New to me 1974 Avanti II in Ellijay GA

[StingrayHawaii]

Recently picked up a nice 74 Avanti II with very nice restore/ update done by Dion Sanders in Florence Al.  RQB 2092

Nice paint, replacement engine and transmission with a TBI 350 and 700r4 transmission.  New tires, radiator upgrade, ac restore, new/ recent paint, good chrome.  May need to replace windshield eventually. Replaced a door latch to solve a stubborn door closure.

Have already started the removal of the cow catcher and tweaking a few things.  Runs good, drives good, ac and gauges all work, new tires and overall excellent original interior. Tweaking lights and going over everything, but so far it is a very nice restoration and mechanical upgrade job by Dion.

Always wanted an Avanti and this one fits the bill for my needs.  Plan to keep it mostly stock with stock with some mild retro mods to make it more efficient and comfortable.

Very proud to be an Avanti owner and member of the Avanti community’s!

Welcome to the AOAI Forum.  That appears to be an excellent Avanti.  You are at least the third Gary with a current strong interest in Avantis.  The unusual part is that another one, not me, is also Gary Johnson.

Interesting, maybe I should go by Charles, my first name!  Ha!  

Or better yet, StingrayHawaii my usual handle on my Corvette forums! 

Glad to be part of the community!!

Hey Gary...GOOD FOR YOU!!....She looks like a really nice Avanti, that was well cared for over the years....The Magnum 500's "work" very well with the car too!
