Avanti Engine Paint Colors & Sources

[Adamsavanti]

Well, somewhere in one of my books, magazines, documents or internet bookmarks there is a listing of correct engine paint colors and sources for the 1963-4 289 Avanti engine. Please tell me where I have put them or supply them please! Right now I especially need the current source of orange fan color. Thanks!

If I remember right, the blocks are...

R1- Black
R2- Black
R3- Red
R4- Blue

If that's not right, someone will correct me.

Of course, if you're looking for more than that, maybe someone else will chime in.

SI and other Studebaker vendors carry the correct red/orange color in rattle cans for the fan, oil dip stick top, etc.
