Year model information needed

[1963 UFO]

 I have Titled 1964 Avanti. I have the build sheet. It doesn’t say what year my round headlight Avanti is. #R4387. How do I verify it’s a 1964 ?

[Dwight FitzSimons]

One source (Bob Johnstone's website) states that Avanti R-4835 is considered the first 1964 Avanti.  That car is a round headlight one.  Your R4387 falls into the 1963 model year range.  But, some 1963 Avantis weren't sold until 1964, and were titled as 1964s by the state in which they were first registered.  That kind of thing happened back then.  It might be possible to get your Avanti's title changed to 1963 if you were to take the required documentation to your DMV.  I would think that doc from AOAI would be essential.
