That's a 'kit' Avanti..... An original has square headlights.
MY BAD....... There was a kit Avanti in later years..... But I corrected the headlight issue in a post, below.

The original Studebaker models from the 60s couldn't have square headlights. Those weren't available yet.

It was a round light, with a square bezel in '63 ( sold as a '64 ).... Square bezels were from a Studebaker truck in earlier years. Due to a parts supply, the Avanti went to round bezels in 'later '63 & then in '64.

( Round was a 'sporty' look, where, square was a 'luxury' look. )

Avanti was 1st with front disk brake option. It had a roll bar. An option supercharger or A/C ... one or the other..... the options filled the same area under the hood.
The Avanti had a top speed of around 140 + mph !!
This car had a MASSIVE steel undercarriage / framework to handle the performance, since the body is fiberglass.

Add a few splashes of peach to the Range Rover, and you could get a Miami Vice vibe going.

Have fun at the markets!!

Clean. Body panels and trim pieces all appeared straight. Dual exhaust. Windows too dark to see in. Only a brake light out. Noice!!
