  1. I guess if we have our emails in the registry book and some hairball gets his hands on one they could cause all kinds of shenanigans. Guess I could contact Don and let him know somebody hijacked him. Mike
  2. Looks like the real Mr. Haney lives in my neck of the woods, maybe I’ll see him at a show sometime. Thanks guys. Mike
  3. Really suspicious that I would get an email from someone with that email address. Especially that it changed. Mike
  4. I need to get an Apple iTunes Gift Card for a friend of mine who is diagnosed with stage 4 mesothelioma cancer, it's her birthday but I can't do this now because I’m currently traveling for a business meeting and I'm unavailable over the phone, I am only here with my iPad. I tried purchasing it online but unfortunately, I got no luck on that. Wondering if you could help me take care of this by getting the gift cards at the store. and I'll reimburse you once I get back home. Please let me know so I can provide you the amount needed. Thanks. Don Haney
  5. My starter was getting sluggish on my 83. Took a razor blade and made a little slice and saw just a tiny bit of green on the long cable to the starter. Replaced it and it made all the difference in the world. Mike
  6. My 83 did not have a slide out vanity. Did they start fazing them out then? Didn’t look like it ever had one, no holes in the glovebox. I got one from Nostalgic, my wife thinks it’s handy! Any other location for a paint code?
  7. These gizmos work good if you get the right size Mike https://www.amazon.com/Motion-Pro-08-0182-Cable-Luber/dp/B0012TYX9W
  8. I had a black 75 Monte Carlo that I repainted, wet sanded, clear coated, and polished. It was a nice car but I rubbed it down with Mequire’s Mirror Glaze every weekend and kept it clean. Black is beautiful if done right but it takes a lot of upkeep to stay that way. Don’t have the energy for that anymore!
  9. So did Tanda have issues with fit because of aftermarket bars or are the factory bars difficult to work with?
  10. A shoutout to Leo for the nice feature article in the latest Avanti Magazine. Beautiful car! Mike
  11. I leave my link for the forum on my favorites, go directly to it and bypass the AOAI home page.
  12. Were the heavier bars a factory option, and if so why wouldn’t they be an easy swap? I bought a set for my car but haven’t installed them yet. Thanks, Mike
  13. From Bob Johnstone’s site: https://studebaker-info.org/TW/tw0478/tw0478R3.html Mike
  14. Suppose there is a Pacer club somewhere? When was the last time you saw one at a car show? And there were 10 times more of them than Avantis? Mike
  15. Pictures in Bob Johnstone’s Avanti registry show my 83 with a moonroof, but somewhere along the line it was removed, possibly by previous owner Mike Valent of Florida. He has passed and I haven’t been able to find any history on the car, but whoever did the work did a very good job. I think Nostalgic still has roof skins available, but then there is the headliner to contend with. Mike
  16. Here’s an article in a recent Avanti Magazine. Mike https://www.nostalgicmotorcars.net/uploads/1/2/4/8/124888690/nostalgic_cooloff_v2_aoai203__1_.pdf

    I had the same problem, ended up up wiring in resistors on each side. Lights are brighter but probably draws more than just having incandescents. Mike
  18. I’m 6’5 (or I used to be before I had both knees replaced). To get in my 83 with Ricarros I put my butt in first, then roll my legs in. Once in, plenty of leg room for me. Is there a club near Raleigh where Jeff could go check some out? Mike
  19. Thom, did you get the info I emailed? Mike
  20. Ok Thom, give me a little time, I have a couple days of cutting hay but I’ll try and get them scanned for you. Mike
  21. Steve Maybe we will see you and your car in Harrington next May, fun show. Good luck with the car, quite a history. Thanks for the story, Parklife! Mike
  22. I think there is more to it than that simple diagram. There is a magnet and sensor that goes on the driveline to provide data to the computer for speed and distance. I’d be happy to scan the manuals and email them. Might help a little. Mike
  23. I got this system from JC Penneys back in the late 70’s. Never installed it. Different manufacturer probably but the operation is probably the same.
