I keep looking at this 64 Avanti on ebay as it seems unusual to me. The color combo, if original, and later style solid interior in the earlier color (not claret) is really different.

No clearcoat on an original Avanti. It's interesting that even the trunk channel is dull. You might want to go look at it with some 2000 grit and polish to see the condition. It's a decent car but if it needs paint and anything else you'll be into it for a much larger amount.
Look over the sales price of recently sold Avanti's both on Ebay and Bob Johnstones site and make your decision from there.
If you really want it have a local look it over, on second look you are a fur piece away.

I used to sell those wheels circa 1968-1970. They were ET II and were actually TWO piece wheels. The outer polished lip and spokes were one piece and were pressed into steel outers, then with little tabs which were cast into the outers, they were welded to the inners at the tabs. As hokey as it sounds I had them on my '63 GT for many years before progressing to Cragar S/S units. Its just 60's technology. As an aside, that BFG T/A is VERY ancient and was produced about that same era(probably early to mid 70's). Date code them and you wouldn't want to drive very far on them. Also with being located in Wenatchee, Washington, it gets pretty warm there in the summer so dry rot is probably pretty prevalent.
Hope this info helps.
Cheers, Bill
