True for the roof panels but not sure about the hood. I will guess at true for both.
i did think they were more a surprise from the workers rather than something he ordered.

I should go to the shed and have a look but I will guess instead.

True
You can make it work .

I thought they all had the same thread.
I heard some differentials had left and right threads as the wheel nuts would loosen on one side but I don't think that applies to anything supplied on the Avanti.

I often wondered if you could retro fit the steel bumpers. Is it a simple case of unbolting one and bolting on the other ?
I'm surprised it didn't happen more often.

False

I would have thought there might be a variation in the air cleaner but they would interchange.

No Studegary it looks like I got myself and the years mixed up.
What is the difference in the later wheel cylinder ie after 1971.
pb

I notice that there are always 2 wheel cylinders quoted for the early ( Stude/ Avanti ll) Avantis.
I assume there is a difference to them other than price .
What is the difference ?
I'm thinking that the change of wheel cylinder may coincide with the installation of the dual master cylinder.
If that is the case when I convert my 63 over to a dual master set up should I use the later wheel cylinder ?
Thanks

Maybe they were a different length due to the different motors used.

I would have thought you could do both but if you are removing the dash then that would be the easiest time to change over the panel.

You can buy the replacement rubber but you can also buy the complete unit ie the metal part as well.
Take the sample to your local parts store to find a match.

If you are talking about the Rubber steering coupler then you could go to a parts store for a replacement.
I would have thought they are reasonably generic and a Ford or GM one could be used as a replacement . If not I have seen them on Ebay.
Also try Bob Johnston's Avanti page , there maybe a replacement number you could use on that site.

Interior a/c parts could be sourced from a retired Avanti 2. You would need to acquire or manufacture a compressor bracket to suit Stude motor.
Personally I would use a Sanden compressor rather than the York .

"Delivered" might be the interesting point.
Was it the last customer delivered car ?
Anyway I'm not sure if that would be more important than the fact that Andy owned it.

Thanks for all your replies so far.
I thought I would pay ohmage to the father of the Avanti by having his name on my licence plates ie "S Egbert".
My preferred option was "Sherwood" but I remember seeing a P1800 years ago that had that plate so it's not available.
I don't mind "Egbert" but thought there might be something less formal out there like a nickname .
Keep them coming .

I was wondering if Sherwood Egbert had a nickname or a name he liked to be referred as.
I'm sure I read somewhere that was the case but can't find anything .
Thanks for your help

R2/3 used a different fuel pump than the non supercharged cars.
There is a fitting on the side of the fuel pump for a separate fuel/pressure line to the supercharger.
Like what MFG said
-
I thought he owned a Stude Avanti and an Avanti II.
I will say false with no real conviction.
-
I would strongly suggest not buying either. Once you have one you will want more and more and more and the problem won't be which one should I get but which one will I get next.
Just kidding
If you know the history of the car then 66 is the way to go.

Air cleaner out the front or wasn't there water injection or something in one of the front wheel wells.
