| Aug 14, 2013 | 1963 | 63R-1098 | Neil Wildeboor | Originally a zone office demo (Devon, PA) then sold to Avenue Motors, Rockville, Maryland. They sold it to a customer, who didn't keep up the maintenance. Then it was sold back to the dealer and sat in the dealer's shop with tired engine and automatic trans. I bought it from the dealer in 1968 for $2200! Pulled the R2 engine and trans, then did a restoration with new OEM parts, including new front upholstery (turquoise) and carpeting, and complete exhaust system. I opted to install a 4-speed transmission, and a newly available Hurst shifter. I also worked out a system to install A/C, using a Frigidaire A6 compressor, by reemitting the surge tank, and reworking the motor mounts for very small clearance. Used a Sears evaporator, and stock panel with louvers. Worked, but went to a larger flex fan for added cooling. In 1977 I sold it to John Paterson of Sandusky, Michigan, a collector whom I believe still owns it. Specs for the car are as follows: R2 engine, T-10 transmission, 3:31 TT axle, power steering, power windows, stock radio and rear speaker with a hidden FM receiver having automatic switch over of my own design. Paint and interior is Avanti Turquoise, with the usual fawn headliner and trim. | 2013 Registration | |||||

I moved from NJ to Virginia Beach in 92, but always visited my Uncle's Avanti while begging Vito to sell it back to me to no avail. After leaving Englishtown raceway park while I was in NJ in 2009, I was detoured past Vito's house where I saw a for sale sign in the window. After speaking with his daughter, she advised me of his passing, and that she couldn't find my number. The rest is history. She's in the process of re-assembly after a frame off resto that started last Nov. She's approx 75-85% finished.

| Aug 23, 2010 | 1963 | 63R-2564 | Gilbert Zimmerman | Car built as a "Rush Sold" order. It's an original R2, exterior Avanti White with Regal Orange interior. Original invoice lists supercharger, automatic, tinted glass with sun band, power steering, HD springs front and rear, electric windows, Twin Traction, Firestone 500 WW tires, electric washer, radio, rear speaker, front and rear belts, silent mufflers. It was shipped to Gorman Auto Sales in Oak Park, IL. Based on old dash plaque, original owner appears to have been "Harry E. Ruther, Inc.". Until my purchase a few weeks ago, car was owned and well maintained for 45 years by Andy Popadiuk. It has usual retrofits such as rain gutters and bright metal grille. Less usual retrofits followed front end damage in the mid-70's. Car was sent to Avanti Motors in South Bend for repairs. The replacement nose cap included square light bezels because of parts supply issues. There is a late style battery tray, there are holes in the front fenders communicating with wheel well to aid engine compartment cooling, something I understand was phased in post-1970. The car is otherwise original, drives very well, has very low miles since engine rebuild and body off chassis detailing in the 80's. Even power windows work. Previously this serial # was misidentified on another registry list as belonging to a different car, an R1 in Los Angeles area. We love this thing! | |

Stremel had purchased it back, or took it in trade, from original owner. The car is all original with 33,000 miles on the clock. When we took it to Studebaker conventions there were always discussions with the judges about the paint. Can't remember the specifics but it was re-painted by the dealer soon after purchase. I think there were some factory paint problems but it was considered a factory authorized re-paint. It never hurt us in the judging and we won a First Place with it at the Dallas convention in the 70s and a Third Place with it in 2000 in Austin. | 2014 Registration | |||||

| 2005 | 1963 | 63R-2990 | David N. Littlefield | Originally my father's car purchased about 1967 from the original owner, Helen Tyson, who bought it new in the West Palm Beach area. An R1, automatic, with a/c, white exterior, turquoise/fawn interior. Shipped to Florida to begin a frame off restoration. Body was too far gone to salvage but the frame and engine were fine. I found a pristine body on eBay with a totally rusted out frame, no engine or tranny, and purchased it from Suzanne Stolle of Appleton, Wisconsin in August 2003. That Avanti was R1331, and I towed it to Florida to use that body on my frame. Restoration on R2990 is progressing nicely and may be finished by end of 2006. The Avanti turned a lot of heads when I was a kid riding in her with Dad. It is a tribute to my father and a labor of love to bring her back to life and travel the road again in it and turn some more heads! | 2005 Registration | |||||
