The Studebaker Avanti design team spent....1) four.......2) five.....or.... 3) six weeks in Palm Springs designing the car?
-
The maximum torque of a mid seventies 400 CI Avanti ll engine is?.......1) 340...........2) 380..........3) 400....or 430 ft. lbs.
-
Unlike other Studebaker passenger cars, an Avanti's front end alignment was performed on a separate alignment rack AFTER it came off the assembly line.....True?
-
Although the survival rate for Studebaker Avantis seems to be high, the years 1963-1975 were especially harsh on these cars.
My guess on how many '64 Avantis are still 'on the road' today would be approx. 250.
-
Well, that's a tough one!!.....I'd have to say that since your Avanti is still in primer, bite the bullet and start re-working the body...it's really not THAT big of a deal.
Be thankful that you didn't discover this error AFTER the car was painted.....And that DOES sometimes happen!
-
None of the above, leftover Studebaker stock.
'None of the above' is CORRECT!! Well done!
-
ANSWER.....A solid 'saddle tan' interior color option....probably similar in color to the '58 Packard Hawk interior, but once again made using vinyl.....not leather.
Altman must have liked the look, as many of his Avanti ll's were built with a 'saddle' interior color!
-
Weren't they also flirting with 4 headlights?
I think they were.....or even two real w-i-d-e ones!
-
Cutting the shroud in half and then re-joining it is not a bad idea......I did this recently on my '55 Studebaker Speedster (just drilled out the spot welds where the upper and lower halfs were joined)
This save a lot of work if I have to access the fan or the water pump.
-
Not exactly what I was thinking of........This change was based on the 1964 Studebaker Avanti interior....With one difference!
-
The 'under the floorboard' clutch & brake pedal pivot?
I didn't think anyone would get that....Yes, that's it!...Well done Paul!
-
A '59 or '60 Lark convertible frame will substitute nicely for an original Studebaker Avanti frame. (once all the Avanti outriggers, brackets, rear tubular crossmember, etc. have been transferred to the Lark frame)
But what will always give this replacement frame away as originally coming from a Studebaker Lark?
-
False - I believe that car was Avanti White.
The early prototypes were either Avanti Gold or Avanti White. I can only find NY Auto Show pictures in black and white just now and the Avanti looks more like white than gold. It was displayed on a turntable.
Correct!....The NY Avanti was painted 'Avanti White'!
-
No 1965 Studebaker Avanti experts in the house tonight??
-
The Avanti which Studebaker put on display at the April, '62 New York Auto Show was painted 'Avanti Gold'......True?
-
Who was the supplier of front and rear bumpers for the Altman's 'Avanti ll'?.............1) Budd...........2) Souh Bend Stamping........3) Detroit Formed Steel ....or....4) None of the above.
-
Yes, it would certainly be good practice to install a new ball driver while replacing the drive element set, but for some reason the two were always packaged and sold separately. (From what I've seen)
-
What was the major interior change Studebaker had in mind for the 1965 Studebaker Avantis? (Had there been 1965 Studebaker Avantis!!)
-
B78 it is!....I believe its still at the SNM....The 'real deal' R3 that was on display beside it was sold off about five years ago.
-
Correct!...The disc brake spindle must be used....Answer....TRUE!
-
I kind of like the look of that green Avanti!
-
Disc brake assemblies removed from a '64 Studebaker Avanti will not fit onto a '63 Studebaker drum brake equipped Hawk...............True?
-
Here's one for all you 'numbers' guys.........
The SNM 'real deal' R4 engine's 'B' serial number is.............1) B49......2) B52.........3) B67....or.....4) B78......?
-
There are two pins also, (and don't forget the lock washer)
Right....it was the twin pins that I was looking for!.....Answer to question,...FALSE!
Avanti Mileage?
in Avanti Trivia
Posted
Gas mileage for the Avanti /Allstate cross country Avanti (from LA to NYC) was approx..........1) 15.........2) 17......3) 19...or...4) 22 MPG?
(The Avanti was an R2, four speed, with 3.31 rear)
