I bought this several years ago from Art Unger, a fellow sdc member and tw editor,my intent was to make a vintage drag car out of it. Well --sometimes we get a curve thrown at us and we have other things to worry about! The good--solid body,fits nice doesn't look like it has ever been hurt,hog troughs and frame are excellent,it was an Arizona car for a lot of it's life(hence trashed dash) All guages work except of course the clock,they are not pitted,the glass is excellent all the way around .it has what looks to be a radiator recore,it does not overheat,the alternator looks fresh, charging system is working well,included is dash from a newer (83) avanti with just a couple of stress cracks,should make dash pretty nice when repaired and dyed black.Wipers work now(new post driver side thanks to Gary Johnson) and I rebuilt the heater control valve,I have most of the stainless wire shields,original front seats(need recovered) And an avanti steering wheel(needs help but fixable) I had the transmission sealed up and checked out, it works well,I have been driving the car last few days,it sometimes smokes a little on startup,but starts good,and runs very strong . It has a 373 tt rearend,build sheet says she was Turquoise originaly! A good car to dink and drive,or do a full blown restoration on! Any question regarding car call me at 253 255 1274 This is my 9th avanti so I know what a solid car is,it needs (and deserves)a complete restoration ! Paint is driver quality -- looks good at 20 feet, The body is excellent in fit --also the power steering is missing,I have lower valve body,ram and hoses but no pump ! I just don't want you to think she's a show car! Also, if sold out of state I would like to keep the vintage plate!
