64 order form

[Mark63Avanti]

In the 64 Avanti order form it lists an auxiliary electric fuel pump as an option for R3 and R4 engines. Any idea who made the fuel pump that's listed?

That picture didn't turn out too well. It's page G-250 of the Studebaker Avanti Authenticity Manual.

I’ve never heard of that option… and I  definitely question it.

Additional info would be nice about this.

I wish I had more to add. Again, this is page G-250 of the Studebaker Avanti Authenticity Manual under "64 Dealer Order Guide for Avanti". I have a 63 Avanti and I have put blinders on to anything other than that. It's kept me plenty occupied. I have a copy of the 63 order form and it's prior to R3 so it's not listed. It was only when I compared 63 & 64 order guides that I picked up an electric pump being offered as an option. Perhaps that was more forward thinking from Studebaker that they couldn't deliver on? Does anyone have a 64 order guide to look at?

If nothing else it’s very interesting information!

Anyone else out there hear of this ‘64 electric fuel pump option?

There must be a connection with Andy Granatelli/Paxton. Did they keep documentation separate from Studebaker and if so do any records survive? Price lists when they were selling R3 engines in various forms?
