1964 R4 Daytona Hardtop

[SN-60]

What would this forum do without you leading the ideas of it's members SN-60? Are there any other things we should do to our cars? I would like you to remove the wire wheels from your car and put stock wheels and hub caps back on since Avanti's did not leave the factory with wire wheels like yours. If you are unwilling to change to stock wheels you should put a label on your wheels that says, "STUDEBAKER AVANTI'S DID NOT COME WITH THESE WHEELS ORIGINALLY". That way nobody will be confused by yours.

Now THAT'S FUNNY!!!..............and GO BOSTON BRUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And how about the Paxton prepared '64 Daytona 'R4' Convertible......Does anyone know if that car (or it's engine) still exists? I believe this car had a rollbar in it that was installed by the Granatellis.

This vehicle is a good example why R3-R4 historical information needs to be 'nailed down' NOW in an accurate as possible fashion. No one seems to really know if this Studebaker exists or not! And what of the engine? Will parts from it end up on a standard Avanti V8 that someone will assume is an R4? LET'S DO THE RIGHT THING HERE, AND I.D. PLATE ALL FUTURE 'TRIBUTE' ENGINES!!!!
