Vehicle Description 1964 Studebaker Avanti R1 Rare Antique and Collectible in really good (to excellent) condition. The current owner purchased this car about ten years ago from a local “collector series” dealership. The previous owner had personal problems and was forced to liquidate some of his assets. The current owner has only put around 12,000 miles on the car over the last ten years. The mileage is 64,300, and we believe this to be original miles. The interior is in good to excellent condition. It has the original Studebaker “all transistor” AM Radio (see pictures). It is believed that this is one of 800 cars manufactured in this series. The original VIN Number is R5266 (marked on car in engine compartment and on Registration. The car was professionally painted (white) before the current owner purchased the car. The engine is original (289) and appears to be in excellent condition (never restored). The car is located in South Eastern Massachusetts, and is registered, inspected, and insured.
