It was the last Avant assembled/built in June 1962 (the first month of production). That probably isn't what you are seeking. How about when the method of attaching the rear window changed, that was fairly early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good info Gary, however, you are correct that it isn't what we're looking for here. HINT....Think first owner of this Avanti! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In c.1974, I purchased a 1963 Avanti from the original owner. He was a known TV personality. He had repainted his turquoise Avanti in a chocolate brown.
