Two Avanties are going to sold at RM's fall Auburn event. One is the Roger Ward prize car from the 62 Indianapolis 500 and the other is an real R3 it is the next to last Avanti built and I think the last one sold to the public. I know both cars and would say they are 2+ or better. I hope they do well.

I used a thermostat mercury bulb that was small enough to slip down inside the harness so it can't be seen and left the original in place. From the outside looks original but works.

Great job Lew, we're lucky to have such a good magazine for the club.

R-5643 would be the most significant for me I think. It marked the end of an era. At the time the oldest US transportation company ceased domestic production and yet the product lived on for a couple more decades and is still an Icon.

The switch isn't working and wondered if there was a fix. I have basic skills but was not sure how it came apart.

Can an original mercury switch be repaired? The replacement in SI's catalog doesn't look like the original and though it may work I suspect I would gigged for it in authenticity judging.
