Good Avanti Deal!

Recommended Posts

Although the factory suggested list price of a 'base' 1963 Studebaker Avanti was $4445.00, Studebaker sold some Avantis (picked up at the factory) at a steep discount. (factory demos for example)....  The most discounted 1963 Avanti ( I've ever heard of) was sold by Studebaker Corp in 1962 for.......?......        (Not speaking here of various contest giveaway examples!)

1) $1.00......2) $500.00......3) $1000.00.....or.....4) $2150.00

And, for extra points, does anyone out there remember which Avanti that was?:huh:

I remember $500, but I do not remember that as being in 1962.

And $500.00 is CORRECT!:)....The sale of this Avanti happened on 7/19/62.

(Extra Points)......Any idea what rather famous Studebaker Avanti it was?

63R-1025 originally sold to Paxton Products.

The history of this interesting Avanti can be found on Bob Johnstone's website.

A copy of the invoice is included in the article by 56 Packard Man.

Yes, that's the one!:).....Thanks for posting this info Bob.   ( I never did put you back in the 'Twilight Zone'!)

Going forward, let's both hope for an improved relationship.....Ed
