1964 Studebaker Avanti R2

It is finished in maroon over red vinyl and is powered by a Paxton-supercharged 289ci V8 linked with a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a dual exhaust system, power-assisted front disc brakes, power steering, spoke-style wheel covers, a push-button AM radio, woodgrain interior trim, and a Beauty Vanity. Exterior details include an asymmetrical hood bulge, polished trim, dual side mirrors, dual exhaust outlets, and wraparound chrome bumpers with rubber guards. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. Service to the braking system in late 2023 involved replacing the hard lines, a rear hose, and the vacuum booster as well as honing the right-front caliperâ??s piston. The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in red vinyl along with a color-coordinated center console and door panels. Aircraft-throttle-inspired climate controls on the center console are complemented by overhead switchgear for lighting and fan control. A Beauty Vanity makeup mirror is located in the glovebox. Additional amenities include woodgrain trim, a Studebaker All Transistor push-button AM radio, a rear speaker, a heater, black carpeting, and dome lights. The two-spoke steering wheel frames a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline accompanied by a 160-mph speedometer, a clock, and readouts for coolant temperature, amperage, fuel level, oil pressure, and intake-manifold pressure.
