God, I would just love that car. I'm 57, and ever since I was an early teen, these Avantis have just tripped my trigger. None of my buds now or then really felt the same way about them. Isn't that weird....or maybe I am. There used to be a guy in the late 60's who ran an Avanti every weekend at the old Tucson dragway. He had a few minor mods, not sure if it was supercharged or not. ?Seems like he ran low 14's or high 13's @ 97-100 mph. If I may, how much did this sell for? Thanks. Joel in Tucson
This is a nice looking auto. Studebaker was way ahead of its time and had some futuristic cars like the Avanti and Hawk(silver & golden). Thanks for sharing this video.

I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old vintage Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Mercedes vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carb clean as new!
Very ahead of its time... Studebaker always seems to design funky cars (and their aftermath, AMC)....LOL.. "And it can be YOURS!" Good luck on the sale!
@musicom67 Studebaker had absolutely no relation to American Motors (AMC). AMC was formed from the merger of Nash, Rambler, Hudson, and later Jeep. Studebaker was a separate company and merged with Packard in the 1950's before ceasing production of automobiles in March of 1966. Regardless AMC did have some funky styling in the 70's.
