the guy I got this from wanted an auto trans in his '72 Avanti. this transmission and bell housing are now in France going into another Avanti II that had an auto transmission. I was going to use this in my '63 Avanti, but went with a Tremec TKO500

Here is the picture of the T10 that came out of a 1972 Avanti

I have one from a 1972 Avanti and the color looks like it is Chevy orange, same as the engine.

Check with Brad Bez. He has done this on several cars.

Here is what happened to the SDC Forum: Let your members know that the Forum is back. Here's what happened. Yesterday, 06:33 AM Well, it’s been a heckuva weekend. Here’s what happened: On Tuesday, December 16, we received a notice that our hosting provider needed to make an emergency migration of our Forum to a new webserver. No reason was given, but these things happen - equipment failures and such. They put us on the new server on Wednesday and all seemed well. Then, on Thursday, December 18, the Forum was attacked with a Denial of Service attack, in which hundreds of zombie computers open connections to a web server all at once and then don’t close them, trying to bring down the server by overwhelming it. To protect the server, our webhost suspended our account (that was the “Account Suspended” notice you saw online). For the last 5 days, Cornerstone and I have been working with our webhost to restore service and protect our site from more bad actors. Late Monday, December 22, the Forum was turned back on. Going forward, we’re going to be taking more steps to enhance security and likely examine our hosting options. I hope this doesn’t happen again but the online world is more like the Wild West every day. Thank you all for bearing with us while we got this taken care of. Clark

Wow, I am really underpaid. In addition to publishing Avanti Magazine, I administer our AOAI website and forum gratis… as an IT professional I should be getting $120,000 from the AOAI at minimum. 😎😎😳😳

From Avanti Magazine Fall/Winter 2025. RIP Jim Lange and Ted Harbit.

We've been selling quite a few 2026 calendars in recent days.... get yours before they're gone. https://aoai.org/shop/2026-avanti-calendar/

and another recent post with JPEG/JPG images in a different forum post here:

I see them... here is a post from March with a couple JPEG/JPG image:

There are still a few slots open to get your Avanti in our next calendar for next year. If you have a well composed, high resolution image of your Avanti, please email it to me, along a smaller image from the interior or underhood, as well as a brief history of the car. editor@aoai.org

Stefan, did the file work for the company that is making the car cover? Let me know how it turns out and maybe we can get a good price if others want the cover.

Stefan. I just emailed you the original Avanti logo as a vector file. Sent to your email: stefan.bergsmann@chello.at One file is an EPS file and the other as a Vector .ai file (Adobe Illustrator) or similar app. Here is a screenshot of the logo (for illustration only, as this screenshot is lower resolution

From: Roze Hanks <rozeh@hendersonauctions.com> : Hi there... First... I've been a Raymond Loewy/Avanti fan since my teenage years (several centuries ago) and LOVE this site! Looking forward to checking out all of it. Second... I work for a company (Henderson Auctions) out of Livingston, La. and we are auctioning a 1963 Avanti R2 with under 80,000 original miles, this coming Saturday, May 3rd. I would like to pass on the info to your members if that is OK, and wanted to send through you "just in case." I saw this specific R2 the very first day I started my current job almost 2.5 years ago... took that as a "sign from God" i was with a great company! This one has been very well maintained. If/when we have another one (or more) in the future I will forward to you first as it would be terrific to "keep these in the family" of Avanti owners who genuinely appreciate these amazing classics! So... here is the auction link (there is no reserve) https://bid.hendersonauctions.com/ui/auctions/123679/19386944 The live / online auction is being held at Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in case anyone is in the area this weekend for the Indy Race. I sure hope to be an Avanti owner one day. COOLEST CAR EVER!!! Thank you and have a blessed day!

This is NO LONGER listed on Craigslist.

I never heard about Studebaker Restoration, Ltd. in Long Beach, California. It popped up on a Google video today. I don't believe I've seen anything or any ad or comment in the SDC or AOAI magazines. Is the owner an SDC or AOAI member? Their website is: https://www.studebakerrestorationltd.com

@Zedman @64studeavanti I changed the group posting settings to allow more space (mb are now doubled) so you can post more images with your postings. I also made it possible to delete old image in your own account. When you're logged into the forum, to Account - > My Attachments. You can then delete old attachments that you save, but remember that any forum message/post will then not show those images. So just use this for something that is really old and you don't want or need the posting to stay online. Hope this helps everyone! Lew

I have hear that Trim Black (a flat black) is standard for the spare tire well and areas not covered by carpet. So for early cars, just the spare tire well is painted in Trim Black.

I checked and your allowance for attachments is not at the limit. Currently shows 91.66 MB of 146.48 MB allowance. But I am looking in our settings to at least increase the limit of files stored under your account, or others at or near the limit. May be a day or two before I can check this out, but will let you all know here. Lew
