While the engine is cranking that green wire delivers full battery voltage to the coil to boost voltage. The normal coil voltage is stepped down through a resistor so the points and coil last longer.

R5642 was in Maryland but sold in 2019 I think at RM's fall Auburn Sale for $104,000. Here is the link.

They are Radials designed to look like bias ply. Perhaps I said it inartfully but what I was trying to let you know that my Avanti drives great on the regular bias tires and there is very little improvement with the radial tire. The Avanti drive and handles very well with the bias plys better than any old car I have ever owned.
-
I should note that my Avanti drives just as well with the Bias as the radials. better than any old car I have ever owned.

Thanks, American Classic 6.70-R15.

I like the WW with the hub caps but with the Halibrand Wheels I like the black walls. When I am show in AACA I use the ww bias and with the Halibrands I have bias look radials which I think looks better on my Avanti grey car,

Engine number RSH 37 on R4999 on BAT what does that indicate? I thought all were RS-XXXX .
-
I think this is the one I used although I think I ordered it from Rock Auto.
-
That is very much what I wanted and i am sure will do the trick. Thank you.
-
Does anyone know if there was a service letter or any brochure that showed the Halibrand Mag Wheels as a dealer installed option. I am going to sow at an AACA event and they are bound to question the Halibrand wheels.

How much and where are you located?

Are you looking for the element and gasket or the complete filter housing?

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.
-
I'll say false. In the service manual there is no mention of this and the picture shows both positive and negative terminal to the up side equelly.
-
I think RM made it clear this was not a production car or a prototype so I can't imagine what they were thinking.
-
I was somewhat shocked to see the R2 sold at RM's Fort Lauderdale sale bring the money it did, $104,500.00 with the fee. It was a custom done by someone who installed a Targa Top on R-2833 "in the style of Raymond Loewy". It also had an aftermarket AC unit added where the surge tank would usually be though the interior work looks factory. Though the car look OK from a fast horse I think it is far from perfect, no pictures from underneath at all. I would have guessed this car to go for a lot less but it goes to show you never know with auctions.

The left (p/n1558122) and right (p/n 1558123) intake manifold gaskets are different on the Supercharged engine where they are the same on the non supercharged. I think the exhaust are the same.
64 r-2 value
in 1963-64 Avanti

I'm not sure what "Pristine" really means. A number one concours car that is correctly restored should bring $100,000 plus because it will cost more than that to restore one that is in decent shape. The problem is that there are very few, perhaps single digits, #1 cars. There are collectors looking for them all the time, it takes some doing to bring the two together. 4 speed R2 cars bring a little more than automatics but not a lot.
