Ronny Daytona Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 Hi, I have a chance to purchase a ‘62. I am wondering if anyone has a rough idea as to how many Avantis are still in existence- in any condition. Thanks!
Gunslinger Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 Roughly 8000-9000 Avantis were built. I don’t know if anyone has a firm figure of survivors but I would think there’s a good 50% still around whether running or not.

I am wondering if anyone has a rough idea as to how many Avantis are still in existence- in any condition. Thanks! There aren't any '62 Avantis. All Studebaker Avantis are either '63 or '64 models. The serial number of the first Studebaker Avanti was 63R-1001, and the numbers went up from there. The "63" in the serial number is the model year. It could be that the Avanti you are looking at is an early one sold in the Fall of 1962 and titled as a '62. --Dwight
mfg Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 The Avanti Register on the internet gives a good account of surviving Avantis of all model years… however… I would think that there are MANY more unreported ones here and there in various conditions.
AG-R3 Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 I have seemingly more data on undeclared cars than ones listed online. Currently 3376 Studebaker Avantis listed

Thanks for the years of diligence in doing that
aardvark Posted September 20 Report Posted September 20 So the numbers, are we referring to 63-64's, or all, including Avanti 2's?.
Mark63Avanti Posted September 20 Report Posted September 20 I tried adding my Avanti to the list but when I hit "send" it gives me an error message.

I was trying to update the AOAI listing. My Avanti wasn't included in their listing. It has a fill-in form that, when I hit send, says there was some sort of error.
