mfg Posted October 12, 2019 Report Posted October 12, 2019 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?
studegary Posted October 12, 2019 Report Posted October 12, 2019 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?
