Dwight FitzSimons Posted January 5 Report Posted January 5 Apparently, the auction on this very deserving wrecked '63 Avanti closes at 9 pm on Monday, Jan. 5. https://www.copart.com/lot/84553735/clean-title-1963-studebaker-avanti-ny-newburgh
Dwight FitzSimons Posted January 6 Author Report Posted January 6 Apparently, If Copart doesn't get what they want they send the auction into overtime (looks like 2 extra days). I hope they don't want too much or this Avanti won't get restored. --Dwight
Dwight FitzSimons Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Posted 1 hour ago It is listed as sold, so, hopefully, someone will restore it. One of the fun (Studebaker) episodes in my life was seeing a wrecked '64 Avanti rebuilt properly. In the late 1960s I happened to see a freshly wrecked '64 Avanti indoors at a local wrecking yard. It was Avanti Gold with Claret interior, R2 & 4-spd, and it was torn up worse than the one above. A year or so later I came upon that very same car parked on the street. I looked it over and it looked good to me. This was in the Charlottesville-Harrisonburg, Virginia area. Has anyone seen it? The Claret interior was fairly rare, so someone might remember it for that reason. --Dwight
