Avanti II Handbooks?

[theGman]

On occasion I hear talk of Avanti II handbooks, which came new with the cars and explained things like what the random switches do, what the various dash lights are for, etc.

Have these ever existed? What exactly did the new owners get for deciphering these things? Anything? Nothing?

I have never seen one, anywhere.

Do they exist? Has anyone ever had a handbook sighting?

Thanks,

Paul

Yes they do exsist. I have one and it's pretty slim! It's for an 83-84.

I scanned my '87 Avanti manual and Bob Johnstone placed it on his site.

Studebaker International sells a reprint of an early '70s owners manual. It's good for '71 through maybe mid- to late-'70s cars. I've never seen or heard of a manual for Avanti II's earlier than that.

Thanks for the info; hopefully someone will have one circa my '81 era for copying.

Thanks for the scanned copy info; I'm going to read it when I have more time to see what I can learn about the cars.

I have a few very good used owners manuels for 1987 1988 1989 Avanti cars for sale. Not sure if these were used for other years

I would be interested purchasing one of these manuals. Actually my Avanti is a 1984, but if you do not have a manual for it, I would be interested in one of the later issues.
