I am with you, I have been ogling that one also, I like that it is one of the Latest "True Studebaker" type Avantis, being an Altman Avanti II.
I like this one very much, those Interiors were just to die for beautiful, keeping up their reputation as "Americas' ONLY Hand Built Automobile".
The only minor issue I had with it is, I wondered if the front panel has been replaced or something due to the Avanti II nameplate being so low, I thought they were at the center of the Headlight.

That is one beautiful looking car. I love the interior. On round-eye Avantis the script is centered...on square-eyed cars it's slightly below the center line. The script on this car's nose panel is definitely too low, but by the time it was built quality control had slipped so it's possible it's original. I doubt if Nate Altman would have allowed the car out like that. On this car I'd suspect body work or at least a new paint job and the script mounted too low was the likely reason.
Without physically checking the car and assuming the frame and hogs are good, the only red light to me is the moon roof...it may be working now (not really specified so), but I'd worry how long it either stopped working or whether it leaks. Any sunroof car should have its hogs carefully inspected as the drains are routed to them.Poet...Mystic...Soldier of Fortune. As always...self-absorbed, adversarial, cocky and in general a malcontent.
