I feel bad about thinking you’re whacked, when It’s become pretty obvious you’re having trouble understanding questions… probably the onset of dementia.
That all you have is insults.

According to Dan Booth in the Avanti Magazine Issue 207, page 32 its 1969 Avanti RQA-0637.
Does that quote work for you?

QUOTE…..The replacement manual antenna, AC3330R, $25, sticks up about 2” above the top of the quarter panel and can be extended out to 16 1/2” length like the original AC3330…..
This quote is from Dan Booth’s recent antenna article in Avanti Magazine # 207.
regnalbob…. As you seem to enjoy correcting people, perhaps you should take up this question with Mr. Booth?
Dan Booth provided the correct information. He didn't ask the question, you did.
The best part is that you don't even understand your own question.

Now you are left grasping at straws.

When fully extended, an original Stude Avanti antenna mast extends to approx …..?…… inches.
1) 14 3/4…..2) 15 1/2…..3) 16 1/2…. or…..4) 17 1/4
5 hours ago, mfg said:The info I posted on Stude Avanti extended antenna length came from an article by Dan Booth at Nostalgic Avanti…..
I do not have an original antenna on my own ‘63, so I can’t take an accurate measurement….. and
According to Dan’s article, answer # 3 would be the correct answer.
From the article Dan Booth states, "the antenna measures 16.5 inches above the rear quarter panel."
That is the retracted length and not the fully extended length in the question.
I have a factory installed antenna and it is 16.5 inches retracted and total length of the mast fully extended is 50.5 inches.
My original answer to the question remains the same, none of the above.

Could be the ground wires for the rear seat speaker.

According to Lou Cote, who along with Al Basile co-wrote the Avanti Authenticity Guide and Addendum, pegs the number of five speed manual 1985 Avantis at SIX…His 1985 Avanti, RQB 4240, is one of them!
The fact he co-wrote the Guide has no bearing on the question since it only covers 63-64 Avantis.
What makes you think Lou Cote is correct at six and Dave Kinney is incorrect at seven?
At the time the article was written Dave Kinney owned RQB 4202 with a factory 5- speed.

This is from an article about the 1985 Avantis by Fred Fox in the July, 1996 issue of Turning Wheels.
"According to David Kinney, personal friend of Stephan Blake, only seven Avantis were fitted with factory 5- speed transmissions."

Avanti Black started in June, 1962.
63R-1013 is the first Black Avanti.
147 Black Avantis, 115 63s and 32 64s.
In November, 1962 Avanti Gray replaced Avanti Black as a standard color and Black was furnished only on a special order basis.
After February 1, 1963 there was a $35.50 extra charge for Avanti Black.

Hi Ed,
I would like to ask you a question concerning a Speedster I am considering to buy. Sorry to jump in here in this discussion, I tried to send a direct message but that did not work. Would it be possible that you check if the car is in your lists and give me some info on it if it is? - also via personal message or e-mail (stefan.bergsmann@chello.at), whatever is best for you. The VIN is 7165903, Body No. 6H K7 1507 and Engine No. P 16935. As far as I know the car was owned by a Mr. Gene Upstill before it was sold to Europe ~2017.It would really be great if you could help me on that. As I am new in the Stude realm and am located in Europe, it is not so easy for me to find the right info and sources.
Again apologies for jumping in and also for bringing this up here in the AOAI - I simply did not know how to contact you on a different way.
Thank you & best wishes from Vienna,
Stefan

Does anyone else have photos they posted that are now missing since the Forum returned?
I have 75 photos from Aug. 2021 to date that are no longer available.
Items before that date are still available.

Reg...
So according to John Hulls book, Studie made 1390#'s in '63' and 3257#'s in '64'..
The production numbers you quote are for calendar years 1962 & 1963 not model years 1963 & 1964 and the total of 4647 is incorrect.
There were 4643 production Avantis built.
1963 3834
1964 809

Mfg..
It is amazing from all the Car Shows I was involved in as a Youth, and all the Car restorations I did as well as those I hung with.. but I speak truth. I heard they were making Avanti's in Canada. I didn't know that was basically false. No clue of the AVX's and their History. The only thing I knew about the Studie Company is my Dad drove a Commander but i was age 5ish....My Dad was a Hi Level Ford Exec. I was artistic (still am) and He would take me to work and into the Design Studios.. The Mustang was in clay modeling, thus my love went to them...Owned 4 of em over the years.
But the Avanti's? I'm again WOWED !!
Here is an Avanti at Ford.

Both R5408, 4spd with A/C, and R5423, Auto with A/C, have the cooling kit that ducts air from the cowl vents to the transmission tunnel installed.
Of course, both could have been modified after production.
It looks like all Avantis starting with R-4892 had the cooling kit installed at the factory.
The parts catalog shows all the parts listed were used for all models.
The cover over the automatic gear selector started in production after 5400 units.
The cover is included in the kit.
It's interesting the kit only applies to cars without air.

Do later Avantis have the Studebaker transmission cooling fix? In a service bulletin, Studebaker specified a kit that was installed where cool air from the cowl vents was ducted to the transmission.
The Service Letter is dated 12/5/63. Console cooling kit - Avanti models without air conditioning.
Quote:
"Current production Avanti models, identified by square headlights, are equipped with a cooling device for the console, transmission tunnel, and shift control lever."
This may indicate that all Avantis without air conditioning (R1 & R2) starting at R-4892 had the cooling device installed at the factory.
The cooling kit described in the service letter is for Avantis with both automatic and standard shift transmissions.
