The used R2 drive line alone is worth at least 5K. The fact that it's
a R2 4 speed is driving the bids.

I was informed of this car 2 weeks before it was going to hit ebay.Coulda
got it for a few grand less.I passed on it.
The phrase" there is nothing more expensive than a cheap Avanti" kept
running through my head.Plus the fact that last year I looked at 2 R2 4
speed 63's (drivers)and at 6K there was no interest here for either one also
scared me off it.

How much would a similar 63 Avanti with a rebuilt R-1, a/c, powershift,
pw, and an included loose tt rear end go for. The engine has about 3
hours on the rebuild and 0 miles. It has R-3 Valves, the heads and
intake are gasket matched, edelbrock carb, pertronix ignition, arp rod
bolts, recored radiator, .060 over flat top pistons, and a R2+ cam from
Ted. Also what horsepower numbers would I expect.

6-8K would be my guess, maybe 260-275 HP. If the hog troughs are good,
add a grand or so.

It also has a brand new dash and the guages have all been gone over,
the clock even works.
