  1. 64... Not my concern. I have little interest in His high speed aspirations.
  2. 64. I can't speak for the classification my ''acquaintance'' is shooting for. And I agree... We do whatever feels right.... that said... When I found my '63' R2 in 100% stock condition, I don't have the heart to modify it. (well except the brakes to ''Turner'' since I live in a mountainous area.)
  3. Thanks for the update. Seems there are vehicles that could be candidates, but when doing the $$ math, it doesn't make sense... Yet someone will take it on, due to the love of the vehicle.
  4. Keep us up on that...
  5. Yup... 192mph is killing it.
  6. Read para 5
  7. ^ Sir.. I opened the discussion and am selling nothing.
  8. Welcome. 1 of the videos is pretty good as well.
  9. From Haggerty. Hope it comes up for Y'all. https://www.hagerty.com/media/people/before-he-finally-conquered-indy-andy-granatelli-took-on-bonneville/?hashed_email=1dfdc72d5be40fcdd9981423736a374fed1048af20ae93afd62e537405ff6270&dtm_em=1dfdc72d5be40fcdd9981423736a374fed1048af20ae93afd62e537405ff6270
  10. We've conferred about my '02'' supposing my info is on file?
  11. Hog.. Ya gotta keep a trickle charger on em.... and I've never gutted a battery Brad..to be a critic I could say 2 of the engine bays are without complete spark plug noise suppression panels and from a dealership the engines never looked like that having dual carbs and a few other options....But the reality to me is all 3 look excellent.
  12. I suspect my acquaintance (not buddy) is after 200mph, not just the 170 record.
  13. Yes, I sort of did the same, gutting the 3EE to keep the ‘look’… but instead of going with a small battery inside it, I left the battery case empty and relocated a Group 24 to the trunk, Good idea, MFG..... I'll keep that in mind.. The acquaintance I know modifying the 63 Avanti will likely go into full ground effects and spoilers., so there are those out there totally modifying these cars. That takes on total modifications to the fiberglass. To me, to make sense out of all He's doing He likely picked up His Avanti on the cheap..I never asked Him about the specifics of that.
