So, all of us here know and love the Avanti, arguably the best car to come out of South Bend. Therefore its pretty nice when a comprehensive and honest video of it pops up on YouTube.
Happy Viewing!

Jake Robinson Kaywell: Shoo-wops and doo-wops galore to the background of some fine Studes. I'm eager and ready to go!

Thanks for posting this. It is always good to get the exposure. I would have preferred a car without modifications (four noted - large and small) to be used for this purpose. Also, there is the errors made by the commentator. The largest that I noted was "leather seats". Is this Avanti really a 1964 as shown/stated or is it a 1963 - not just round lights but also things like a 3EE battery.Gary L.

Some 64's had round lights, some '63's have square. Weird, but true.The only difference between death and taxes is that death does not grow worse every time Congress convenes. - Will RogersComment

I do not believe that your statement is "true". Some '64s had round lights, but I do not believe that any true '63s had square lights when built.Originally posted by Chris Pile View PostGary L.

But was it originally built that way? Many were changed, usually after an accident.Originally posted by Chris Pile View PostGary L.

There is another part of the story.
This car, the prototype, will be in Tucson AZ on March 10 for our annual March Madness Meet. Check your Turning Wheels for information. It will be a great meet.

Great video that only makes selling our restored to stock '63 R1 even more difficult.Tim-'53 Starlight Commander Custom in Yuma, AZ

Agree with Gary. Not sure any 63's left the factory with square headlights.Originally posted by studegary View PostMike Davis

You are confusing 63 models titled as 64 models because the title was dated when they were sold.Originally posted by Chris Pile View PostComment
