Wanted: Tilt Steering column for 1964 Avanti - WITHDRAWN

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 12:43:10 +0000

I want to add a factory tilt column to my 63 Avanti. Does anyone have one they would part with or know where I could get one? Thanks!

'63 Arm rest cores needed.

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 15:34:48 +0000

Working on getting the new interior installed now that the repainted body is back on the totally rebuilt chassis. I sent the four arm rests out to be reupholstered and the shop lost them! Trying to find both the front and back ones in decent condition. By "decent" I mean only needing new vinyl, not seriously water damaged or warped. Hoping one of the memers saved a set from a '64 that was parted out.

Wanted: Front right corner fiberglass

Sat, 18 Feb 2023 19:05:22 +0000

I am looking for replacement fiberglass panels to replace 40 year old repairs on the front right corner of my '64 Avanti. I would be interested in 1) the right headlight bucket; 2) the fiberglass between the right headlight and the right parking light; and 3) the front 2 feet or so of the right front fender. I already have an NOS panel that goes between the headlights. I would like NOS replacement panels or damage-free fiberglass cut from a donor car. See pictures of the damaged area below.

Thanks.

Wanted driver side front armrest for 63-64

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 16:49:53 +0000

While re-doing upholstery, I discovered that the driver armrest has deteriorated. Hopefully, someone has one to spare. Plan B is to make one out of fiberglass using the bad one as a mold.

WANTED: Interior chrome trim strips

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 01:36:12 +0000

I'm reupholstering my '63 and need the upper chrome strips on both upholstered door cards and also the chrome strips in the back seat area above the arm rests. These are the trim pieces that divide the pleated panel upholstery from the upper fawn upholstery.

Previous owner removed them and didn't reinstall when he had new upholstery installed.

Thanks,

Dennis

'63 R1 Factory air for sale- price reduced

Fri, 02 May 2025 13:49:23 +0000

Some of you have been following along as I removed the existing OEM A/C system from my '63 R1 and replaced it with new. For those who prefer original, here you go- it's all for sale. Evaporator unit (inside console), compressor and condenser. Here's what I know about it:

1) The whole system was recharged and operational in 2005 when a major mechanical restoration was done.

2) Before removing, I applied power to the clutch, verifying it to operate, and let the compressor run a few seconds (no freon in the system). The compressor pumped up the system, and when I disconnected the lines an hour later it was still holding. The compressor is a York type, rebuilt in the 90's by Everco.

3) I applied power to the blower motor and verified it to run quietly. I'm not able to test the expansion valve.

4) The condenser includes the drier, which will need to be replaced like any used one should be.

Components sold as is. $250 each or $650 for all 3. Buy them all and I'll throw in the old hoses which you can use for patterns. Get them while you can, - if a vendor ever gets these in stock, he will want several times as much!
