  1. 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?

  2. When they went to the GM post and latch, the lock was a standard post and knob like most cars with the lock at the rear top of the door panel.

    Actually, Avanti Motors didn't go to the rear mounted interior door lock remote control when they first started using the GM latch. The rear mount remote control came much later. ('84-'85) Answer to question is.....False!

  3. While not factory applied, I've seen many Avanti logos in many non-standard locations...such as down way too low, at an angle and gone altogether. Some have different ideas how it should be displayed. On Avanti II's I've seen the "II" displayed upside down on many cars...or at least upside down from how it's mounted on cars in factory literature.

    Right....and one way I strongly dislike is at an angle...(cringe!)

  4. True. If you only include colors offered by Studebaker and not a special non Avanti color.

    Black (special order), White, Turquoise, Gold, Red ( discontinued October 1, 1963), Maroon and Gray.

    Good point on the non-Avanti colors,...but seven isn't the answer here!

  5. Six...White, Turquoise, Gold, Red, Gray and Black (which was an extra cost special order).

    Sorry no,...six is not the correct answer!

  6. I assume you mean the nose of the car. If so, I believe that to be true...on round-eye cars, the chrome script was located at the mid-point of the headlight. On square-eye cars the location was below the centerline of the lens.

    Exactly correct!

  7. False...not including later cars with optional power door locks and switches, the door lock location was changed during the 1977 model year beginning with RQB2500 (How's that for a trivia answer?).

    Hmmmmmm!...I believe your referring to the main door latch assy. I'm speaking of the interior lock knob location.
