  1. Walt Bottjer owned R-5565. R2, Powershift, Gray with Claret interior.
  2. For the 1963 model year the Deluxe and Regal trims were available and the Deluxe trim was discontinued for the 1964 model year.
  3. OEM filter
  4. This info is in the owners manual. If you don't have one here is a copy.
  5. No, B9 is not the accepted answer. If you would take the time to do some research you will find that B9 is not the starting number. You will also find that B10 is in the first production R3 Avanti, R-5089. The roster product is in three parts. First, there is a listing of engines by "B"-number. Every B-engine number that we believe Paxton used, is on this listing. Those numbers run from 1 to 117 plus 153, 299 and 300. The most current information we have on every B engine is shown in one row. There are many blank rows, indicating that the engine has never been found or has not been reported by B number. The data for some engines are very fresh and some is 30 years old.
  6. No, that is incorrect. The serial numbers started at B1, however B1, B2, B3 and B4 are not accounted for. R-1722 has B5 R-5386 has B6 B8 is an R4 and is or was owned by Nelson Bove.
  7. Serial numbers started with B1.
  8. They were all accounted for many years ago.
  9. Thank you for taking the time to reply. No 1963 Avantis were factory built with the R3 engine. Your Avanti may have had the R3 installed by the dealer. I hope you are able to find it. Even though not factory built it is a special Avanti and worth saving.
  10. Bob, There are two black R3s. R 5237 Owned by Nelson Bove. R 5625 I am not sure but I believe it is still owned by Dan Booth.
  11. There were only nine 1964 R3 Avantis that were factory built. Could you please post the serial number of yours? Thanks, Bob Langer
  12. Don't forget the roll bar cover is Black in a 1963 with the 813 BKV all Black interior.
  13. Makes you wonder why that was done.
  14. Is your R3 one of the nine factory built R3 Avantis?
