THE AVANTI 2 IS REALLY THE RAREST OF THE RARE!! AFTER STUDEBAKER CLOSED, LEO NEWMAN AND NATE ALTMAN (LONG TIME STUDEBAKER DEALERS IN INDIANA) REALIZED THEY COULD STILL PRODUCE THE AVANTI BODY STYLE, BUT BUILD THE CAR TO THE BUYER'S SPECIFICATIONS, AT THEIR PLANT IN SOUTH BEND. A HANDFUL OF FORMER STUDEBAKER EMPLOYEES WORKED TOGETHER ON A MINI ASSEMBLY LINE TO KEEP THE AVANTI CARS ALIVE. ALMOST INFINITE INTERIOR OPTIONS WERE AVAILABLE, AND FAR MORE COOL OPTIONS AND GADGETS THAN MOST MASS-PRODUCED CARS COULD EVER OFFER. THIS CAR WAS ORIGINALLY BLUE, NOW BLACK. PAINT IS GOOD OVER ALL, BUT NEEDS A FEW TOUCH UPS. THE INTERIOR IS SENSATIONAL, WITH BONE COLORED SEATS AND DOOR PANELS WITH BLACK PIPING. THE FUTURISTIC DASH AND CONSOLE HAS BEAUTIFUL GAUGES AND LOTS OF LIGHT SWITCHES AND CONTROLS. EVEN THE RADIO WORKS! THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT HAS AN INTERIOR SLIDING DRAWER (CIGAR, ANYONE?), AND THE OVERALL LOOK AND FEEL OF THE CAR IS SUPER SECRET AGENT COOL. AND YES, THATS SHAG CARPETING!! THE CORVETTE 327 HAD A RECENT TUNE UP AND VALVE ADJUSTMENT, AND THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING WAS TUNED, TOO. CAR HAS BRAND NEW (STICKERS STILL ON 'EM) TIRES, AND THE BRAKES WERE DONE RECENTLY. TRACKS AND STOPS NICELY. THIS CAR WAS USED IN THE HIT TV SERIES 'FALCON CREST'. THIS CAR HAS A CLEAN CALIFORNIA TITLE, AND IS FOR SALE LOCALLY, SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS LISTING AT ANY TIME. I WELCOME YOUR INSPECTION OF THIS GROOVY PIECE OF US AUTOMOTIVE, AND TELEVISION HISTORY, IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA!! THANKS FOR LOOKING
