Nelson Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 (edited) It will be interesting to see what this one fetches. Really a neat car and man does it look good with the correct optional 63 style Halibrands. Edited August 16 by Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing it on the for sale board at the South Bend Int. meet that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 You’d think one of Ward’s sons would have held onto that car…. but sometimes life gets in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 Looks like it sold for $51k, I have to question the ownership of a unknown person (at least by me) having much effect on the price. It really didn't go for a skyrocketed price due to that. What I'm seeing in a Exceptional Condition,. these cars bring about $40-50k.. They have been rising substantually in value over the last year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks that followed Indy racing in the 50’s and 60’s would be very familiar with Roger Ward… right up there with Foyt, Jones, Unser, or any of the other Indy 500 winners….. Also, Studebaker made a big deal out of rewarding Ward a new Avanti after his ‘62 win… which is quite a story in itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 MFG. I do now some things about Him. It might have been a iconic moment, but I have my reservations in the thought it added to the value,,,( except for a very few). The $51k price reflects that.

Not a big deal but Studebaker installed a plaque on dash with Ward’s name and brief explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 That's Cool... Now, a Alice Cooper Avanti might bring something, Say if He signed the dash in 'marks-a-lot' and a certif of authenticity. He's apparently on His 2nd Avanti. ......One was resto-mod'ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
