  1. Well,my lovely wife "green lighted" me on the purchase of an Avanti. I have looked at as many as possible with my search focused on 1963 R-1s. This is a 1963 R-1 289,AT,noAC and manual windows. The manual windows are a plus IMO. I will possibly add A/C at some point in the future. The car is really solid. It needs little in the way of mechanicals to get it on the road and cosmetically is needs some interior work and it will need paint. I will repaint it turquoise. I didn't much care for it at first but now I've grown to like it alot,esp after SWMBO said she likes it.

    As this is my first Studebaker and first Avanti I would certainly appreciate any suggestions or advise any of you might have.

    I will try to post some pictures in a follow up message.

  2. Sorry to hear about your problem. If all else fails,PM me and I'll make copies from the repair manuals I have and snail mail them to you. I do believe these are GM columns. AMC used GM columns in some of their cars along this time. Although it doesn't sound like a worn key is the problem it may be something to check into before going any farther. RD Maxon
