WHO HAS A NICE SET OF DOOR SILLS .FOR A 63 AVANTI. PHOTOS AND PRICE PLEASE

[140 MPH SPEEDOMETER]

i AM 1355 AND i KNOW 1458..THEY ARE BOTH 140

THESE ARE EARLY CARS AND I THINK THAT IS THE REASON

I HOPE WE CAN FIND SOME SERIAL #S WHERE WE SEE WHEN THEY SWITCHED

MY 57 GH HAS A 160 MPH SPEEDO AND IT WAS PRODUCED 6 YEARS PRIOR!

[RADIO SWAP FOR 1963 AVANTI]

GOOD TO KNOW I WILL CHECK IT OUT

[RADIO SWAP FOR 1963 AVANTI]

Thank you

I am having a little trouble seeing which is the mike.. So Is this a separate unit or do you purchase from the vendor.

So when a call comes in and you have blue tooth paired, it automatically switches, correct?

There are several model names which did you use? Did your USB plug into the back of the unite with an AUX or USB cable?

Thanks a bunch.. Keith

[RADIO SWAP FOR 1963 AVANTI]

Thank you.. I do not see your USAB connector or microphone for Blue Tooth hands free phone connector?

[RADIO SWAP FOR 1963 AVANTI]

ANYBODY OUT THERE PUT IN A MODERN BLUE TOOTH HANDS FREE USB RADIO IN THE ORIGINAL RADIO LOCATION

IF YES.. WHAT UNIT DID YOU USE, DID YOU NEED TO CUT THE DASH, HOW DID YOU GET ACCESS TO PULL OUT THE ORIGINAL RAFIO

 

THANKS

[140 MPH SPEEDOMETER]

WHAT NUMBER IS YOUR CAR

160 MPH WERE AVAILABLE AS I MENTIONED

IF YOUR CAR IS EARLY ITS LIKELY THEY PUT IN A 140

SOMEBODY OUT THERE WILL KNOW

[140 MPH SPEEDOMETER]

I HAVE AN EARLY 1963 R1 AVANTI

THE SPEEDO READS 140 MPH

A FRIEND HAS AN EARLY R2 AVANTI AND THE SPEEDO READS 140

MY 57 GH READS 160

ANOTHER FRIENDS 56 GH READS 160

WHY THE LOWER MPH ON THE EARLY CARS./. WAS GRANATELLI NOT YET A T BONNEVILLE

WOULD HAVE THOUGHT STUDE EXECS WOULD WANT HIGHER MPH TO ATTRACT RACER TYPES?

[SHROUD FOR 63 AVANTI]

[ADDING POWER STEERING TO A 1963 4 SPEED R2]

GARY:

I went and drove the car in question without power steering.  YOU ARE CORRECT.. IT WAS VERY NIMBLE

In fact, I did not realize it was without the power unit.  Were I to acquire this car, I would not do anything to it!

Thanks...

Jeff thanks for the info and a great build.  Having gone through all that stuff with my R1 power unit this could be heaven

I am going to look at an R2 to purchase without power and I have made inquires to get a steering column as I would not want to de-commission the car for 2 weeks

[PERFORMANCE OFF THE LINE R1 **PART 2]

 IF  you follow the comments on the earlier thread to this discussion, I did not respond with what we did.

The torque converter had been rebuilt incorrectly so we discovered this when we took it apart and cut it open.

It was completely redone and reinstalled.  We set the valves to .024 cold and used stiff springs under the metering rods

The car will chirp the tires in first gear and performs like a swiss watch.  Thanks everyone for weighing in.

BTW the heads and cam were redone on this car. The block and crank are new.  The heads are nmatched, ported and dpolished as is the

intake and exhaust manifold.

[PROPER R2 4 SPEED - SPEEDOMETER]

IS THE FACTORY SPEEDO 140 OR 160 MPH?

DID ANY EARLY R2 CARS COME WITH 140 MPH SPEEDOS AND THEN IN LATER PRODUCTION WERE THEY UPGRADED?
