R-2289

This Avanti was built as an R1 car in December '62 and was upgraded to R2 several years ago when the ground-up restoration was done. The engine was completely rebuilt to R2 specifications with an R3 air box. It has power steering, power brakes, tinted windows and an AM radio. This show-condition car is Avanti red with fawn interior.

The vehicle is in remarkably good shape for it.s age but it has been "Blaked" at some point in it.s past. The original R1/R2? is no longer there being supplanted by a Chevy SB and Turbo 400 tranny. The interior is that of an eighties Avanti(verrry nice w/Leather Recaro.s!). However on day two the problems started poking their ugly little heads out.......first the oil pressure gauge goes dead and then the water temp gauge goes erratic. Looking like grounding problems. A quick check under the dash also exposed a anti-theft system of some unknown type/age.

Another From Indiana, June 2007

R1 R-2381

The car was originally sold new in Florida at some point someone was trailering it and had strapped it down using the front sway bar. The sway bar pulled off and when the car fell off the the trailer it ripped most of the front end off. Some time after that, I believe the early 80's, the car was either in a restoration shop or was being restored by the owner at the time. The car was stripped down and a N.O.S. front end was found, however the couple that owned the car got a divorce and sold the car to Weldon Critcher in Boone, NC. I bought the car from him in 2004 and have been working on it slowly since. I put the N.O.S. front end on the car.(upd. Mar 2007)
