Spotted this interesting 63 Avanti at the RM web site (listed below). Looks very well done and best part, is the R2 engine with AIR, and Power Steering. Very neatly done. Ton O Pictures!

Can't say I like the vinyl top/targa roof but it does look well done.  Some of the original design sketches show the car with a targa top but it was nixed due to costs most likely.  I can't imagine the wind roar inside when going down the highway with the top off.  I had a '78 Corvette and it was like a cyclone inside driving with tops out and things would get sucked out into the wind stream if not either heavy or held down.

I can see a potential problem keeping the rear glass in as well.
