Two,

The normal one and the Hurst shifter?

You are close....but that really isn't the answer!

Any other thoughts? 🤔

I don't believe the Hurst shifter was available until after Avanti Motors began production of the Avanti II.  While I'm not sure I think Avanti Motors wanted the Hurst option and Hurst complied.  Maybe Hurst had the idea and asked Avanti Motors if they were interested...the answer is probably lost.

Yes..no Hurst from Studebaker!

Perhaps the close-ratio and wide-ratio 4 speeds used different shift levers.

Good thought, but the different ratio T-10's took same lever....

Any other thoughts on this trivia question?

Don't know if this is what you are looking for, but for engines after number R1220 and RS1259, there was a second type introduced. The second type had some bushings and a sleeve. I assume it was to solve the rattle issue.

Yes..that's exactly correct! 🙂

Not sure about fat & skinny, but 64studeavanti 'nailed' it!
