A  extremely rare classic performance Avanti like this one does not come to
 market very often. This car started as a fully restored  1964 White Avanti
 R-2 that was in excellent condition. I had purchased a completely rebuilt
 factory  R-3 (B103) supercharged engine from Nimesh Solanki that came out 
of a barn find in New Jersey. Nimesh did the complete engine swap/upgrade in
 his shop and his attention to detail is amazing. This completely original
 engine had under 12k mileage when it was completely dissassemled and rebuilt
 by Nimesh
. Engine was and still is like new and is currently breaking in as I put the
 vehicle up for sale. Run under 1000 miles since rebuild.

When mated to a 4-speed, the performance is amazing. The car started as 
automatic equipped, I have the build sheet, but was converted to a factory
 4-speed during the complete restoration. The body/paint is perfect with few 
of the normal fiberglass waves and the chrome and glass are excellent. Car is 
equipped with the rare tilt wheel that has been recovered in leather, and has 
new carpet and completely new weatherstripping.

Car was upgraded with classic Rader wheels with redline tires. Frame and 
undercarriage were completely restored and detailed with no evidence of rust
 ever present. The car drives like it looks and can be heard on You Tube by 
looking up Avanti R3 and see Nimesh running the engine. Added additional 
electric radiator fan for  traffic conditions but car never runs over 180 
degrees. Car has power steering and traction control and the only change was
 to lower the rear end ratio to 3.33.1 for lower rpm at 60 mph. I have the
 original higher gears that I will include with the purchase.

All factory guages work including the clock. Car has rare  working AM/FM radio
 and windshield washers. Always garaged and covered!
