In September of this year, both the Avanti Owners Association International and the Studebaker Drivers Club groups are having a joint meet in Washington County, Pennsylvania. We have created a special limited edition "event" shirt that honors the Avanti Bonneville Salt Flats land speed record with the Studebaker and event logos on the sleeves. T-Shirts, Women's V Necks, long sleeve and hoodies are available in multiple sizes. These colorful shirts would be fun to wear at car shows and club events. You can purchase them here: https://aoai.org/shop/

Hi tsterkel, This is old topic but interesting. I dont find article from #137 Winter / Spring 2007. Where to find the article?

I need to replace the driver's side convertible top latch on my 1987 Avanti II. Does anyone know of a aa possible source or how to rebuild mine? Thanks, Bob

I can't get onto the SDC forum, and haven't been able to all day. What comes up looks like the normal logon page, minus the graphics. And, it won't let me log on. What do y'all know? Thanks for any help. --Dwight

I spent a year working all the bugs out of our 82 model. Electrical, A/C, oil leaks, ring and pinion noise, rebuilt front suspension, etc., etc. But when your finally done, you'll have a nice car and well educated on Avanti...

I am in need of rear seats in black for 1963 or 1964 Avantis. Hoping for excellent condition. Please let me know if you have any leads. Would also be interested in fronts if you know of any. Thanks, Jeff jeffbradel@gmail.com

Thanks. Yes, I saw it. However, it's about door mounted exterior fixed and remote control rear view mirrors. The part I need is for the INTERIOR mirror that attaches to the inside of the windshield. My base pad got messed up when a previous owner relocated the mirror to the overhead switch panel and screwed the base pad to the padded frame surrounding the switches.

Just curious, what was the shipping? Mark and I are clear across the country. Mike

Yes, the lighting of the blue Avanti in the "Photos" page is better. Thanks.

Many members that bought these spoilers have posted pictures to this thread, unfortunately they don't seem to open any more, if you go to the link to my home page at https://avantispoilers.bigcartel,com/ and click on pictures, you will see a light blue Avanti and also pictures of the part. You could also PM member Wildfelr , and I'm sure he would send you some pictures of his car. I am currently restoring RQA0348 which is in primer. If you want, I can hold up an unfinished spoiler to it (they come in black gel coat) and send you a couple pictures, Thank you for your interest in my product.

There is an article in the latest AOAI Avanti Magazine on mirrors and parts.

Problem solved. I had the dash out and discovered the AC fan is grounded when it is bolted to the dash frame. Dash back in, and Fan powers up! Now on to troubleshooting no dash lights! It never ends!

Would you happen to have a different photograph that has different (better) lighting under the front end? The shadow in the one above is really dark. It makes it hard to see the spoiler.

I have the interior rear view mirror and stem for my '63, but need the base that attaches the stem & mirror assembly to the inside of the windshield. Anyone have an extra one? Part #1351306.

Recently, there has been requests for spoiler availability. Apparently, there is continued interest in them. I am posting this to see how many may still be looking to purchase one. Last month, I shipped one to a member in Illinois and the FedEx shipping was through the roof! Since I will be attending the Avanti/SDC meet in Washington, PA, it occurred to me that if anyone who still wants a spoiler could order now and, if you are attending the show, I could bring them and save you the shipping cost. If this appeals to you, I will need your order soon to ensure they are made by September.

Brad…. Does the newer ‘gear drive’ Paxton produce the same scream as the older ‘ball drive’ SN-60 type…. More/Less?
