Need help with a mistitled avanti

[kramerdad1]

Hi, Im new to Avantis which is probably why I hasve this problem. I purchased what was supposed to be a 1969 Avanti. I have in hand a title from Illinoise showing a 1969 Avanti seriel number RQB3108. I have just discovered ( through the great help of John Hull) that this car is a 1980. I bought this car out of Oswego, Il, does any one have any knowledge of this car? Its British Racing Green, Camel interior , moon roof. Thanks for any help, dean 505-414-0617

Dean,

I couldn't help you, but you helped me with the electronic transmission question. Like to keep this going and compare notes on our newly acquired cars. That would be most helpful for non-mechanical me. My email is dap8@comcast.net and phone in Houston is Dave Pyle 713 464 6717

What is the serial number of the 1980 you bought?

One random possibility is someone purposely backdated the model year to avoid emissions testing or other state-mandated regulations or to get an antique title or tag.
