Good thought, however, that's not the reason.( It was built with a 327.) Any other thoughts here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfg Posted June 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 ANSWER!..........RQA0306 is the gorgeous 'Persian Lime' 1969 Avanti ll purchased early in its life by AOAI member Tom Ventris Jr......Before Tom purchased this Avanti it was a 'high-end' loaner car for a Ferrari dealer in Hollywood.....A few of the folks who 'wheeled' this car were football great Tommy Mack and movie actor James Cann.

silverstude Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Unfortunately, lost in the "Camp" fire in California - November 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I believe the gentleman who owned RQA0306 is the same one who purchased my RQB1574 to replace it. He lost his entire car collection in the fires...including some very rare and even one-of-a-kind vehicles such as the Studebaker Kart Hauler.

Gunslinger Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Yep...the same guy who bought my Avanti. He lost three dozen collector cars and motorcycles...and not all were insured. He lost all that as well as his home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
