Mark63Avanti

I have three chances to be wrong and one chance to be right, gulp. It's a big book with a lot of pages & many blurry black and white pictures. The had to have spent $14,337.00 if they spent a dime.

I will guess $29,885.00 and not a nickel more.

Did anyone put an R3 into a Hawk? Was that possible?

I feel like I'm always wrong and I wanted to say true so I'm going to FALSE.

I think we found our reason why the Avanti didn't save Studebaker: they didn't spend enough on the car show!

I'm going to say $19K. New York is an expensive town and I know Studebaker didn't have any money but this is NOT the area to trim the budget. Fingers crossed.

According to Regnalbob's list, for 22 Avanti owners it was their second Avanti!

I've got it! It's $582

I want to say Pontiac, unless I'm wrong.....

Very nice car. Spread the word!

Don't limit yourself to just the island! If you do need parts for your car you might want to place an order with a states side vendor and have them ship it to your hotel on the island.

Engine pictures in that post shows the supercharger bracket and tensioner arm are still on the engine. This looks to only be missing the supercharger. This car will take a lot of love to put back together. The carburetor is covered and it appears to be missing the air bonnet and the air filter housing.

I always count it as good day if I've learned something new!

Looks like StudeRich on the SDC website back in April of 2022. He says that Studebaker of California (NOS Stude parts) and a repair shop Studebaker Parts & Repair were in the same building but not affiliated. Studebaker of California then sold/moved to Indiana while the repair shop continued. According to his post the owner of the repair shop retired with the shop continuing but moving to its new location and changing its name to Studebaker Restoration LTD.
