Dennis is one of the most genuine, generous, enthusiastic car guys you’ll ever meet. One day he’s making a deal on a seven figure car, the next day him and his guys are traipsing through a field or a falling down barn to rescue a car. The best thing about him, though, is if you watch his videos, you see how he treats people. It’s not an act, he’s really like that. Him and I both have the same concept for rescuing cars, I just do it at a much less successful level lol.

if you ever get to meet him, you will see that he is the real deal, truly has a love for cars of all kinds and conditions.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Dennis a couple of times. Real straight good car guy.

I wonder if the Avanti sold? It went "wholesale" on April 15,2022

You SURE you Guys got the right Dennis?
Dennis Gage maybe, this Guy might be Great Guy, but his CAR knowledge is somewhat lacking not just Studebaker in what he "thinks he knows"; "Andy made a one way run with a Stock (perceived R2, as this one) at 200 MPH"?

Any Car Guy would have noticed that Poor Repaint in some kind of Metallic Brown WAY too Dark, look at the Gold Engine Compartment.

"Those Avanti Grilles are always MISSING"!

"Heater Controls designed by an Aircraft Engineer"!

"The Hill Holder was an Emergency Brake"

"The biggest sellers were the GOLD Cars".

74,000 Miles is not Low for a Performance Engine, and built 10/10/62 a "Auto Show" introductory Car it is NOT.

At least he likes Studebakers even if he got a lot of the information wrong. I think I saw as many turquoise cars as gold ones but I have no information on how many of each of those colors there were. I know of one Avanti with no power steering, a 3 speed manual, fast steering ratio and it is an R2. The only 3 speed manual I ever saw.
