R2 automatic is a good combo!… Factory Stude Avanti four speed clutch linkage was never up to the job… The Powershift automatic really makes a better car… maybe a bit less fun to drive… but a better all around car!(IMHO)

Bob… Sounds to me that after doing careful research, you bought yourself a really nice Avanti. That’s great news!! I like ‘Avanti White’ Stude Avantis with the orange interior… Many of the early production Avantis were built in that fashion. Best of luck with your new purchase!……I hope you have many happy miles behind the steering wheel! Merry Christmas…Ed

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to my fellow AOAI Forum members !

Wow!… were you the Grinch that stole Christmas in another life?? You need to learn respect for others opinions son! Happy Holidays!

Agreed… All I’d add is…. on 6V vehicles, which need all the ‘grounding’ they can get, the ground wire is sometimes relocated directly to a starter mounting bolt. Of course, this would not apply to Avantis or any other 12V vehicle.

Sounds like the SDC forum administrator is finally attempting to earn his pay….…. Will wonders never cease ??

“Inane”?….I don’t think so…. However, I do understand that individuals situations and viewpoints can widely differ….. I stand by my prior comments.

Bob, as in real estate, there’s no such thing as a true ‘comp’ in the Avanti world….There are simply too many variables…… To repeat, an Avanti, or any other collector car, is worth what the buyer is willing to pay you, and what you’ll accept, on the day you sell it!

If you’ve installed a new deck lid weatherstrip, it can fight you until it settles down!

Ha ha… well said!

Yes.

NEWS FLASH…. Our Avantis, if put up for sale, are only worth what the next guy is willing to pay for them!!

Please see my last reply to 64 Studebaker Avanti… Thanks

Simply stated..I believe term limits on club positions such as forum administrator should be considered by the SDC board of directors…. PS…After being a member of SDC since 1968, and holding an original membership card signed by Harry Barnes, I left the Studebaker Drivers Club over this person….When and if that forum administrator is ever replaced, I will ‘probably’ rejoin the club.

Wouldn’t be too sure about that!
