Luma Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Spotted this interesting 63 Avanti at the RM web site (listed below). Looks very well done and best part, is the R2 engine with AIR, and Power Steering. Very neatly done.

studegary Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 "Interesting" is the polite word that I would also use. Not my "cup of tea", but there is probably someone that this appeals to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Can't say I like the vinyl top/targa roof but it does look well done. Some of the original design sketches show the car with a targa top but it was nixed due to costs most likely. I can't imagine the wind roar inside when going down the highway with the top off. I had a '78 Corvette and it was like a cyclone inside driving with tops out and things would get sucked out into the wind stream if not either heavy or held down. I can see a potential problem keeping the rear glass in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
