How cool is this? I can't imagine there are many left in this state.

----Can't imagine where you would find a good dash pad, But this is a rare car with the 4-speed and deserves a correct restoration. Unfortunatly it would have to be a labor of love as the numbers just don't remotely add up. Too bad!...….Bill S

----My guess on the color is the tan metallic that was so popular on the 63 Avantis. I had one that color and I swear at least 50% of them must have been the same. Adding to that, I have never seen a yellow original. I don't think they offered yellow..….Bill S

The battery looks like what is common in tractors in the 60s. John Deere 4020 used 2 or those.
My ex wifes dad had a 60s Avanti. That was 15 years ago and I dont think it ran then. Told me it was so fast the back window blew out once
