We don’t blame you if Avanti doesn’t ring any bells. This lesser-known automaker was formed on the bedrock of a better-known name, Studebaker. Known as the Studebaker Avanti, it was the brand’s take on the personal luxury car of the sixties. However, Studebaker would fall by the wayside a few years later. Subsequently, the Avanti nameplate would change hands between multiple private companies, and was marketed, all the way up to 2006. That’s why this particular car is a 1989 Avanti II Convertible, despite bearing sixties styling cues. The car has 39,700 miles on the clock. So, if you want something that’s a legit American classic but will turn heads like no other, here’s the ticket to ride.
The styling of this 1989 Avanti II Convertible is truly like no other, as it bears design cues from the sixties, seventies and eighties. For example, its red paint job is definitely reminiscent of the seventies and eighties, as are its 15-inch alloy wheels, which look similar to what C4 Corvettes wore in the eighties and nineties. But, the car’s face is definitely from the sixties, and the car’s rear quarters remind us of European sports cars from that era. Oh, and the car has a tan convertible top, which is power-operated, another convenience feature that became commonplace in the eighties. The interior of this 1989 Avanti II Convertible is a four-seat affair in tan leather. You’ve got plenty of modern luxury features, including power mirrors, power windows, and power-adjustable front seats. Then, there’s air conditioning and a full instrument pack. The wood-grain steering wheel is mounted on a tilt-capable column for better ergonomics. Meanwhile, there’s an Alpine CD receiver with HD Radio capabilities for your musical pleasures.
Packed under the hood is a Chevrolet small block 305ci (5.0L) V8. The four-speed automatic transmission features an automatic overdrive for enhanced fuel economy as well, and drives the rear wheels in true sports car fashion. Meanwhile, the front independent coil spring suspension and rear live axle suspension with leaf springs are very Sixties, but you’ll be amazed at how well this 1989 Avanti II Convertible settles down into a comfortable cruise.

The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
Say hello to the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. You may be familiar with the name; after all, it’s one of the most iconic cars out there. It was a proper performance car that took the Camaro name to new heights. One of the downsides of this kind of fame is that imitators are aplenty — not all Camaros bore the SS moniker when they left the showroom. However, our featured car is reported to be a true SS. Moreover, it’s undergone a complete restoration to bring it to its current condition.
Would you like to own a vehicle that’s a sports car and a pickup truck rolled into one surprisingly stylish package? Well, that’s what the Chevy El Camino has been offering for several years, until it bowed out in 1987. This interesting body style provided the ride quality and handling of a car, paired with some load-lugging capabilities more atypical of pickup trucks. Called the Coupe Utility segment, this would go on to become immensely popular in countries such as Australia and South Africa. So if you’re a Coupe Utility fan, check out this 1987 Chevrolet El Camino SS with just 5,000 original miles that we’re selling right now. The current owner reports that it’s had a recent oil change, and comes with a maintenance manual, plus an original car cover to keep it safe should you need to park it outdoors.
