Being such a low number it could infact be plausible.

Being that your question could contain some trickery ie R or RS and based solely on the number in question and the lowness of that serial number my quess is true.

So there's a conflict on info / Have you seen the Build sheet?

 

Yes, there's a reprint of 63R1002's production order in issue 166 of Avanti Magazine....Its final assembly date was 6/14/62, and its factory R2 engine is indeed # RS-1003.

Dave Kinney owns this Avanti....it's 'mint'....and it won best in class at the Amelia Island Concours in 2014!:o       (Body # 63RQ102)

At least the second body went on the second Avanti.

An occurrence that soon ended as Studebaker Avanti production was ramped up!:o
