The Magnum 500's were the stock wheels on Avanti II's until the late 70's, as I recall. Borrani wire wheels were an option during the 70's and became pretty common in later years. I will try to stop in again and contribute if I can, but my brother was always the Mopar guy in our family! One of...

Wow, nice work! I suppose it's a good thing my switch is in good shape, though. It's hard enough to find parts like the Javelin or AMX style mirrors that they used on my car. I don't suppose there's a lot of interest in making repro Matador parts! I suppose it's logical they would use and AMC...

Mine was the first year of the 400, but even with all the bad things you hear about them it has never overheated and actually seems to have pretty decent power. Enough to break the tires loose in the first two gear, anyway. Sounds like you know your Avantis pretty well. Yes, the hog troughs are...

Rats! You've seen right through my carefully crafted hyperbole! So, back to the switch: We're pretty sure it doesn't exist in the Mopar world? There are no part #'s but it does seem close in design. I seriously doubt that Avanti Motors had it made just for them.

Keen eye! ;-) Did I mention I put the body on a 69 Dart GTS frame?

And just because, here's shot of the actual beast!

It looks like you're not that far away, and I actually drive through Surrey on a regular basis, so if you have a Hemi sitting there we can work on getting it stuffed in there! I think hood clearance could be an issue, though....:icon_scratch:

Thanks for the reply! Yes, it is a factory install on my 73 and I'm pretty sure they used them until at least 76, but I've yet to find any of my Avanti contacts who can name where it came from except that it looks like a Chrysler switch! (Although some though it might be AMC, and they did borrow...

Hi all! First post here, and I apologize in advance since I don't currently own a Mopar....:happy11: I actually own an Avanti II, which I believe has a Mopar wiper switch! I just can't figure out which one it is. I stared out thinking it was a standard 69-73 switch with a different knob, but on...
