dynolou2 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 What year after 1974 was a manual transmission offered for the Avanti? For bonus points how many cars were so equipped? Super bonus points what was the cost of this option? Lou Cote
mfg Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 I'd guess the answer to the first part of your question to be 1983?
Geoff Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 There was one 1983, a prototype for the 20th anniversary that had a manual transmission, but one is seldom enough to count. 1984 had more than one manual, I don't know exactly how many.
dynolou2 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Posted October 7, 2015 The 20 th anniversary car formerly owned by northwesterner Steve Hudson, according to him was returned to Avanti Motors to be converted from automatic to the T 5 transmission. That car now resides in Georgia. I saw it at the 2012 national in South Bend.
dynolou2 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Posted October 9, 2015 It was 1985, any one want a try at the bonus questions? John Hull's books and Turning Wheels issues March 1996,April 1996 ,and July 1996, will aid your research. Lou Cote educate,and illuminate the public on post Studebaker Avanti's
