Every line, curve and angle is just right – the wheel openings have a rearward accent, giving the impression of speed!

The Avanti Gold paint is a high quality paint job, 2 stage color sanded and buffed, and matched exactly to the original color.

The Round Headlight cars are my favorites. Note the new parking light / turn signal lenses, as well as the presence of the air grille – the very earliest cars didn’t have a grill, but most of the later ones did.

The Kingpins are excellent and did not require replacement. This car drives tight and straight! It does have a rear main seal leak, like many Studebaker V8’s.

Hog trough body supports look good and solid

Left side hog trough solid too. The doors fit and shut properly too.

There were some places at the lower surface of the frame that had rust, on the very thin 3/16 spot welded part. So, these areas were cut out and properly welded back in. The rest of the frame is great!

Here’s the repair on the left side.

THERE IS NO COOLING OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION. California law does not provide for a “cooling off” period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts.

After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. However, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.
