Hello: I'm new here but have desired an original Avanti for years. I have come across a 64 R-1 with original turquoise paint and matching interior in very nice, but not show condition. Chrome & glass are nice. It's an automatic, power window, factory air car. Also has the woodgrain wheel on a non tilt column. Everything works except the a/c doesn't blow cold and may need a charge of freon. Has the original Studebaker quality seal in the right lower corner of the windshield and the Studebaker Air Conditioned decal in the back window. Original South Carolina car. Owner states hog troughs are solid, but I'll check that myself. Dash is good, aftermarket radio but dash not chopped up. All manuals present. Problems are the a/c,rear brakes make noise and it skipped the last time it was started. Owner states it ran fine last time it was driven 8 months ago, flooded it when last started and doesn't think all the gas burned off. He wants 17,500. I want to be fair to him and myself. Serial # R03911. What is the advice and where does this one fall within the production run, early or late
What should I offer for a 64 R-1?
in 1963-64 Avanti
