1984 Avanti - Want to register it with AOAI not sure if Blake, Kelly, etc.

Recommended Posts

I am a member of Studebaker Driver's Club - Chief Blaze. (1955 President Coupe).

I just joined this AOAI Forum

i just purchased a 1984 Avanti Coupe, and I want to register the car with AOAI.

On the registration form, I must select that it is either a 1984 Touring Coupe or a Blake edition.

(I don't think Blake is right but am not sure).

The VIN number for my vehicle does not match with the choices listed.

 My Vin # is 12AAV1232E1003948  My Title Paper shows 1984 Avanti. 

 Vin# plate on the vehicle matches the title papers.

Car Fax report from VIN # shows clean history.  Also confirms it is a1984 model.

Bought car from CARSMART in Missouri

Any information would be appreciated. 

Thank You

 Blaze

Thanks for the info Silverstude. 

I saw only one other listing on the 1984 Avanti registry with an E in the VIN (and not RQB),

Feb 3, 2009 1984 E100 3892 Jerry M. Dillon.  All the rest started with RQB.

That clears up a lot for me.   So, do I substitute RQB when looking up my VIN and registering the car with AOIA?

With the PO"s permission per the dealer, I would like to make contact with him.

Is there a listing in the Studebaker Driver's Club, or the Avanti Onwers Association for members by name?

I am told that he is a member of SDC. 

If so, I will send him a Private E mail.

Not sure if I should post his name here in the clear so I did not do so.

Thanks again!

Your Avanti (3948) is an RBQ number for 1984.   The listing for an E is probably some sort of error.  RQB3892 is a 1984 Touring Coupe.  Both the AOAI and SDC Rosters list member's names.

Thank you for the welcome.

  And my apology again for that double posting and cluttering of this very nice forum.

Car arrived in good condition last Monday from Missouri.

A bit of work on little stuff is underway but nothing major.

Thank you all!
