I thought I’d share some pictures of my 1964 Avanti R1. 50K miles. All original except I replaced the carpet.

Dwight, It is Avanti Grey with Claret Red Interior. Do you have pictures of your 64 Avanti? I really like the color combination and I understand there were only 21 built with this combination.4 Photos1963 Studebaker GT Hawk R1 63V-33867

I don't have any pix suitable for showing. Mine (R5407) and the other one around here (R5527) both are their original colors and interiors. Mine came as an R1, 4-spd, PS, TT, PB AM radio, WS washer, sun bands, front seat belts, and WW nylon 500 tires.
The other one, R5527, is a highly optioned R1, AT, AC, with about all the options available in 1964.
In my observation Gray is one of the rarer Avanti colors, along with black, and the Claret is a '64-only interior color, so that narrows down the number of Gray/Claret Avantis considerably. It is a perfectly natural and pretty combination--just ask any woman with a sense of style (which would be just about all of them).

Yeah, it’s the original. Can the compressors not be rebuilt at the point they fail to keep originality? I picked up a bunch of R12 and keep it on hand, but am getting low.1963 Studebaker GT Hawk R1 63V-33867

I took the 64 out for a little 15 mile ride today. You can see the smoke coming off of the left rear brake. Beautiful weather! Afterwords I put it back up on the rack to make a minor adjustment to the rear brakes. Another ride tomorrow in preparation for a Saturday car show.1963 Studebaker GT Hawk R1 63V-33867
