MOPED ARMY

the 1989 avanti was not built by studebaker, as the URL suggests. the last studebaker-built avanti was in 1963. by 1989, the production had been moved to youngstown, OH, where less than 500 were made.

if i myself wanted a car with a 305 and a TH350, i'd scour craigslist and get one of any number of decent '80's GM cars for sub-$2k, and leave this car for some other sucker.

the studebaker and post-studebaker avantis may be rare, but rare does not equate to being good.

i find this to be a bit of an odd-looking car. it is kinda cool, but it's not $8.5k cool, IMHO

also IMHO, as opposed to spending my hard-earned jack on this car, i'd get something truly awesome, like this (though this one has already been sold to a very lucky new owner). (edited)

One of these things is not like the others,

One of these things just doesn't belong,

Can you tell which thing is not like the others

By the time I finish my song

$11k...no, thanks.

there's good reason for this.

you can ask whatever you want for a vehicle. whether you get it or not is another thing.

hagerty values these at less than $30k in concours condition. seems like these sellers are a bit high.

that, and it's a question of supply and demand. if no one wants to pay over $11k for the one from BAT, these sellers may not have much luck getting what they want for theirs, considering they're asking more than they're worth. (edited)
