I believe that Dr. Lamberti had a special Gold color painted on his 1964 Avanti, and that is possibly the one special.

As you are probably already aware it is not necessary to raise the body in order to install a Chevy Engine into a Avanti. The Altmans did not like the raked look of the original Avanti . I have a 64 Avanti that has had a Chevy engine in it since 1967 , no body shims , air cleaner or exhaust issues. It does have a Avanti II fan shroud.

Thank you for providing the information to make a custom badge.

Wow, I would love to do this and honor Tom Kellogg. He was a personal friend and a inspiration for restoring my 1964 Avanti.

Impressive results, but even more so by not having removed the dash from the car !

I am interested in the air conditioning console bezel. How much do you want for it.

I converted my modified 1964 Avanti a few years ago to a similar evaporator in a car that was also factory air conditioned. I took a different approach and cut the console and installed the evaporator under the dash . My reasoning is that I wanted maximum cooling and the four outlets provided this for me. Doing it this way I can blow air into the rear as well as cool the front passengers. I attempted to install and intergrate the evaporator into the dash with no success.

You are correct. Had and have are two different things. I have been blessed in life to own some great cars and even more fortunate today to still have some great cars. I work in the automotive business and have clients that have even greater cars to play with.

I had a Shelby Cobra at eighteen years old,what condition would that render you. Our neighborhood had numerous Corvettes , muscle cars a Ferrari Lusso among other cars. We had four Avanti's in the small confines of where I lived in New Jersey. Good times , great memories.
