'62 or '63 Studebaker Avanti estimate?

[Corvanti]

I'm with you. Think we can get there and back in a weekend?

getting there wouldn't be a problem: southwest air non stop from rdu to mc carran airport... getting back would be the prob, maybe if we could tow it with the challenger from the movie: "vanishing point"!

Boy if you are not in the right click, nobody looks at someone else's post.
no offense Coranti.
I guess I have to spell it out for them. ITS $700 dollars, and in Vegas.
This projects a steal, wasted this in parts sometimes.
I could use a frame, and lots of other goodies to part out on Ebay.
The transmission is there look at the pics, Windows, glass.Lots of neat Hardware pieces,
gauges, console, front and back seat cores, headlight buckets,Front and rear hood and
trunk lid, front bumper outside pcs, rear bumper., I'll bet the rear sway bar stuff is still
there along with positrac rear end.Front or rear end clips.Some here was looking for a
Studebaker Avanti console. Has anyone decided to roll the dice, look at that radio,could be a
AM'FM or maybe not.
But don't want to drag a trailer over the continetal divide during the winter,and back again.
not to mention the 1200 miles or so.

Good Price for it.

What era is a 'manhandler' tire from? Can't say I've ever heard of that one.
If a road-handler handles roads, I'm not sure I'd want a set of manhandlers.

apparently not made since 1995 by lee tire & rubber: http://www.trademarkia.com/manhandler-72466328.html

wonder if you got a couple cans of sloppy joe sauce with each purchase...
"how do you handle a hungry man? the manhandler..."

'Probably a regional manufacturer, Dan. Something just not sold east of a certain area no matter its age. BP

Also give it a good washing and vaccuuming before taking any photos of it. It might sound like a waste of time, but it really isn't. Believe it or not, it will sell faster that way, and will potentially bring in more $$$.

My guesstimate is $1500-$2000. Put it on eBay with good pictures, including the underside, and see what it brings (low starting price and a reserve that you can live with).

Maybe a cool resto-mod? Modern drivetrain, custom interior...it might be fun.

The body looks good enough, but with perfect Avantis only bringing $30K, probably not worth restoring as stock.

[jlmccuan]

This would make a great candidate for a race car build as restoration cost could well exceed restored value. Lot's of drag or land speed guys might take a look.

Although this is blasphemy, the fact is it is probably worth more sold in pieces than whole. Of course, it's a lot of work disassembling and selling the pieces.

I'm going to guess it would legitimatlely sell on eBay for $1500-2000. Of course, it depends on location in relation to those interested. And, this is the worst time of year to sell.

Good luck with it. I hope she finds a loving home.

What's up with the 8000 RPM tach? Replacement?

Sure it is, you can see it does not match and has SW on the face, it was not made for Studebaker.
