mfg Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 ANSWER....................RQB 3650! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avanti83 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Now that is close to ol' RQB-3651 setting in my polebarn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studegary Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 ANSWER....................RQB 3650! I believe RQB 3650 is the 1983 Avanti that was used as a prototype for the 25 - 20th Anniversary Special Editions. Was it just that Avanti (and the Anniver. cars) or all of the rest of 1983 production (and following) that had the Avanti gauges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something in my memory says it has SW gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RQB3651 probably has SW badged gauges...RQB3650 was/is a one of one Avanti, and the Avanti script gauges came much later in normal production Avantis.

studegary Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 This causes me to question your original trivia question and your answer. If RQB3650, used as a prototype, was just one Avanti and not the beginning of the series/run that used the Avanti script gauges, it was NOT when Avanti "switched" over to these gauges.

That's true Gary!...My question SHOULD HAVE read which Avanti was first to receive 'Avanti' script gauges?....Thanks for the correction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
