Although '63 Avanti RQ-1025 (The R3 prototype HRM test car) left Studebaker with a Powershift transmission, the Granatellis retrofitted a Borg Warner T-10 four speed.....True?

Okay, it's been long enough. False, 1025 has always been an automatic.

From that article-

"All told, we spent time behind the wheels of three Avantis while gathering information for this report. Our first car was a production R2 with optional four-speed transmission. Next was a Studebaker Engineering prototype R3 with automatic transmission. The last car, and the one which we put the most mileage on (over 1000 miles) was a late production R2 with automatic."
