fastguy Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Hello All, I am in Michigan and I'm in search of a R2, would like a 4speed if possible, don't want a junk pile, or a trailer queen. I have a few leads, one needs a engine etc. What is the range that cars have gone for recently? Any places I should look other than here , SDC, Fleabay? Any help? Thanks, Mark Meyer

Thanks, Mark Meyer I have a 63 r-2 Turquoise Avanti Automatic that my father ordered new. It is not a Trailer Queen and far from a pile of junk! It has 44,000 miles on it and has always been garaged kept. I am in Illinois about a 135 miles south of Chicago. I have all paper work for it and can document its one owner status. I have photos of car and documents. If you are interested I will talk with you.

r26349 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 Do you live on old Route 66? Yes I do live on old route 66 in Illinois
Ernie Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) Yes I do live on old route 66 in Illinois (I have the maroon 1989 that has stopped by your place.) If anyone is interested in an extremely FINE Studebaker Avanti R2 - then this one is for you. This is a driver that can win First Place in any Studebaker/Avanti judging. I have seen this vehicle and it is complete stock (except for one improvement). This turquoise is truly a "one-of-a-kind" that is owned by a "car family." Edited October 30, 2007 by Ernie

It was great to see a couple of fellow Avanti Lovers. I hope to see you two again next year! By the way we can still see the tire marks you left on the road(LOL) ! Bill

tsterkel Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 Some advice, People have strange notions on how much their Avantis are worth. http://sterkel.org/avanti and click on prices to find what the last 3 years of sales look like. Current up to last August. As for where to find, keep a watch on e-Bay, I have had no more (or less) problems dealing on e-Bay than your normal private sale. Plus e-Bay provides that nice warranty, which is about as strong as the used car dealer with the trailer for an office. In other words, watch yourself, pay for an inspection, just like any purchase!
