I will hazard a guess that's false. Several reviews from back in the day criticized the spread of gears used by Studebaker. One reviewer wondered whether GM had an exclusive on the close ratio gearing for the Corvette. So, I'll say Studebaker used a wide-ratio T-10.
Right!....Stude used the 'wide ratio T-10'.....Answer....FALSE!

False. Avanti Service Specialist.
'Specialist'! That's it!.....'AVANTI CUSTOM SERVICE SPECIALIST'.....Answer....FALSE

None of the prototype Avantis had tu-toned steering wheels......True?

What did the term 'Space Trading' refer to when one thinks about the preliminary design phase of the Studebaker Avanti?
-
The rear 1/4 windows on 1989 Avanti convertibles are not power operated.....True?
-
Studebaker installed special hubs on at least one Avanti to accommodate 'Ferrari Type' Borrani wire wheels.....True?

The gear ratio set used in the Studebaker Avanti (and early Avanti ll) T-10 four speed transmission was known as the 'close ratio' set.....True?

This thread did get off subject a bit , which is just fine because I'm learning a lot about Avanti's, and I now have a much better idea of some of the trim differences of the 2 years. My ultimate goal would be to find an R2, 4 speed, turquoise exterior and turquois interior, round headlights. If anybody has any leads feel free to let me know about it.
That's pretty close to a description of my '63 Avanti.....but mine is an automatic....and as much as I like my car, I agree with you that a four speed would be a bit more fun! Good luck on your 'Avanti Hunt'!

I would say that's false. I know that Paxton continued to sell R3 and R4 engines until the last of them were sold by 1969 or thereabout.
FALSE is the correct answer....R3 (and R4) 'crate' engines were not stocked in South Bend......They were shipped directly from Paxton Products in California.
