Granatelli R3 motor installed in it. We do not have the original build sheet to this
car but we were able to have Tom list the modifications and known attributes to the
car to date prior to his passing. We do have the R3 Crate Motor invoices and
an original photo of the Avanti when it was purchased in Riverside, California in 1967.
Serial No: R5319
R3 Engine Block Number: B-94 (The R3 cylinder block serial number starts with a "B" in place of a "R" or "RS")
There were only 120 of the Andy Granatelli motors
in circulation (apart from the original 9 R3 vehicles). The owners of these motors
are registered with Studebaker-info.org. The B-94 motor is registered
under Thomas and Elsie Schwartz. This particular Avanti does not have the optional
supercharger on the R3. It has an air conditioner.

Production order for R5365 is dated 8/21/63 It was ordered as an R2 and sent to engineering where they cobbled in air conditioning, putting the compressor in the power steering pump space and reversing the hardware in the cabin. It was delivered to Filmways in southern California and not licensed for the street until the fall of 1964. I presume this car was used on the Mr. Ed show or in commercials. Its VIN tag sports the number R5365B.
