[Unrestored ‘63 R2 4 Speed Avanti]

Thanks Appreciate the guidance.  Looked at it today vin/cowl tag/motor all say its a real R2 4 Speed.  It’s a bit tired (paint) and the hog troughs were repaired/not replaced.  Wants about $10K over Dunkin’s high number.  I think there’s room but I’d gone in thinking low 40’s high 30’s but now am thinking $30 would be top dollar.  Runs real strong handles well.  First R2/4 Speed I looked at, think I’ll keep looking for a while.

 

Thanks Again.

Jim

[Unrestored ‘63 R2 4 Speed Avanti]

I’m looking at an unrestored ‘63 R2 4 Speed Avanti.  Only paperwork is build sheet but it appears original.

Bottom seat covers were replaced but other than that paint, chassis, etc… all appear original showing 43,000 miles.

Trying to garner an idea of value.  I was thinking R2’s in upper $30’s low 40’s but this car being original and the current 

market not sure value.  Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thx..

Thanks Studegary on the paint.  The paint is a bit of a hang up for me I really like cars as original as possible, NOS parts, etc… even original paint that doesn’t have the shine, etc… doesn’t bother me.

Thanks

Thanks All.  I also use Hagerty guide and agree probably $30K is everything under looks good.  I’ll get it on a lift and check all.  The Halibrands do appear original and are in better than decent shape.  I am not in a hurry so we’ll see where this leads to.  Really appreciate the advice.

 

ONE QUESTION is the authenticity guide and addendum that can be purchased from the site good/worth it?

[R2 Avanti Value]

Hello, new to the Avanti forum.  I have been looking for an Avanti for about 2 years.  Found a 63 R2 for Sale at Carlisle yesterday.

Believe a 3 owner car.  Car spent most of it’s life in Lancaster PA now is in State College PA.  It’s got 55K miles on motor (never apart),

R2, Auto, PB, PS and has what appear to be original Halibrands.  Trying to figure what the car is worth does not appear to have ever

been in an accident one repaint in white but owner had pearl white applied instead of original white paint is extremely nice and the pearl

is almost not noticeable.  I am going to meet the owner along with previous owner later this week.  Any thoughts on value including the Halibrands and also opinion on pearl white instead of original white?  

I have always restored cars back to as they were when new including the paint so the pearl although really nice isn’t original but I dont know what that does to value of an Avanti.

 

Any opinions would be appreciated.
