Avanti GTO!

[mfg]

As far as modified Studebaker Avantis go, one of the nicest examples I’ve seen was a car modified by a high school auto body/ mechanics class from Rhode Island….

This round lite Stude Avanti had no body mods excepting for a small hood scoop, similar to the one the Granatellis installed on the Due Cento…This Avanti also had a real nice (non stock color) lacquer paint job.

Under the hood the students had installed a 389 cubic inch 1965 Pontiac GTO engine, featuring the optional tri carb setup… and a four speed transmission…..

All the worked look flawless… it looked like a ‘factory’ installation!

Would anyone in the New York/New England area remember this very interesting modified Avanti?   It was light green metallic in color)
