this is getting interesting, being the owner of a 63 Avanti, I dont plan on making it stock, however stock would be quite powerful. We plan on putting a bigger engine and upgrading the brakes. The engine would still be a Studebaker but it all depends on money as does everything else. I dont have a problem with restoring it to stock. If I have to because of lack of bigger engine or money then I will. No real plans have been made for it as we have to young kids and money is tight.
