mfg Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 The radiator support found in a non-A/C 1966 Avanti ll has three functions........What are those functions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 To hold the radiator (who would have thought?), to support the front end fiberglass to the frame, to mount the fan shroud (at the bottom). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plwindish Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Since the II's were marketed as a hand built personal luxury car, I'm wondering how many were built without air conditioning. I've seen a lot of Avanti II's, but don't recall one without a.c. Nonworking a.c. yes, but none with the bare center console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure most all had air....but no doubt it could be ordered 'off' the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAvantiR1for Bob Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Since the original question was asked for the Avanti II, is the radiator support function different on a 1963-64 Studebaker Avanti? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say no....sometimes I feel like Avanti ll owners are neglected on these trivia questions....so I threw the '66 Avanti ll in there! (Although on Studebaker Avantis factory equipped with R3 engines, the air filter housing may also be supported by the radiator support?....That would definitely be a question for Brad!)
