What is so special about this Avanti?  And is this seriously what an
Avanti in this shape goes for now days?

  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's an R2, 4 spd.  Insanity, it has no bounds when it comes to Ebay.

Bo (it's like the economic genius said the other day, "it's a bubble thing
and will bust soon".  Don't get caught in the bubble.)
