cobrajoe74 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hey all...new to AOAI membership...I'm looking to purchase the nicest 82 or 83 II that I can find...(Thanks to all of you on the Avanti-Yahoo website for your suggestions & words of encouragement & sorry if I bore you with redundant info that I've already posted on that site)...prefer all options-roof/driving lights, etc. (though I'd rather have Magnums vs. wires & no trunk rack) & in opposition to Henry Ford's Model T, any color other than black!! I'm in no rush & if I can't find anything by Sept 08 I plan on attending the Studebaker national meet in Lancaster, PA in hopes of finding something there...still keeping my eyes on Ebay for anything interesting...I'm located in South Florida (Stuart) so anything close is great (I can see the car in the metal, as it were), but I'll travel for the right car...my Email is mogambo66@comcast.net...any info is appreciated...Thanks in advance...Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmenacker Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 We have been toying with the idea of letting RQB 3496 go to a new home. Bezels are good original or newly replaced. Rear bumpers are very nice. Front bumpers are fine from 10 ft but would be nicer if rechromed. Fine, reliable driver. Lancaster is right up the road from us. If it is still available in the fall, we will probably take her up for a visit. Joe Menacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernier Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Joe! Why?? Ernie R2 R5388 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmenacker Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Ernie: 'Twas a moment of temporary insanity exasperated a depressed economy. After pulling the Avanti out of the garage a driving it again for a couple of days we couldn't wipe the smiles off our faces. RQB 3496 will be staying with us for some time now. Thanks for your concern. We feel all better now. Joe and Judy Menacker Edited June 1, 2008 by jmenacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrajoe74 Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 And I was already winding that 350 out in 2nd gear with the new AC blasting and the aroma of fine leather in my nostrils!!! I guess I'll have to settle on a 305 with hot feet, cracked leather & water dripping from the moonroof!!! thanks for the almost sale, though...Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 And here I was going to offer you $38,000 for your Avanti. Oh well, guess I'll keep the money in a CD!! (I also have ocean property in Arizona for sale!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
