3) Three

EDIT:   I just noticed that you used 3) for two different answers.   I mean three different codes as my answer.

Thanks Gary,.....I just corrected that boo-boo!

Unfortunately, your answer is incorrect..............Be that as it may, I want to wish you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!

Anyone else have any thoughts on this one?

Thank you and then four would be what I think. 

I am surprised that someone didn't just look it up.  I was going by what was logical to me.

Sorry, four codes is incorrect.

Then it must be two.

Is that a distinction between engines (R1/R2) or transmission (AT/Std.)?

I tried to base my answer on the way Studebaker had codes for other cars (than the Avanti).

I hate to be 'The Grinch', but I've got tell you your last answer (two) is also incorrect!

This, of course, leaves FIVE as the CORRECT answer!

I'd be happy to list them later today if anyone should be interested!.........MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

For five, I will guess that it is a combination of the two distinctions that I last gave.  It is the three transmission choices in an R1 plus the two transmission choices in an R2.

I don't know about that Gary.....It would appear that the codes coincide with serial number breaks more than anything else.  (Here are the five Avanti codes)..........

Serial 1001---1285.....Code 63RQ

Serial 1286--2723.....Code 63RQ3270

Serial 2724--3916.....Code 63RQ3370

serial 3917--4891.....Code RQ3370

Serial 4892--5643.....Code RQ4370

Consider the above serial number breaks 'approximate'!

AhHa!  These are different codes than I was thinking of.  I thought that you were referring to the code words used for Western Union "shorthand".
