Avanti2002 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Anyone know what is the current status of the company? Has the gov't seized the company? Any chance of buying a new car or left over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Supposedly the factory is shut down and everyone let go. At least one member has said the dealer in Atlanta is shut down as well. From the government's case against Mike Kelly and others it's alleged that Avanti Motors was the beneficiary of illegally obtained funds. So for the time being it appears until things are resolved in some way Avanti Motor Corporation is in limbo. I wonder if the government can operate Avanti Motor Corporation...the precedent exists...the government operated that brothel in Nevada when they seized it for back taxes. If (and where) there's any unsold cars left is a big question mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffgrohs Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 they sold off most or all earlier this year. Four of those were at the South Bend meet in June. The new issue of Avanti magazine has an article about the last two sold ( to a father and son) in late May / early June. Supposedly the factory is shut down and everyone let go.
