[Pricing on parts]

I have a couple Avanti that are dismantled.

My question in selling parts, Body, engine, Drivetrain , interior etc... Where does one go to find ture values?

I saw in another post that a 64 tile steering column can go for up to $2000. If this is true when one would sell

a car as a project or parts car , what would a value be?

Say I have all the parts to complete a car yet no desire to do the job.

Anyway what is a good site to find values on used, NOS, or refurbished values?

Question I have also is :

The interior for the 64... Would this be man mase leather or real leather? Vinyl? I almost think it is leather? Could it have that?

Also I think my dad put Koni shocks in. Does that matter? Should I get original parts for things like that and exhaust or are modern parts considered ok?

The Supercharger is a Paxton I believe. Have the supercharged nameplat on a shelf so that is a for sure on supercharged.

Think I have another supercharged. Could the 63 have been a supercharged?

I have the nose and all but the interior for the 63. Just don't have the website space for any more pics. No idea why but it restricts me to 500m or whatever, that's 3 pics.

Here is a pic of the 63. Only enough gig space on site to have 1 pic.

64 r2 4speed with some interesting history is the one to restore for sure and that 4 speed is worth its weight in gold so definitely swap it back in. No R2's came from the factory with air so you aren't missing anything that was available. All non-supercharged Avantis are R1's.

There weren't a lot of options available on either car. P/s, twin traction, A/C (R1), tilt wheel ( later cars and very rare ), am or am fm radio, seat belts, windshield washers, tinted glass and a choice of interior style on the very early cars and of course 3 speed, automatic or 4 speed transmissions. A lot of the little stuff like seat bealts, windshield washers and probably the radios could be installed by the dealer. If either car has an Am/FM save it and have it refurbished if it doesn't work because they are worth stupid money.

Yeah I know I have an AM radio for sure but no idea to which car. And since I was not directly involved with either, I am a mustang guy, I have no real idea what I have. I actuall have parts from 2 '63s, but only enough parts for 1 of the 63 with some left overs, My dad for instance had already sold various parts that were the 3rd of a part, like a carb, doors glass various other parts.

At least he did not sell any 64 parts. I think lol.

Because some one asked.

Here are a couple pics for the 64

Thanks

ErnieThat is basically what I was looking for.

I figured the cars were basic as my dad never mentioned otherwise.

The 63 is basic and I don't even know if it is a R1.

The 64 is what it is, supercharged with all the bells and whistles I believe except air. Not sure as both are in pieces.

I will have to get the original 4speed back into the chassis for the 64 because my dad wanted aotomatic, he took the 63 trans and switched it into the 64. Other then that all is normal to this point.

Hehe,

Well no disrespect, but can no one answer what New jersey Showcar stands for? ie. Paris Oregon, Chicago et all?

And I do understand all Avanti are considered rare in a sense, I always believed the 64s were more so because of the low numbers yet more collectors like the 63s 

I go back: I only have money enough to build 1, my choice is a '63 # R63-1573 or this #R-4968 '64

If neither has any relevance to any rarity other then an Avanti I will go with the 64 because it is further along and has some noted history. Whatever it is.

Thank you for the responses.

But what might New Jersy Showcar stand for?

http://www.sagebrushstudebaker.com/tw_intrst.html

Is where I got any information from , this also stated that there were 655 64s made.

Where does one find true information from?

I would like to narrow things down a little better because I need to decide where to go from here.

I also have a 63 that is totally dismantled and is a lower number.

Wondering if I should just sell the 64 as is if it is just a basic 64 of no real importance.

[Avanti relevance, '64 #R-4968]

hey all.

I have Avanti # R-4968 a red 64. Possibly listed as the New Jersy Showcar.

Also possibly listed as one of the first 15 square headlighted built.

What does this mean?

Is it considered rarer then any other 64 with square headlights?

It is supercharged but I think all 64 are.

How important is it that the car would have to be restored from the ground up?

Yet the chassis and all attached have already been, just body and interior work to be done.

We have had the car since 65 maybe 66 I would have to check.

Any information on this would be a great help.

Thanks
