1963 R2 Avanti for sale

[Nelson]

For sale is a 1963 R2 Avanti for restoration. A California car with a perfect frame and hog troughs, even the rear frame crossover tube is perfect. It is a very late round light car, serial R 4873B. It is equipped with the supercharged R2 engine, power shift automatic transmission, manual windows, power steering and 3.73 axle ratio. I have installed a new style front main lip type seal on the crank and a new water pump. The car also has R3 upper control arms. It has been off the road for some time and stored in a dry garage. However, the old dark brown repaint is shot and the interior needs work. High back front seats were installed and interior color changed to a complimentary  brownish color to go with the exterior. Dash has one crack above the radio speaker but is very repairable. The supercharger is on the car and works fine. I also installed new white wall R205 75 15 tires. Brakes were bled and work(?) but included is a Turner disc brake upgrade still in boxes in the trunk. Price is $10750. I’m in Cincinnati, Ohio my phone is 5 one three two zero seven two 381. Leave a message.

Sounds interesting!…. The perfect frame & troughs puts a perspective purchaser way ahead.

Good deal for someone IF it starts and runs. 80k miles is not too bad. 

I'd be interested but I just bought my project 2 months ago.

I do not need another Avanti, but this one is a steal for the price it is being offered at.

Yes, the frame and troughs being perfect should be worth thousands, much less the time and headache to get that stuff repaired correctly.

Thanks, Bob. I think it is priced to sell and sell with a clear conscience..

I hate to tell you but I’ve got you beat. I keep telling myself “I’m done” but it’s just hard to stop. I just enjoy these cars! This one should make someone a great project. It checks a lot of boxes for desirable Avantis.

My issue is limited barn space. I already have 3 vehicles (out of 7 collectibles)  sitting outside and that goes against my grain.
