I meant the title of this ad/listing: 1963 Avanti Parts Car

I believe Mr. George Krem became the owner of Asa’s beautiful ‘58 Studebaker Golden Hawk.

Yes, ‘ 88… at least on a few later cars!

Some of you may remember Asa Hall of Connecticut. He was pretty much the guru of Studebaker trucks for a long time. He traveled to South Bend back in the 1960s when the company was throwing away a lot of factory photos and other documents, and saved as much as he could. He authored several books on Studebaker and had a large collection of Studebaker vehicles and literature. He was killed in an auto accident several years ago, and his wife/estate has been dispersing his collection of material ever since. I gave a talk on Studebaker trucks at the Rhode Island SDC meet a few years ago, and most of the photos that I used were borrowed from Sharon Hall. Anyway, a lot of his literature (including Avanti and Avanti II) and a few other items are now being auctioned off. There's a lot to look through, but the material is well organized with plenty of photos. Happy bidding. https://www.auctionninja.com/clearingho ... 13249.html

88 maybe,....... the only ones I know that have it, are 89's

serial number?

Dwight... no mention if there is even a title.

The year is in the title, 1963.

False is correct…. and I agree that the t-86 was heavily taxed behind an R1 if the driver drove ‘sportily’!!

Joe... What year is the Avanti? Any photos?

New York

where are you located?

Selling the whole car. Pretty complete. Missing the front windshield. Interior is pretty shot. Complete drive train, body, bumpers. Not parting out. Must take the whole car. $2,500

If you're going to the expense of upgrading to forged pistons, do yourself a favor and upgrade to a modern ring package so you can use thinner low friction rings and/or zero gap 2nd rings.

False. For some reason Avantis used a T-86 threes speed rather than the T-85. The T85 is what became the T-10 with the reverse moved into the tail housing.

Fuel injection was first offered by factory in Avanti automobiles in model year ..…?… 1) 1986…..2) 1987… or….3) 1988

The Stude Avanti three speed and four speed standard transmissions share the same main case…. with reverse gear located in the extension housing on the four speed……..True?

KOOL... Just give me a days heads up.

Thanks my friend. I may head over next week or so, and will stop by to see you too!

AO136, those are great pictures. Thank you for providing them.

Not my pictures but they may help.

Does anyone have a few good pictures of how the rebuild pieces are mounted inside an R2 fuel pump? In particular, the little tiny springs and round washers. What order do those go under those two little mushroom pieces? Also, how is the flat gasket between the two bottom housing pieces oriented? Which cavity is open and which is covered when the gasket is in place? I just rebuilt mine and it's not pumping. Not sure what I did wrong. Thanks for the help.

Ron, I'm sorta surprised You aren't getting a response or answers on this topic. There is a Re-apolstery shop in Canton N.C.,, for Automotive stuff. He does seats but not things like door skins. Your seats weren't too bad for using as a starting point. It might just be a place to check out. The shop is a fenced in lot on the west side of Canton....where the road splits at the traffic light. He has a Attack Poodle like mine (will lick your leg off.).

Two weeks ago I ordered the hose fitting from Myer's Studebaker Parts, and it was delivered on May 4. I installed it Friday evening May 10 and had a successful test drive. The problem has been fixed. Thank you for everyone's comments and information.
