Your search terms (1963 and 4.2 litre) don't match the production. The
4.2 litre engine didn't come along until late in 1964. I had a '64 with
4.2 engine and triple SUs that looked just like this '63 from your
search below

I've often thought I'd like to have it back but probably couldn't afford
any more. :-)
The XKE is the only car I've ever owned that can easily go from a
standing start in 4th gear with just a tiny bit of clutch slippage.

Perhaps the most beautiful auto to have ever graced the roads.

I’d say that that was an acquired taste, Chris. But at least it
doesn’t look huge and boat-like . . .

While cycling around the yard sales in south Tempe, I spotted
what has to be my dream car: A
1963 Studebaker Avanti with a 200HP Packard 350 engine.
Unfortunately, my miserable 3M cell phone
camera does not do this American classic justice:

Nice. I've always like Avanti's, even the post-Studebaker ones.
It's still an attractive car, even by today's standards.
