When mine is done it will sorta be a twin to your's,except for the 4speed.

I'd take the 4 speed in a heartbeat. It would make it a completely different car. The auto (especially with the second gear start) is a little too "lazy" for me. It makes it more of a "personal luxury car" () instead of a sporty car ().

Let me know if you want to trade

The four speeds are so much more fun in them and I know what you mean, my Avanti has alot of little thing which need fixing, but I just love driving it so much im always putting it off haha

I never let that stop ME.

I did actually touch it today. Maybe that will inspire me to do some work on it (but got to get the water pump on the GT first).

I like the Powershift in my '64 R-1 Avanti, but I'm lucky enough to have a four-speed R-2 GT Hawk for my high performance fix.

Now having said that, no question an Avanti is a much better driving and handling car than a GT. Easily the most modern of any Studebaker...Russ Farris
