1963 STUDEBAKER AVANTI. HAVE RECENTLY GONE THROUGH THE MECHANIC'S OF THE CAR AND REPLACED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: CLEANED AND RESEALED GAS TANK . NEW EDELBROCK CARBURETOR. NEW BRAKE BOOSTER. NEW BRAKE LINES. NEW FUEL LINES. NEW PLUGS. NEW CAP AND ROTOR. THE CAR NOW RUNS GREAT. IT RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 289CI STUDEBAKER V8 ENGINE. IT ALSO RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR WAS RESTORED 6 YEARS AGO AND THEN PUT AWAY. THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AND DRIVES VERY WELL FOR ITS AGE. THERE ARE NO LEAKS. IT ALSO DOES NOT BLOW ANY SMOKE. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME AND ITS STILL EXCELLENT. AS YOU CAN SEE ITS ALL STAINLESS. AS YOU CAN SEE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS EXCELLENT. ALL THE CHROME IS THERE AND I JUST HAD THE AIR CLEANER COVER RECHROMED. THE BODY DOES NOT HAVE ANY STRESS CRACKS AS THEY USUALLY DO. 6 YEARS AGO THE BODY AND PAINT WERE REDONE AND WHILE THE BODY HAS HELD UP EXCELLENT THE PAINT HAS FADED. YOU CAN SEE SOME SPOTS WHERE THE PRIMER IS SHOWING THRU. ALL THE CHROME LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN DONE AT THAT TIME AS IT SHOWS EXCELLENT.
