Luma Posted April 6, 2018 Report Posted April 6, 2018 For sale. A very nice, fully equipped RQA 277 Avanti II. Featuring PS, Tilt Wheel (original Studebaker Style) PW, Air Conditioning, Twin Traction AM FM Cassette and all tinted glass with front and rear sun bands. Beautiful Champagne Gold Pearl exterior with "Antique Saddle"all leather interior. Car is showing 69K miles and appears to be accurate. I have owned the car for 10 and 1/2 years and collected a lot of history on the car. Original motor but has been changed to a 4 speed manual with all original Avanti II parts. Much more fun to drive! Please PM if you have any questions about the car. Reason for selling is I have 5 Avanti's and have to let one go. Car has been to many shows in the Albany NY area and has been roadworthy (fair weather only) as long as I have owned it.$15,000. OBO
studegary Posted April 7, 2018 Report Posted April 7, 2018 It appears to be a very nice Avanti. It surprises me that RQA 0277 is a 1968 model and not a 1969 model. EDIT: I do not see side marker lights that would be required for either the 1968 or 1969 model years. Have they been removed?
Luma Posted April 8, 2018 Author Report Posted April 8, 2018 Studegary, Here's a picture of the car taken at Niantic CT. in 1976. This is the original color of the car too. If you notice there are no side markers visible. I think I met you right around this time years back! Ringing any bells with you? Also a couple shots from the Saratoga Museum Car show.
studegary Posted April 8, 2018 Report Posted April 8, 2018 No, I do not remember you or the Avanti from "only" 42 years ago. Then again, I do not even know what your name is. EDIT: This was taken off the Forum to get some resolution.
AJay Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 Would you have some photos of the interior and underside of the car? Thank You,
Luma Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Posted April 18, 2018 Ajay, It is still winter here in upstate NY! I will get the car out of storage and get some fresh shots of the underside (excellent) and the interior for you this weekend.
Luma Posted April 21, 2018 Author Report Posted April 21, 2018 Here are some more pix taken today, first time sun in a while
Luma Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Posted May 20, 2018 I am pleased to announce that good old 277 has found a new "Enthusiast" and will shortly be on its way to Jolly Old England. Often referred to by me as "The Goldfinger" car, perhaps it will challenge some DB5 over there. Good Luck Mate!
