[valve cover part number?]

Sorry, don't have the part number but they are all the same for Stude V8's (the early engines had 4 hold down stud grommets the later including Avanti had 2). All the usual Stude suppliers can supply them, probably only in neoprene unless they have some really old stock of cork which would probably be too brittle by now.

[1963 VIN #]

Might be a typo in the eBay listing or maybe the seller is mistaking the body tag for the S/N on the frame?

My '63 R2 was sold new in Burlingame CA and the CA title lists the VIN as A63R3287.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll contact Myer's Stude, Thankfully the S/C is operating OK at this point (knock on wood) but the car is barely running due to carb issues from sitting too long.

Kennie, if you do run across the vendor for carpet I would appreciate it!

Cheers,

John

Hi Folks,

After a long rest I'm getting my R2 Avanti, 63R-3287 back on the road. I've been out of the loop re parts vendors and available items for a while and would appreciate suggestions re locating the following:

Rebuilder for the AFB carb and Carter fuel pump

Turquoise front seat upholstery

Turquoise/black "salt & pepper" complete carpet set

"Paxton Supercharger" tag above the S/C pulley

Thanks!

John
