Supercharged2004 Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Hi aardvark - I was the one asking how many supercharger variants were made can’t seem to find an answer. I have seen photos of others with the supercharger badge - but they were all yellow. But without a vin # I am unsure if they are early photos of mine . Mine had been customized with earlier Avanti front marker lights added later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark Posted August 10 Author Report Share Posted August 10 Hey Super. Well the problem seems to be the lack of proper documentation from the Factories and those who ran the show.... You would never see that with other Mfgr's... to me it is outright bad bookkeeping and sad. I own a Porsche and other Collectibles and there isn't anything i cannot find out about those specific vehicles and their Production stuff/ Only a few are left and in the know.. John Hull who wrote ''Avanti the complete story'' did a good job on His bBook, but it is lacking a lot of info on Our Cars. He has a LOT of documentation from Factory and Office records,... but He is getting up there in years, and i fear His Records may never hit the Avanti Public. I had a issue just trying to figure out how many Avanti's (sorry Studies) were made in my year. His book only said over a 4 year period (01-04) 53 were made...No breakdown per year..'''FinallyI '''I did hear back from John and He sent me an e-. It stated there were 14 made in 2001, and 33 made in 2002. There is NO Doc's on the Options that I know of. If You get further info on ANYTHING as You go forward, I'll go out on a limb here and give You my e-mail.... LakeDesign.Dan@mac.com .. Just state in the title who You are. We are in Western NC in the Blue Ridge /Smokies / Appalacians. Twisty Roads Abound!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago I have a classing system I've placed a little bit of time thinking about: Studebaker Avanti for model year '63 & '64 Avanti II (or AV2) for Newman & Altman AV3 for Blake AV4 for Kelly & Cafaro AVX for all which the AVX was the prototype / proof of concept The Kelly & Cafaro years could break into more divisions: AV4.1 early coupes & convertibles | AV4.2 LSC | AV4.3 sedans | AV4.4 post-sedan coupes & convertibles I suppose that means AVX could split AVX.1 for Firebird and AVX.2 for Mustang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
