paul shuffleburg Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 I noticed that in 63 there was one Avanti painted SPECIAL. Does anyone know what it was painted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what it was painted? I sure don't...but I hope someone out there has the answer! I do remember a black & white factory photo of a '63 Avanti painted a dark color, with two white racing stripes painted over the trunk, roof, and nose of the car....It was destined for the 1963 Speedweeks Rally in Nassau, Bahamas....I believe a similarly painted Lark Wagonaire was also sent there by Studebaker.

8E45E Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) I thought it was the '1964' prototype car with the thicker seats (and Claret interior?), which was painted Avanti Maroon, and eventually assigned P6436 as a production paint code.

Craig Not to sidetrack, but a friend of mine, George Vassos, has a white '64 Avanti with the solid "claret/with woodgrain" interior...might be the nicest Stude Avanti combo there was!

Leo B Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) Research by George Krem: 1963 Exterior Color: 1 Special is R2/4speed. 1963 Interior Color: 2 Specials are R2, one auto and one 4speed. Might be that this Special Exterior color one had also special color interior. + there was also one R2/Auto with special interior color.
