Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 20051970 Avanti FOR SALE
FROM THE AUTO TRADER WWW.AUTORV.COM 1970 Studebaker Avanti $4500.oo Columbia City Indiana 260-610-1822 I've viewed that car in person. If anyone wants to know about it, let me know. ' >FROM THE AUTO TRADER >WWW.AUTORV.COM >1970 Studebaker Avanti $4500.oo >Columbia City Indiana >260-610-1822 Lee DeLaBarre Daytona62 More curious then anything, but what does $4500 get you in this case?? Whats it need or not need if thats a shorter list. My bet is that its another"nothing more expensive than a cheap Avanti" Russ Pretty complete and decent car. Its needs are as follows........ Paint Seat Covers Some fiberglas repair (hole punched thru deck lid, other minor cracks) Hog Troughs Frame repair (bottom plate, rear crossmember, front spring perch areas rebuilt) Total brake job (cheaper to convert to Turner's brake kit) Tires Chrome needs replated Should I go on? >More curious then anything, but what does $4500 get you in this case?? >Whats it need or not need if thats a shorter list. My bet is that its >another"nothing more expensive than a cheap Avanti" >Russ Lee DeLaBarre Daytona62 I've seen folks just drive them carefully without the frame or hog trough repair. If you have $1700 and about 60 hours of your own labor you could fix the frame, troughs and brakes and have a fairly cheap driver and pass on the other expensive bits. > Pretty complete and decent car.

Hawk 53 Starlight YeeOUCH........pretty much what I would have guessed. So these overpriced cars such as this example do they usually get purchased by the undeducated? Or do they sit long enough for some shrewd someone to come along and actually get it for more what its worth. My guess would be that usually someone who's been dreaming about a certain model finds it and they finally found one they can afford and they jump right in not really knowing what its going to cost em. Russ (just thinkin out loud) It's not over priced, hell that's rough Hawk money. They are just expensive to restore. > YeeOUCH........pretty much what I would have guessed.

Hawk 53 Starlight Actually, the guy who has it for sale owns one of the local NAPA garages. He bought it from a long-time customer and paid too much for it and now wants out of it. IF I wanted a '70 A2, this would be a not-so-bad car to have. It just needs everything. By the time you went thru it and made it nice, you would have at least as much as it is worth into it so why not buy one that is already what you want? >YeeOUCH........pretty much what I would have guessed.
