I don't want an owner's manual for the information in it as I do have the Ford manual. Until recently it was my belief the 2005-2007 models only came with the Ford owners manual until I saw a photo of an actual 2007 Avanti manual supplied by Avanti Motors. So I would like to find the Avanti manual to put in my 2006.

Wanted 2006 or 2007 owner's manual.

The 5 mph crash requirement was reduced to 2-1/2 mph in 1982 so I believe the original bumper was able to pass that requirement.

Great article. Please keep them coming. I agree that raising the rotary knob controls makes for a much better layout.

Ron - I'm curious - what are the four round plugs(?) or fasteners(?) spaced along the face of your Avanti's front bumper? I have never seen these on any 2001 thru 2007 Avanti. Nice job on the headlight openings. I have seen some 2001 - 2005 with and some without this area blacked out.
