studegary Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Not an answer to your question - it was built in September 1962 (57 years ago). EDIT: It also should be 63R1171. It is much too early to have been built without the 63. Edited September 1, 2019 by studegary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, although the owner of this Avanti chooses to leave out the '63'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
