False...the tall Egbert banged his head getting in the mock-up and ordered more headroom be made. That resulted in a more vertical windshield (angled just perfect for bugs to squash rather that deflect off...like the front end).
Well done!....Answer...FALSE
-
False...at least with respect to a lean condition or flat-spotting in acceleration. Studebaker put out a service letter to dealers how to correct the problem and what carburetor parts to order from a parts depot.
Gunslinger is correct here....The R2 carb itself states..."See your Studebaker DEALER"! Answer.... FALSE
-
Where were you in 1970? (probably not Wichita!)
-
Then Studebaker President Sherwood Egbert's main criticism when seated in the Avanti design 'body buck' was a serious lack of legroom.....True?
-
A Paxton superchargers internal oil pump is not driven by a cam machined into the blower's output shaft....True?
-
True, plus numbers would be skipped for no known reason. That's one reason why determining actual production numbers is so difficult...one would think different for such a low-volume manufacturer. Retitling cars from one year and selling them several years later as the later model year adds to the confusion. Cars built vs. cars sold in a calendar year...throw in the occasional retitled car and the problem becomes worse.
All true, and the answer is..TRUE
-
Avantis built prior to October, 1962, had 'Studebaker-Packard' printed on their frame mounted serial number plate.....True?
-
In 1963, Studebaker suggested to owners of supercharged Avantis that any carburetor related issues be referred to the factory......True?
-
No one has done this to their GT Hawk?
-
No thoughts on this one from you car designers out there?
-
The automatic transmission front band adjustment specification for Avanti 'PowerShift' equipped '63-'64 Studebakers is exactly the same spec. as '63-'64 V8 Studes equipped with the regular 'Flightomatic' transmission.....True?
-
Avanti Motors would at times assign a serial number to an Avanti ll, but never actually build the car for whatever reason.....True?
-
I think it is true. Other parts were used from AMC, including the outside mirrors in the 1970s.
Correct!...Those marker lamps first used on '80 Jeep Eagle...Answer..TRUE
-
Possibly but I used more than 10' of 4" wide plate to repair my 74 frame. So false from my standpoint.
I'd also have to go with four inch wide......answer..FALSE
-
All great info on this special Avanti!...And Ishuc, I'll post the # of the Avanti Magazine the 'SUNDANCE' photo is in tomorrow.
-
No Jeep authorities out there?
-
No opinions here?
-
Perhaps the switch. Could have been a Torrix switch supplied by Carello.
Craig
Switch eh?....I'm sure not going to say you're wrong!
-
No he has a Champion.
Right!....answer FALSE
-
True. They are the same
Yes, it's TRUE
-
Well the price is what we are trying to figure out here. The last time it was driven was probably about a month ago. It was never a daily driver but would get driven at least once a month. He is the second owner and the car has always been stored in his heated garage.
If the frame and troughs are completely solid....and considering the low mileage, known history, nice clean interior & exterior,...I'd ask 28K for it.
-
There were two wrecked Studebaker Avantis sitting side-by-side in a backyard in Shirley, Mass for the longest time. Both Avantis were minus their 'noses', as they were both involved in front end collisions. But, once again, this fellow collected Studes, and it wasn't an 'official' auto graveyard.
-
Don Garltis has a Studebaker Avanti in his 'Museum Of Speed' in Florida....True?
-
Hardtop looks, but with a solid "B" pillar...? Plus Avantis had the quintessential Studebaker "speedboat" cowl to define the windshield area and Loewy had oversight in both designs.
Yep,...you've got this one!...Doors without upper frames similar to, for example, a Hawk (K) hardtop,....Yet a "B" pillar and swing out 1/4 glass like a Hawk © coupe!.....Very interesting when one thinks about it!
Avanti Gutters!

No doubt!....But the stated question still remains.......True or False?
