YOU ARE LOOKING AT A 1978 AVANTI THAT IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. AT THIS LOW PRICE YOU CAN LEAVE AS IS AND USE EVERYDAY AND FIX LITTLE THINGS AS YOU GO ALONG OR STRIP AND DO A COMPLETE RESTORATION . IT HAS ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES THAT AVANTI CAME WITH. POWER WINDOWS, POWER DISC BRAKES, POWER STEERING, AC, TILT RACING WHEEL, AM FM CASSETTE AND 8 TRACK PLAYER, SUNROOF, RECLINING BUCKET SEATS, POWER TRUNK FULL GAUGE PACKAGE AND MUCH MORE. IT IS AMAZING HOW NICE THE INTERIOR IS WITH VERY LITTLE WEAR ON THE SEATS FRONT AND BACK. THE CARPET IS ORIGINAL BUT FADED AND IF YOU REPLACED IT ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER MINOR THINGS INSIDE, THE INTERIOR WOULD LOOK ALMOST NEW AGAIN. THE BODY OVERALL IS IN GOOD SHAPE, THERE ARE CHIPS HERE AND THERE AND THE PAINT IS PEELING IN SPOTS FROM A NOT SO GREAT SECOND PAINT JOB YEARS AGO. THERE ARE SOME SMALL CRACKS IN THE FIBERGLASS BY THE RIGHT FRONT BLINKER WHICH CAN EASILY BE REPAIRED. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION RUN VERY STRONG. THE CAR IS VERY FAST. I RECENTLY CHANGED THE OIL AND REPLACED THE UPPER RADIATOR HOSE. I ALSO CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS, THE ALTERNATOR BELT AND SOME GAS HOSES. IT NEEDS A POWER STEERING HOSE SO I TOOK OFF THE POWER STEERING BELT TO AVOID RUINING THE PUMP BY RUNNING IT DRY. THE A/C IS NOT WORKING BUT I WILL LOOK INTO IT. I NOTICED THE FUSE WAS DEAD AND IT NEEDS A BELT SO HOPEFULLY THAT'S THE ISSUE. THE THE FRONT BUMPER IS NICE AND STRAIGHT BUT CAN BE RECHROMED TO BE PERFECT. THE REAR BUMPER IS BENT BUT CAN BE STRAIGHTENED AND RECHROMED TO BE PERFECT ALSO. THE TRUNK INSIDE IS IN NICE SHAPE. THE BRAKES HAVE PLENTY OF PAD LEFT AND WORK FINE. THE HOG TROUGHS ARE FINE AND NOT RUSTED OUT, THE FRAME IS SOLID AND I RECENTLY HAD ALL THE STRENTHENING PLATES THAT ARE ADDED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME SPOT WELDED WHERE NEEDED. DEPOSIT OF $1000.00 BY PAYPAL WITHIN 24 HOURS OF END OF AUCTION. CASH BALANCE TO BE PAID UPON PICKUP OF VEHICLE... PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND ENJOY THE PICTURES. I SOLD THIS CAR LAST WEEK HERE ON EBAY FOR $8000.00 (SO I THOUGHT) AND THE HIGHEST BIDDER DID NOT REPLY TO MY MESSAGES UNTIL I HAD TO THREATEN HIM WITH A NON PAYING BIDDER COMPLAINT. THEN HE SENT A LESSOR DEPOSIT TO ME THROUGH PAYPAL WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION AT ALL. I ASKED FOR THE BALANCE OF THE DEPOSIT AND NO REPLY SINCE. I CANCELLED HIS ECHECK PENDING (BS) PAYMENT SO NOW THE CAR IS FOR SALE AGAIN. I AM A STRAIGHT SHOOTER THAT WILL ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AND HELP YOU HOWEVER I CAN. PLEASE GIVE ME THE SAME RESPECT BY NOT BIDDING ON A CAR YOU DO NOT PLAN TO BUY. PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU WILL NOT COMMUNICATE OR GO BY THE AUCTION GUIDELINES THAT ARE SPECIFIED ABOVE. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SELL THIS CAR LOCALLY. THANK YOU.
