Good Avanti Deal!

[mfg]

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?

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?
