I will say TRUE since Sales Letter 161 dated 6/10/63 states that the "...R3...engine and the performance package...includes...Transistorized ignition system..."

murph the surf Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Always thought there were only 9 production R3's ,so,on a technicality,I'll call it false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63R1388 Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 MFG didn't specify Avantis when he said production R3's. I read the question as Studebaker R3's in general. Didn't they put a R3 in a Lark too? I say false on the transistor ignition... Without technicality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
