The 327 Corvette engine, used in the early "A" series Avanti ll's, utilized solid valve lifters....True?
-
The driveshaft slip joint (yoke), as used on an '82 Avanti ll, is the same as the one used on a '64 Studebaker Avanti except for its inside diameter and number of splines.....True?
-
When re-assembling a Studebaker Avanti R2 carb, seven of the screws should be sealed with Permatex....True?
-
The Veglia clock, found in some Avanti ll's, was made in Spain.....True?
-
Gunslinger is right with a 'NOPE'! But plwindish brings up a good point questioning if the Avanti hood ornament is one of the 'Pirates Buckles.' My feeling is that it's a bit of a stretch...but probably is.
-
Reproduction '63 Studebaker Avanti headlamp outer rings are made exactly like the originals, but now have a much higher quality (show chrome) finish.....True?
-
The Studebaker Avanti's unique "S" emblem, set into an outer chrome bezel, has over the years been nicknamed the 'Captains Buckle'.....True?

The codes are for 1963 and not 1964. There is no P-6337 in dealer fact books, only P-6333 for Avanti Gold in 1963.
For 1964 all paint codes started with P-64.
Gold is Gold . You cant count it as two different colors. The answer is seven.
Gold P-6433
Black P-6430
White P-6431
Turquoise P-6432
Red P-6434
Gray P-6435
Maroon P-6436
These numbers had to be specified on the dealer order form.
No, there were two Studebaker 'Avanti Golds' (but not many folks know this) To confirm locate the period Ditzler (now PPG) paint manual. The 1963 'Avanti Gold' was carried over into 1964. The Ditzler paint mix code on this color was...21530. The newer 'Avanti Gold Poly', introduced for the '64 models, carried the Ditzler mix code....22480. Once again, not many folks realize this. Studebaker Avanti paint codes indeed are confusing....The first Avantis sold in the summer of '62 also carried the P-63 paint prefix.

Since the II's were marketed as a hand built personal luxury car, I'm wondering how many were built without air conditioning. I've seen a lot of Avanti II's, but don't recall one without a.c. Nonworking a.c. yes, but none with the bare center console.
I'm sure most all had air....but no doubt it could be ordered 'off' the car.

To hold the radiator (who would have thought?), to support the front end fiberglass to the frame, to mount the fan shroud (at the bottom).
Right On!

No warranty on just the R-3 or R-4 engine only, or no warranty on the entire vehicle?
No warranty on the R3-4 engine only...and Studebaker didn't want to hear about more than one 'defective' clutch either!
-
Correct..Answer False...Nardi wheel is 15" diam.
-
True
True is correct!....I like your late Stude Avanti!
-
Sure...I'll list all eight............Avanti Black, Avanti White, Avanti Turquoise, Avanti Gold, Avanti Red, Avanti Gray Poly, Avanti Maroon Poly, and Avanti Gold Poly- Studebaker code P-6337. (Not to be confused with 'Avanti Gold' Stude code P-6333
-
The rear spring plates found on a 1964 'Super Lark' are identical to the rear spring plates found on a 1964 Avanti.....True?
-
No more opinions on this question?
-
The optional Nardi steering wheel, as found in 1983 Avantis, is 16" in diameter.....True?
-
The two flexible automatic transmission cooler lines on a Studebaker Avanti are exactly the same....True?
-
The answer is actually False......For years 'Fel-Pro' complete overhaul gasket sets for the '51-'64 Studebaker car and truck V8 (and '57-'58 Packard) included the big R3 intake manifold gaskets....Don't ask me why....but they did!
-
Absolutely false!
-
For whatever reason, Studebaker assigned L&R part numbers to the identical front bumper end cushions used on the 1963 Avanti.....True?
-
The radiator support found in a non-A/C 1966 Avanti ll has three functions........What are those functions?
-
Not all engine gaskets will interchange between the R2 and the R3 Avanti engines. Having said that, 'R3 only' gaskets always had to be ordered individually......they were never found packed into a regular Studebaker V8 overhaul gasket set......True?
-
'Super Red', as used on 'Super' 1963 Studebaker Larks and Hawks, is actually 'Avanti Red', but enamel based as opposed to lacquer based.....True?

Between the years '63 thru '85, Avantis left the factory with two 'low back' front bucket seats or two 'high back' front bucket seats.....but not one of each.....True?
