  1. Fuel floats from Avanti 3506S & 3507S Carter AFB carburetors are not interchangeable.....True?
  2. In the latest issue of AVANTI MAGAZINE there's a great article on Joe Granatelli's Cadillac/ Avanti.... Very nicely done install, however, I was amazed they would use a two foot long copper pipe to direct coolant from the lower radiator outlet and back up into the engine.. I wonder why they didn't have a local radiator shop simply move the lower outlet on the radiator over to the driver's side?
  3. GORGEOUS 2006 Avanti Coupe (#6) featured in the 2023 AOAI Calendar!
  4. Interestingly, R5653 (formerly EX2946) was the only re-serialed prototype Avanti assigned a body number....True?
  5. Which of the following 'production line' R3 Studebaker Avantis had its engine removed when new, had the engine shifted around between four or five different owners, then re-united with this same Avanti several years later? 1) R5237.....2) R5394.....3) R5532.....or......4) R5593

    Worn Avanti!

    Around about 1981, a VERY TIRED Studebaker Avanti engineering (EX) car was advertised for sale at a (then) quite high price of $15,000.......That Avanti was/is.....?..... 1) EX2945........2) EX2947......3) EX2944....or....4) EX2946
  7. l clearly remember the very first '63 Avanti I ever saw. It was delivered to my local Studebaker dealer in Brockton, Massachusetts. The specifics of that Avanti were.....Avanti Gold, R2, 4 speed trans, Firestone '500' whitewalls, and an orange and fawn 'Deluxe' interior. The crew from the Studebaker garage constantly 'road tested' (hot-rodded) that Avanti around town, and with its 'nose down' mean shape and 'straight through' glasspack exhaust system....it left quite an impression on me. Does anyone else on this forum remember the very first Avanti they ever saw? Comments welcome!
