRich

along with what "studerich" stated, it also would help to see pics of the frame and "hog-troughs" underneath.
ass-u-ming it's a dry nevada car with minimal rust, that would make it worth much more than a "rust-belt" avanti.

When you took that Engine Compartment shot, you could have read the Serial Number Plate and told us the Numbers, a Pic of that is not critical.StudeRich

Thats good for the BODY number, but you got it from the inner Fender, not the Frame, so it is not the Serial Number that will be used as a VIN #.StudeRich

Thanks, that clearly identifies it and it's line sequence, approximate build date, and to some degree it's configuration since ongoing changes were made to the Cars, not necessarily year model changes.
This Car will need a very lot of expensive and hard to find interior pieces that look beyond saving, a full restoration, Paint, an Engine and I guess a Trans. so I don't see it going over $3000.00 probably less.Last edited by StudeRich; 12-07-2011, 03:05 PM.StudeRich

went to Mr. Johnstone's avanti registry. http://www.studebaker-info.org/avantix4.html
nothing on your car there. but the info may help you as the time your avanti was built was the "transition" time between 63 & 64...
here's another site to check out: http://www.aoai.org/forums/
as far as what your avanti is worth, i think "sweetolbob"s post is right on. would help to clean it up and throw it on ebay with a low starting price and a reserve you can live with, if that's your plan...Kerry. SDC Member #A012596W. ENCSDC member.
