After having the pleasure of seeing the R3 '63 Avanti which was prepared by the Granatellis for the 1963 Hot Rod Magazine road test, it got me to thinking of the other truly rare and historic performance Studebakers from the 'Avanti Era'.
Here's the list I came up with.....Can anyone think of any others?
The nine 'factory' '64 R3 Avantis
The Car Life Magazine 'factory' R4 Daytona Hardtop
The 'factory' '64 R3 Commander 2dr Sedan
The 'Paxton Prepared' Hot Rod Magazine '63 R3 Avanti (63R-1025)
The 'Paxton Prepared' '64 R3 Daytona Hardtop
The 'Due Cento' R5 Bonneville '63 Avanti
The #9 R3 Bonneville Avanti'
The #8 R3 'Bonneville Avanti'
And any other surviving team cars from Studebaker's 1963 Bonneville efforts.
( Not ignoring great cars like the PBW here....but I'm speaking of cars prepped by Studebaker or a Studebaker subsidiary)
