April 2008
 I have a friend that has purchased a 1963 R1 (VIN 63R2568) 
originally from Colorado and now in the San Diego area. The front 
end is damaged and he wants a complete front-end clip (minus the 
hood, which is okay). He also needs the radiator scroud. He knows he 
can get the individual pieces, but wants to see if he can get the 
complete front (he owned a restoration shop and can do the work 
himself). If he can't find a complete front end, he may elect to 
part out the car. It is complete, R1 w/o A/C, A/T, P/S and is 
currently primered. Hogs are good, along a good rear cross-member; 
the doors open and shut with no problem. There is some rust thru on 
the rear bottom frame rails/caps towards the traction bar area, but 
that is the only rust (the car is on a transport trailer, so I got a 
good look at the underside). I really hate to see it go to parts,

It is a '63 R1, with P/S, A/T, power windows without A/C. The new owner 
is Rudy Phillips and I will have him forward his information to you directly.
 I didn't find this Avanti in the 2007 Registry. The Avanti has inspection 
stickers from Colorado, although I did not see a year when these inspection 
were done. I did see an AOAI sticker on the rear window (very faded and 
looked to be pretty old).

Hope that helps; Rudy may elect to build the car if he can find a complete 
front-end (without the hood). If not, the car may be parted out or sold as
 a "Project Car".
