1964 Avanti

[alkamara]

After 46 years I have rekindled my interest in the 1964 Studebaker Avanti. I am currently looking at several with a strong interest in purchasing one of them..Is there anything special to the Avanti that I should be looking for that is particular to an Avanti of that vintage?

[jlmccuan]

Special in terms of what to look for as to condition, or special in terms of originality? Do you want a driver or a show car? Give us a little info on how you want to use the car and what you like and I'm sure you will get lot's of help.

I know of a 63 R2 power shift in Mishawaka In. that has a lot of work done to it. Jim

Likewise, does it HAVE to be a 64, or is a 63 okay?

[JDP]

If it is, I'll jump in with a 63 R2

Go for the nicest condition low-mileage '64 R2 4-speed that you can find. Even the nicest Avanti's aren't bringing big bucks these days in this crappy economy. And, you'll save a ton of $$$ on repairs and buying expensive parts. Unless you are slightly built, also look for the rare "tilt" steering wheel option. Good luck!

Thanks, your coments are helpful. I am looking for a "driver" not a trailer queen.
Thanks.

I am looking for a driver, not a trailer queen. I am on the east coast but everything that I see for sale is out west. Please send any info on available cars. Is anyone going to be at the Daytona Turkey Run over Thanksgiving? I understand that there is a good rpresantation of Studebakers at the show. I am going to be there to sell my current vehicle and looking for a 1964 Avanti (preferred) on maybe a 1973.
Thanks,
Ray

At this the risk of starting a war .... When you say you are looking for a 64 Avanti, do you prefer round headlight or square headlight buckets ???? Early 64 production still used round until the styling switch was made ...

My Avanti is a 63 so I'm a round eye kind of guy myself

What is the vehicle that you want to sell? Some of us have a primary interest in Studebakers, but also have a strong interest in other makes.

You mention 1973. That is a very low point for most any US car due to emissions and bumpers.

If you're into Avanti II's, I have a friend with a pretty nice '82 model that he wants to sell.

I see you're in Savannah. The South GA Chapter had its bimonthly meeting in Savannah 1 week ago. A link to our website is under my name.
