This Avanti is one of the last 20 ever built by Avanti Motors and was purchased from its original owner by the current owner, so it's well documented. The original Avanti was penned by Raymond Loewy in 1961 for Studebaker, but only saw a short production run beginning in 1962 with Studebaker before they closed. In 1962, the Avanti was quite unlike the rest of the cars on American roads, low, sleek, and very sporty looking. It wasn't loaded down with superfluous fins or decorated with as much unnecessary chrome as the rest of the industry's products were stuck with; but was both subtle and striking at the same time. Unfortunately, Studebaker closed its South Bend, IN plant in December 1963, so production of the fiberglass bodied Avanti was halted, until the Avanti name (and all related tooling and facilities) were purchased by Nate Altman and Leo Newman. Altman and Newman brought it back successfully and sold quite a few units before selling the business to Stephen Blake in 1982. This 2007 Avanti is the result of the last generation of Avanti ownership and production under Michael Kelly, who purchased Avanti Motors. One of only 20 built before production permanently ended,...

Knowing that it would need a more potent offering than the current 289 CID engines to match the finest grand tourers from America and Europe, but also lacked the funds to develop new engines, so Studebaker chose to offer an optional supercharged version of the 289 CID V8, as it had on the earlier Golden Hawks. With a lower 9. 0:1 compression and a belt-driven Paxton SN-60 centrifugal supercharger making 4. 5 pounds of boost, it brought the engine up to 290hp at 4,800 RPM, also bumping torque to an estimated 303-lbs. ft. at 5,000 RPM. If you decide to buy a supercharged Avanti, don't expect it to be equipped with factory-installed air conditioning, because no Paxton-powered models were built with A/C. The Avanti's have been considered screaming deals in the collector-car hobby for decades, but their relative affordability is sure to diminish...

In 2002, Avanti Motors acquired copyrights to Avanti and began building a very limited supply. This 2004 Avanti Convertible is one of 53 Avanti's that were produced from 2001 through 2004. They were produced in Villa Rica, Georgia on a Pontiac Trans Am chassis as either a Coupe Convertible or T Top & this example is titled in TX as a 2002 Pontiac. They were available with a normally aspirated or supercharged engine. This example is fitted with a 5. 7-liter V8 fuel injected LS1 engine mated up to an automatic transmission. The cabin features power-adjustable front bucket seats upholstered in taupe leather with Avanti embroidery that extends to the door panel inserts. Black carpets are protected by Avanti-branded floor mats, and woodgrain trim adorns the dash, center console, and doors. The car is...
