mfg Posted November 15, 2014 Report Posted November 15, 2014 Two items in the interior of my '73 Avanti ll were made in Italy....What are these two items?
1963r2 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Steering wheel and Recaro seats. pb Edited November 15, 2014 by 1963r2
mfg Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Posted November 16, 2014 Steering wheel and Recaro seats. pb You're correct about the steering wheel, but not about the seats!.....Now, what else could it be????
Guest dapy Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 The name AVANTI and of course the rear view mirror. There is always someone behind you in Italy. That 'bump' you felt was a pick pocket not a Fiat.
Gunslinger Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 From the movie "Gumball Rally" as the driver ripped the mirror off and dumped it..."The first rule of Italian racing is what's behind you does not matter!"
warren55 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) The steering wheel and the idiotic cow catcher shock absorbers? Ooops. Just realized you said interior. Leather for the seats. Edited November 20, 2014 by warren55
Guest dapy Posted November 20, 2014 Report Posted November 20, 2014 Gunny, In Texas the later Gumball 3000 was called "The Texas Outlaw Run". Yes, Virginia there was a movie GUMBALL RUN. (1976) It did not cast an Avanti. Who was in it? What car won? The romantic Ferrari driver was Raul Julia. I made a wild guess. Gunny nailed it.
Gunslinger Posted November 20, 2014 Report Posted November 20, 2014 I believe the main character in the movie was Michael Sarrazin who drove a Cobra. Raul Julia was driving a Ferrari I think. I think the Cobra won but it's been years since I've seen the movie.
mfg Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Posted November 20, 2014 Answer.....NARDI steering wheel and VEGLIA clock!!!!!!
warren55 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 You have a different clock than my 73 has in it, then.
Guest dapy Posted November 21, 2014 Report Posted November 21, 2014 Benito made the trains run on time. He used the now famous Veglia clock. Some have it and some don't.
mfg Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Posted November 27, 2014 You have a different clock than my 73 has in it, then. Probably, mine is factory installed, but no doubt Avanti bought from different vendors.
mfg Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Posted December 9, 2014 Carello driving lights. Craig Not bad!.....But we are speaking of the interior here.
8E45E Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Not bad!.....But we are speaking of the interior here. Perhaps the switch. Could have been a Torrix switch supplied by Carello. Craig
mfg Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Posted December 10, 2014 Perhaps the switch. Could have been a Torrix switch supplied by Carello. Craig Switch eh?....I'm sure not going to say you're wrong!
