And yes… I agree it’s time to stop chasing tails!!
-
I’ve presented common sense… you simply aren’t listening friend!

I will add…I believe we can all agree that using a 1-10 ‘average’ rating really doesen’t work when considering the purchase of a 60+ year old collector vehicle… As has already been said a few times on this thread,….Your opinion of what constitutes a #5 condition 1963 Avanti may vary greatly from my opinion…… or the next guys opinion.

Yes, I agree, you probably are too demanding…. In my humble opinion, when one is considering buying a 60+ year old collector car for good money, (no matter what the advertised condition is), buying it sight unseen is a no-no….. I’d have to inspect the vehicle personally to feel comfortable… even, I suppose, if it means purchasing an airline ticket.

OK!!!…all’s well that ends well… Glad everyone’s happy… Time to move on!

R2 automatic is a good combo!… Factory Stude Avanti four speed clutch linkage was never up to the job… The Powershift automatic really makes a better car… maybe a bit less fun to drive… but a better all around car!(IMHO)

Bob… Sounds to me that after doing careful research, you bought yourself a really nice Avanti. That’s great news!! I like ‘Avanti White’ Stude Avantis with the orange interior… Many of the early production Avantis were built in that fashion. Best of luck with your new purchase!……I hope you have many happy miles behind the steering wheel! Merry Christmas…Ed

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to my fellow AOAI Forum members !

Wow!… were you the Grinch that stole Christmas in another life?? You need to learn respect for others opinions son! Happy Holidays!

Agreed… All I’d add is…. on 6V vehicles, which need all the ‘grounding’ they can get, the ground wire is sometimes relocated directly to a starter mounting bolt. Of course, this would not apply to Avantis or any other 12V vehicle.

Sounds like the SDC forum administrator is finally attempting to earn his pay….…. Will wonders never cease ??

“Inane”?….I don’t think so…. However, I do understand that individuals situations and viewpoints can widely differ….. I stand by my prior comments.

Bob, as in real estate, there’s no such thing as a true ‘comp’ in the Avanti world….There are simply too many variables…… To repeat, an Avanti, or any other collector car, is worth what the buyer is willing to pay you, and what you’ll accept, on the day you sell it!
