Hi Pete, If you still need it I have an NOS right side headlight bucket. Roy

Jerry, do you still have them? I need the fronts (both sides) for a '63.

Thanks everyone. My car is a '63, but I would go with the '64 cores if I had to. My car isn't completely stock so it wouldn't matter. I was hoping to find a member that had the parts, thinking I might get a better price and at the same time help out a fellow member, but I'll reach out to Dan and John for prices and see where that goes.

As of 2024.

What timeline?

Of the ten ‘EX’ prototype Studebaker Avantis which were built, only …..?….. remain. 1) three…..2) four……3) five…..or……4) seven

Thanks much. This is a huge help.

And, did the strip stop the rattle? It didn't on my car...

Should be very easy. I did it without problem. You mean these parts:

In your particular case, due to the year model and build location, John Hull should have the build sheet for your car. I know he charges for the information so you'll need to decide if you want to inquire about this with him. Also, a lot of the information that I put together came from John and Don Linder. The rest was done through research, which is ongoing also.

Ernie.. I have an "02" and am pretty sure of the production numbers for that year.. 1 of 33, 1 of 15ish convertibles and 1 of 3 in the green color. Those numbers didn't come from John Hull... they came from ''ronmanfredi'' (who posted above). He's been trying to put together tallies and numbers on our '01-07' Models. What has frustrated me is IF this was a (say) '69 Camaro, I would be able to read the vin and get ALL info on the vehicle... Not true in our cars. To me, value is somewhat based on rarity and there is very little to go on.

@SCPO-PD You're welcome; glad I could help! Sorry the parts in the pictures are kind of grimy - I did this installation 20 yrs and many miles ago. @Bobcat I hope your mechanic can get this puzzle solved for you. You will really like this once it's done. It really transforms the car at highway speeds and is the single greatest improvement I've done over the years. To get the full benefit of this conversion, make sure you have a method of engaging the torque converter lock-up clutch. There are a few different ways to achieve this and there are aftermarket devices available to perform this function.

I purchased carb kit from SI last week… $69 in catalog…. $99 plus shipping upon arrival! Yes, always inquire current price.

I dont need any, but saved the listing just in case. . .

Thank you! I have several lists of the production numbers, none of them align with one another, but one thing is certain, there were not many produced in 2005-2007 and the numbers of known to still exist is even less. . .I am a proud owner, I have wanted an Avanti since I was young, I remember walking down the street with my father, who was stationed at Beale Air Force Base, and asking, what is that. . .he said and I quote, "That is a Studebaker, it is their sports car, it is an Avanti-(having just returned from Italy) you know that means Forward. Those Studebakers have always been ahead of everyone! That last quote is one of the ones I hear the most about our cars. My Avanti is at the boat shop getting some work done on it. . .but it should be out next week. I love late winter in Alabama it feels like Summer in Michigan!

Adam - MUCH THANKS for the pictures. I am getting ready to put my th700 back in and couldn't remember the connections -yes I forgot to take pictures.....

The same goes with Dan Booth. He has a habit of quoting one price and then when you get the invoice it's much higher (like heart attack higher), so I now pin down the price with all the sellers.

Myers had a potential supplier of this trim he was hoping to work with. Talk to his daughter at the shop. I am looking for same.

If you work with Meyer's, make sure you get price first. He was able to supply me with some rears, but since we did not discuss price ahead of time, I just about had a heart attack when I got the charge.

Contact Jon Myer at Myer’s Studebaker. He has a number of Avanti parts cars.

'63 or '64? AFAIK the rear arm rests are the same for both years, but the front arm rests are a little different on top. Perhaps, hopefully, either year could be used for your car. --Dwight

Working on getting the new interior installed now that the repainted body is back on the totally rebuilt chassis. I sent the four arm rests out to be reupholstered and the shop lost them! Trying to find both the front and back ones in decent condition. By "decent" I mean only needing new vinyl, not seriously water damaged or warped. Hoping one of the memers saved a set from a '64 that was parted out.

Solved the problem!

Does anyone have pics that they will post here showing using the linkage available thru nostalgic ,and installed, for the 200 4r?
