Some early Avantis had paint problems and were repainted.

What model year did Avanti Motors depart from using a continuous run of Serial Numbers that started with -0001 in 1965?
1970 model year started with RQA-0315.
1969 model year ended with RQA-0313.

In Nov.,1962 Avanti Gray became available as a standard color.
Avanti Black was only discontinued as a standard color and was available only on a special order basis.
Dealers were advised of production delays when ordering black.
Any orders for black before Feb.1,1963 were built at no extra charge and $35.50 for orders after that date.
Gray continued till the end of production.

Lew,
For 1963 models exterior color helped to determine carpet color. Not all Fawn/Elk interiors came with black carpet.
Avanti White with the Fawn/Elk interior came with Fawn and Black carpet.

Exterior color determined carpet color. Avanti Red with the Fawn/Elk interior would have come from the factory with black carpet.

This is the fitting that needs to be removed.

You need to remove the elbow from the bottom of the tank to remove it.

I am trying to piece together my cars history and found a really poor photo of it in the digital copy of this issue. I would like to get an original of this issue if anyone out there has one and would like to sell it or even donate it to my cause... Thanks
Are you sure of the month and year? I have Summer 1986 ( #58 ) and Winter 1986 ( #59). If I have what you need I can send it to you.

In '63, Studebaker recommended changing supercharger lubricant every.....1) 10K.......2) 12K......3) 20K..... 4) 25K....or......5) Never.........?
None of the above. Every 15,000 miles, same as the automatic transmission.

Just some more information for those who may be interested in the production figures for the 1983 and 1984 Avantis.
The starting serial numbers and production numbers are from John Hull's book, Avanti The Complete Story.
Model year 1983 3590 - 3776 187
20th Anniversary 3801 - 3825 25
Total 212
The cars listed on Bob Johnstones web site start at 3592 and end with 3776. Also the 20th Anniversary models 3802 and the last 3825.
Model year 1984 3850 - 4114 265
There are 130 cars listed starting with the first 3850 and ending with the last 4114.
Quote from John's book: " I believe it to be the most accurate projections ever compiled on actual production data."
The info on Bob's website seems to confirm this.
-
As I explained in my previous post there were more than SEVEN.
-
Bob, I really don't understand your point,... The fact is 1983 was the highest 'production year' for post Studebaker Avantis, and, through 1991,....'91 was the lowest......There's no use in trying to re-create history Bob,....but 'be my guest' if you feel like trying!!
The point is that 1984 (265) is the highest production year and not 1983 (212). If you check the serial numbers from John Hull's book with the cars on Bob's web site you will see this is fact.
The serial numbers for the 1991 start at 1201 and end at 1217. You say only seven were built, yet there are 11 on Bob's site with the
highest being 1213.
Do you have evidence to prove otherwise?
Unless you do I have to believe that John Hull's figures are accurate.
-
Well, you can start with Bob Johnstones Avanti Registry if you'd like....And by the way, there's NO WAY 17 Avanti's were produced in 1991!..........7 would be more like it!
That only confirms the production numbers that John Hull gives are accurate.
-
One lens is plain and the other has chrome edges like the originals.
-
As 1986 is considered a non-production year for the Avanti,.....The CORRECT answer to Gary's original question would be.....Lowest...1991......Highest...1983.
PS---Sorry guys, but we may as well get it right!)
Can you prove you are correct?
In John Hull's book he shows the 1984 Avanti production at 265 and 1983 production at 212. Do you have anything to prove him wrong?
I would think his figures would be accurate.
1991 is the the lowest at 17.

False. They are both 2 inch because the muffler has no specific inlet or outlet.

I have owned my 1963 Avanti (29,000 actual miles) since May, 1965.

Get off my lawn, Regnalbob..http://www.studebaker-info.org/AVDB1/R4000/the1964avanti.html....."Accessory" then. (5).
(5) is not an option or Accessory number. Just like (1), (2), (3), (4), and (6) are not option or Accessory numbers. Read it again and see if you can figure it out.
-
I've never seen anything to indicate otherwise. They were listed as Option (5) for the 1964's
I believe they were first used by the Grannatellis at Bonneville?
So, TRUE.
False. Halibrand wheels were not installed at the factory. They were dealer installed and (5) is not an option number.
