The "63" was dropped from the Serial Number before number 3848. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I searched my memory banks (my usual source) and even looked at some Service Letters. I am thinking that it was owned by someone special or modified and not some factory running change.

mfg Posted September 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 You got it Gary!.....R3848 was not a 'factory job'...... it's the gorgeous 'Avanti Red' 63 that Mr. Charles Sydoryk installed the B-92 R3 engine in....That's the famous R3 that was shipped to England and stored for years in a warehouse in Birmingham......This Avanti also features a NOS 'R3' type flanged axle, which may be rarer than the engine!! A feature, with many great color photos of this Avanti, was published in 'AVANTI MAGAZINE' issue # 147. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
