    Avanti Cost!

    Lets toss out #3. $4495.
  2. Well without the air cleaner I'm going with #2. $250.00
  3. Now that is FUNNY!!
  4. Lets take a stab at #2. 37
  5. Looks really nice, thanks for posting the photos.
  6. WOW, never seen one looking anywhere near as nice as yours, excellent upgrades. What year motor did you use to replace the 305?
  7. If I let my top just close and release the button as the top almost hits the top of the windshield, it is a bugger to get it to latch. If I hold the button the pump puts out more pressure and lets the top then kind of stretch to allow the pins to be within maybe 1/4 inch away from the place they need to go. Then I can just move the latches and lock it in. Took a while to get the "hang" of making it easy to put the top up.
  8. You sure do some interesting improvements to that car. Like what you have done.

    Avanti Count!

    Since 1962 would have been them showing off what they were about to build I think 3.
  10. Had a 1967 Impala SS that developed a vibration, my first car. Thought tires/wheel balance, did not fix it. My dad said he thought a U-joint was binding, removed the drive shaft and sure enough the rear joint was dry and locking up, was not loose, but tight. Back then we were able to buy a new joint for about $5.00 and he and I replaced it, vibration was fixed. Might be worth looking at the u-joints.
  11. I have owned many boats, rv's and vehicles, never bought any of them to 100% make money. I bought to enjoy that said item. I wanted the enjoyment that item would give me and my wife. Been blessed that our hard work and saving has allowed us the life style we have. Yes, a few things i bought did sell for a tad more than purchase, but that was not why we bought. We got the use, that was what we wanted, could afford and had the time to use. So when I decide to sell this Avanti conv, I will sell for whatever I can get at that time. Will I loose money, probably, but have enjoyed the car when we were out and getting thumbs up from others. Everyone has different wants/needs and desires, much is what they can afford. I figured we can't take it with us so might as well have fun while we are here to enjoy. t
  12. I didn’t buy my car with investment in mind, I just wanted one, and when it comes times to sell I’ll get what I can. Mike Exactly, these cars to me was not an investment vehicle, but something my wife and I wanted. When the time comes to sell it off, we will end up with whatever the buyer is willing to spend. I can say well it is worth SO MUCH, but unless the buyer comes up with that amount , it isn't worth that. It will be worth what the buyer and I agree to.
  13. Can not even count the amount of IS THAT A KIT CAR? What is it???questions over the years. The older folks, seem to know but anyone younger have no clue.
  14. WOW, not perfect but sure looks passable to me. Nice job you did.
