1981 Rare and unique luxury sports coupe For Sale

The Avanti is an American performance sports coupe based on the original design by the car maker Studebaker.
Introduced in 1962 by Studebaker, the Avanti was billed as “America’s only four passenger high-performance personal car.” With a selection of V8 engines and a luxurious interior, the distinctive Avanti combined safety and high-speed performance. A year later, Studebaker closed the lines and the model was sold to the new Avanti Motor Company and the car was rechristened the Avanti II.
This fine example here is one of the first to be fitted with General motors engine and automatic gearbox which was made famous in the Z28 Chevrolet Camaro. Therefore, giving considerable performance in speed and handling. It also makes maintenance simple and parts easily obtainable.
The outstanding design and its unique shape remained virtually unchanged throughout its 25-year production. Many suggest it is an amalgam of Italian exotic Carrozzeria body work, U. S space age design and Muscle car styling. The Avanti has also fitted chrome wire wheels and chrome boot rack. The interior overhead switch system is another “in flight” aero design, which in its day was something very special.
This car comes with original owner’s guide, service centres guide, maintenance schedule and Avanti II sales folder. As can be seen by our video and photographs the car is outstanding in every department. Undoubtedly a show winning vehicle in every respect. If you wish to be individual in your classic car ownership and enjoy a sports cruiser to the full, then this may be the car for you.
