Great information guys! Thank you very much!

I have a couple new overhead switch bezels or trim plates that I could use some help identifying. Please see attached pics. They are new and I assume fit 63-64, but not sure about later models.

Also, I have what I believe to be a new OEM 63-64 owners manual and accessory manual in the clear plastic sleeve.. I saw some reprints on Ebay, so I would like some help to confirm if these are OEM. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Silver. The last 4 look 3989. Little had to read from my pictures.

FYI...The car sold today using Craigslist.

I am selling a 1984 Avanti for my elderly father-in law. It is sort of a barn find. He has owned it for over 20 years and it was stored in a friends garage. It was probably driven 100 or so miles in that time. The car was purchased from the estate of an Avanti enthusiast near Lansing. 78K miles, Chevy 305, , runs and drives good. Good shape for its age. Asking price $9200

Hi Dunkin,

I am getting ready to sell a 1984 Avanti in Michigan if you are interested and nearby. Its for my father in law and I don't know much about them.

I plan to call this place next week to have a a bunch of parts appraised. https://www.nostalgicmotorcars.net/#/

Not sure if they are still around. Less than an hour from the house. The website works. Claims to have the largest inventory of Avanti parts.

Thanks

Hi All,

I posted the note below on the parts for sale side of this club forum yesterday in hopes of getting some information on the value of the parts pictured in that posting as well as other parts I sort of inherited. So far I have had a few offers to buy the stuff, but no advice on values. If any of the club members can give me some guidance, it would be appreciated. Otherwise I will just ebay the stuff. Also, if any members are in to Avanti literature, please contact me.

Thanks

Adam

New member Adam here. I am selling my Father-In-law's 84 Avanti and could use some advice on parts and literature.

The 84 came with quite a few parts that fit 1963 and 1964 Avanti's as well as a ton of literature. The car and parts were purchased from the widow of the car's owner 20+ years ago.

I assume the previous owner had older Avanti's other than the '84 and the garage got cleaned out when this car was purchased.

Any Michigan area members are welcome to come over and check it out.

I am a car guy, but do not know much about Avanti's.

I am thinking about putting stuff on Ebay, but would be happy to sell to club members. Here are a few things we have.

Avanti carb tag# 3507S. I think this may be for a 63 supercharged model. Is this correct?

2 other carter carbs. Not sure of the usage. Tag 32665. One has no tag and a body number stamped E7 2448S (not positive of the 7).

Glass headlight cover for LH 1350399 (63?)

Chrome headlight bezels RH 135798 (64?)

Chrome headlight bezel LH 135799 (64?)

Steering wheel in good shape pictured also. Not sure of year. Assume its early as it says Studebaker Avanti on it.

If these parts fit a different year than listed, please let me know.

There is about 100 lbs of literature. Mostly old Avanti and Studebaker owner news letters (Southern California, Texas, Erie, Chicago, Detroit). Some restoration books, parts books, brochures and a factory order package.

We have lot of misc stuff like brake parts, shock absorbers, nuts bolts, shims, etc. I really don't want to sell this stuff with the 84 because most of it fits the 60's vintage cars.

Any advice on the best way to sell this stuff would be appreciated.

Feel free to email me directly at adam.matlock@icta-us.com

Thanks!
