Here's one of the most beautiful and unique American cars around. This 1964 Studebaker Avanti is part of a small batch of extremely stylish coupes that cannot help but grab everyone's attention. And this is an ultra-desirable R2 supercharged model that is long-term owned and coming fresh from the restoration. Oh yes, this is a rare opportunity at something special.
The Avanti was the boldest Studebaker to hit the streets. The futuristic style was penned by the legendary Raymond Loewy. It was one of his hallmark designs, and made out of fiberglass, which was still revolutionary for its time. That means it was also one of Studebaker's costliest cars. They didn't stay in production long, and so there is always extra value in having a genuine Studebaker Avanti. This example has spent nearly a half-century under the same owner, and it has also just completed a multi-year restoration. The work was done with an eye to make this an impressive driver but not lose the original spirit of decades under the same owner. So the unique shade of Avanti Gold has a nice gloss from a recent respray. But there's a classic kind of style in the way the trim is clean and complete but with the right touches of age. And the body has the same look as early Corvette fiberglass where the lines are attractive but a perfect restoration is considered over-restored. And that kind of personality is appreciated on this car. It has all the nice details like the complete badging, supercharged tag on the front fenders, stock wheel covers, and desirable round headlight bezels that signal this is a rarer early version of the already rare 1964 model.
Just like the exterior, the interior is unique and attractive. The upholstery was updated during the restoration to give you supple leather that's quite inviting. And you'll love showing off all the vintage details that make this Avanti unique and premium. The tuck and roll appearance of the dash, aircraft-inspired toggle switches, working dome light, dual-spoke sports steering wheel, wraparound gauge panel, and overhead console are all part of a very vintage and cool presentation. There are well-integrated upgrades, too, like the retro-style AM/FM stereo and well-matched AutoMeter tach (the stock unit also comes with the sale.)
Within the crisp engine bay lies a very special motor. The 289 cubic-inch V8 was what was available to all premium Avanti coupes. But this one was fully rebuilt and got extra attention during the restoration for two very good reasons. First, the long-term owner believes this is the original motor. Second, they wanted to make sure you can proudly show off the Paxton supercharger that makes this rare and powerful. And you have proper control over this with the numbers-matching 4-speed manual transmission. This special V8 loves to sing its throaty tune through the glasspack-style dual exhaust. Take some time to look at it in the undercarriage photos. There you'll see clean components from a good restoration, and you'll also spot handy features like the rear sway bar. Add in power steering, power brakes, and front discs, and this signification classic is also a terrific cruiser.
The sale comes complete with build receipts and maintenance records. This is the rare supercharged Avanti that's ready for a discerning owner. Is that you?

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES:
A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY:
Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT
. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase. CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent.
