Bob Lucarrel offered me that car in 1997. It was still in the Youngstown factory along with a red one... the last 2

thx, the owner got through just today and couldn't be happier

There are Gray shades, from Silver to Gunmetal and depending on how much $$$ you want to throw at it, you may experience the odd outcomes I've had. First time was a respray in a '96 Lexus color "Moonstone Pearl". This was a medium GunMetal, not that dark. It looked great until it was parked it under a fluorescent light, then it looked green.
The second time (current paint job), the color from a 2014 Chrysler called Pewter Gray Pearl. This was a slightly lighter than the previous color, but again, the surprise was a muddy gold under fluorescent light. So, beware of the pearl....

Under the fender on the older cars there is access to the latch on each side behind a rubber plug . Pull the rubber plug and use a large blade screwdriver as a lever and pry the spring loaded slider aside / release each side separately
-
On the heat/air controls, there may be a small allen screw on the back side, other wise they just pull off. You have to remove the ash tray flange also ( screw on bottom?) This is all info from older cars but could be similar

He appears to have a remote cable for something in his hand.
I believe that's the throttle cable. It's attached to the Holley fuel mixer behind that front bulkhead which feeds the LARGE Paxton...

I have a caller asking about where the gas tank cover release is ( or how to access the gas tank filler)?

Anyone know who owns this one? I received a phone message, but it was garbled / couldn't make out the return number.. Name was"Tim"? maybe

Look at this page
It seems spring loaded because it's out of adjustment. Inside the case, there's a flange that looks like a sine wave. The detent ball/spring for each gear position rides on this and unless you have the adjustment correct it will not seat correctly, likely forcing the lever in/out of the position you want. There's another l o n g chance that the transmission was changed out at some time for a Ford built unit. It's basically the same as the PowerShift, but they use a different arc on the gear shift geometry.

Wouldn't the solid bolt create a noticeable vibration inside your Avanti at times?
Mounts like this SHOULD have another rubber bisquit on the underside to prevent vibrations like that

Newman & Altman made a lot of sausage building the Avanti II's...

I'm planning to clean my boxes out and coat them...I don't have a hoist, just jack stands. Where are the best access points? Do I need to use a hole saw anywhere to gain good access?
There's some good info here

GAWen,
Do you have a four wheel disc brake set up for a 82? Can you give me the manufacturer contact information, the part numbers, etc. I need to replace the rear brake set up on my 82?
Thanks in advance,

Actually, there's no mention of this car as far back as 1994 (AOAI/SDC Rosters). You can contact Nostalgic Motorcars (Dan Booth) Wixom, MI (248 349-4884)
and ask to send you the original order Build Sheet ($$) . It will tell you who ordered the car, options & where it went initially

Do you have the serial number, I may have some history..
Removing the console?
in 1984-91 Avanti

Well, 91's area a rare breed., but the drive train/chassis is 91 Caprice(?).. fuel injected, etc The body and interior is a lot of sausage from everyone else.
You might run thru some of these notes on earlier cars. There has to be some similarity. I can only archive things that others tell me about.
