Thank you, Gary. I was aware of that. I just wanted to know if anyone has seen the car.
-
Has anyone seen this R-2585 Avanti (red). The title is 1964, but is definitely a 1963. I sold it to Bob Johnson. Kingsville Maryland?

Thanks Deano for your input. Much appreciated. The first set I had (Pertronix) was good for 6 years, then last year it crapped out on me. I got the second one last June. It was fine until a month ago. I would get a occasional cough when driving. I'm going to look at the wires(spark plug) next.

Followup to this story. I put in new spark plug wires. Didn't start at all, the Pertronix died. I got 1 year out of it. It's under a 30 month warranty so I got a free replacement. Fast forward, put the Pertronix in. Car started, but ran like CRAP! Found out the spark plug wires were JUNK! NAPA replaced them and I'm back in business.

He definitely is!....he and that gorgeous turquoise '64 Studebaker Avanti of his!
Is there a chance he would sell it?

I have the #1584 Pertronix ignitor on my 259 R1. Has anyone had issues with their ignitor? Mine will occasionally backfire on acceleration. Everything else has checked out.

Thanks Brad and Studegary!!! That's good information.

What was the best year the Studebaker Corp. ever had in sales? I don't know myself. I was asked that question today.

I attended the NSM on Thursday and noticed the 63 Avanti Ron Hall went 200 MPH in Bonneville. There was no mention of Ron or his name on the car. I thought that was a bit strange.

Gunslinger....were you at the meet this year. I saw John Hull and visited with him at the Avanti host hotel. Also, John Seaton was there with his Audi.

Right now I have a Purolator L30005 that came with the car from the previous owner

Thanks again....you were right, It's a beautiful car. I spent a whole day with him at the St. Louis Nationals. Very interesting man.
-
Thank you...I hope to see him in SB in May. I hope he is going.

Does anyone know if Dick Vaux is still active with the club? He's a friend of John Hull.

Hello fellow Avanti owners. What have you guys been using for a oil filter for a 1964 289 R1?
Right now I have a Purolator L30005 that came with the car.
Thanks,
Steve

What amperage does the motor on a power window draw?
-
That is not a part number.
Click on the link.
Fairborn Studebaker has it under part #1584

Looking for a Pertronix modulator #D-57-2

Does anybody know Bob's email address for updating a car I sold?

Look into adding a second spring and rewiring the switches and motors to run via relays. You will not be disappointed with these two changes.These suggestions are in addition to those from Gunslinger. If it were me, I'd start by pulling the entire regulator , motor etc., out of the door and starting over.
John
Sounds like a project far beyond my expertise and wallet. Maybe I will take Gunslingers path
Thanks for your input.

My right side (passenger side) power window can be inconsistent. It goes down with no problems, but coming back up it needs help.
How much would a replacement motor cost or any suggestions?
Thanks

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

There was 809 made. How many of them are still on the road today? I don't have the answer.
64 avanti master cylinder (single port)
in 1963-64 Avanti

Have any of you Avanti owners experienced seepage around the cover (single port) of your MC? I keep it 1/2 inch from the top. I just got it from Fairborn Stude a few months ago.
I experienced that with my previous master and thought it was the cap not sealing properly. Your thoughts and thank you in advance
