I've told my grand daughter that in a few years she can have the car....."As long as she keeps the paint job WELL WAXED"!....She said, "Well waxed?....I thought you said it was a FUN Avanti"?

What constitutes your term "restored" ?.......that could mean anything........curious minds want to know:-)Originally posted by SN-60 View PostBeen thinking about registering my '85 in the spring and making IT the "fun" (frequently driven summer car) Avanti.....The '63 was restored over twenty years ago now, and it's probably due for a mechanical "re-visit"!

Great SN-60. I just completed a 1776 mile trip to the Kelso Meet, then visiting friends throughout Oregon, then back home to British Columbia. Our '83 Avanti never quit delivering smiles, thumbs up and conversations when we stopped. Pics to follow if I can get my computer to cooperate. (It doesn't seem to want to connect to pics).

After not waxing this car for about four years, I finally took the time last week to apply a nice even coat of Meguiar's 'Ultimate' paste wax onto the old girl's finish!
I was amazed at the shine...I painted this Avanti around 1990, using Dupont 'Lucite' lacquer paint, which has held up really well for over 26 years!

Saw my friend Chet last weekend, he mentioned that he's reluctantly placing his '63 Avanti (see post # 29) up for sale. This is a VERY NICE Studebaker Avanti, which has been in his family since purchased new.
PM me if seriously interested, I'll put you in touch with him....and I'm really not sure of the asking price.

Boo-hoo!...tonight was the last 'Saturday night cruise-in' for this season.....but on the bright side, my good friend Wayne showed up with his 1980 Avanti ll which he purchased from a gent from Wisconsin last year.
It's a REALLY nice Avanti with 46K (original), red leather interior & red carpet, real wire wheels & factory exterior luggage rack....The only thing Wayne's done to it is remove that ugly front 'cow catcher' bumper assy!
Here's my good old '63 & Wayne's '80...........

My friend Wayne (owner of the '80 Avanti ll above) did something quite unusual yesterday, (9/24/16),....He RE-PURCHASED a Studebaker which he owned and sold THIRTY YEARS AGO!!!!!!
This week Wayne is bringing home a rare 1963 Lark Daytona 'SKYTOP' model...289, p/s automatic....The Lark is still in great shape, needing only a bit of interior work....WAY TO GO WAYNE!!!
Wayne purchased the Skytop from Legendary motors of Beverly, Massachusetts.
