I am  a Facebook person (due to Business,,, I hate it) but it only shows the aoai info and no info on the car itself.

I am not aware that any convertible Avantis were built in 1970.  I assume someone has cut the top off?

The Avanti factory. That's why it's called a prototype.

But the car is a 1985, not 1970 model.  I don't think the Avanti factory worked on that prototype for 15 years before releasing it.

The serial number is RQB-1582 which is a 1970. It was also converted from a chrome bumper to the later style bumpers.

The factory didn't do the convertible conversion..................read part of this Turning Wheels article that I've posted below. The full article is here on Bob Johnstone's site: http://studebaker-info.org/AOAI/AOAI92/1985ConvProto.html

This car for sale is the Doyne prototype:
