In October 1962 the MSRP was $4445, so I am going to say that the price stayed the same for 1964 - 3) $4445.

Sorry, answer #3 is not correct!

I do not have 1964 prices handy, so I will say #4) $4575, assuming that there was a small price increase from 1963.

Nope, #4 is not correct!.....Remember, at that time there were also quite a number of new, unsold 1963 Avantis  suddenly referred to as new, unsold 1964 Avantis!

Would the list price actually go UP for an unsold 1963 vehicle now being called a 1964 vehicle?

Your answer (#1  $4,090.) Is CORRECT!..................(The 'delivered price', of course, has nothing to do with this question!)

The list price for a 1963 Corvette was $4037. Today 'vettes start at $58,900. So a 2020 Avanti would probably list for just under $60k.     ...if only!!
