That administrator has to go!

Sorry the answer here is TRUE!

It would kill the enjoyment of owning my cars if I had to bank on that they would increase in value….. I mean, it certainly is nice if a profit is made when a car is sold, but most experienced car collectors know their lucky if they break even.. and generally they lose a few bucks on the deal…. That’s just the nature of the animal aardvark…. Anyone DEPENDING their collector car’s value will go up may as well roll the dice in the stock market.

All done here?

No problem Bob, Glad I could help you!

Pretty basic for a factory job (body lift)…. but it worked!!

Well, I hope you reach your financial goals… I never knew any hobbyist that had to so strongly consider the present and future financial aspects of purchasing in Avanti. (other than automotive repair shop or body shop owners) However, any way a person can achieve their goal of Avanti ownership is a good way I guess. (Other than stealing one!!!) More power to you, Good luck & Happy New Year!

Complicated, but very thorough info… I’ll see where it leads me… Thank you.

Bushing driver set a must…. And a good vice!

I really enjoy driving my 1963 supercharged Avanti in nice weather, and occasionally enjoying a ‘cruise in’ type show. I’ve met the nicest people over the years!

Wow!!

Loooong story short: 1) Do your homework and… 2) Keep in mind the old adage…. ’There’s nothing more expensive than a cheap Avanti!!’

The issue the wiper system in my ‘63 has is….wipers do not go into ‘park’ mode.. When I turn knob to ‘off’ the wipers stop wherever.. and I have to ‘catch’ them at base of windshield before quickly turning knob to ‘off’… I’ve owned this Avanti for 35 years and this problem is something new.

Wow!…. I have to admit my ‘63 never sees rain, and the last time I tried wipers was at annual motor vehicle inspection… (which I suppose could be part of the problem… lack of use!) But if I remember correctly all the way to left is ‘off’, with wiper speed increasing as knob is rotated clockwise. ( please correct me if this doesn’t sound right)

1972 Avant ll’s with standard transmissions… Rare birds!!
