Sorry, not 5!

The reason I asked timeline is You could be inferring the 2001-07 models.

Thus the AVX numbers.

Gotcha.

My '02' is a Studebaker by Avanti.   Not much difference, eh?

I went with info posted in Avanti magazine issue 205… An authenticity advisor indicated there are four surviving ‘EX’ cars….

You have listed five along with current owners/locations….

Based on your info, it seems your prior answer of “At least FIVE” is correct!… (Thanks)

The list of 10 EX Avantis compiled by John Hull does not include EX2143. (63R-1006 The Terrible Turkey)

EX2143 is the serial number of an engine listed on the roster of Studebaker & Avanti R3/R4/R5 powered cars.

 This information ’apparently’ indicates that the count of surviving ‘EX’ Studebaker Avanti’s is four, as posted in Avanti Magazine issue # 205.
