Ok... Not for me.. Free shows or ones with a $20.oo entry fee are fine.

True.. but many are attending from across Country..Many are spending to trailer out, and the choice of California is cash cow to start with.,

Said it before.. I'm in this for the profits (and I enjoy automobiles) When events like this happen, it might be a fantastic thing, but to spend a few $$thou. just to attend an event,...I'm just not in the position to afford that opulence...or want to if able. It eats into the bottom line hard. By the time , either I trailer a vehicle (or a shipping company does) eats up a half a $$thou+..Registraton and what not, Hotels, then California and everything there costing too damned much.... I can see $2000+ just to walk around and talk Avanti..I can do that for No Cost at the Free Shows Before I even gave the idea a thought, it got shut down in my cranium. This is NOT SEMA... it's just a show of like minds,

I won't attend. The whole Car Show thing is turning in to an Elegant Money Pit. Many are transporting via trailer and spending on costly Hotel's . Sorry, but for me, it's gotten out of hand. ..... We have a Maggie Valley NC Studie Show.. which costs nothing. I'll be attending that one.

Ernie. Paint fade and age makes all of that senseless.. Just get it scanned.

Value sounds right.. I wouldn't take less than $50k for mine and IF I put it up asking price would be closer to $55K+. Anything with low numbers under 400-500 is like gold and these cars were only 30-40 a year in production names.. Add to that, the sportiness. It all adds up.

Ron. Your fortunate to even have a window sticker showing details (including paint color).. The only way I knew my paint color was from Your info (emerald green)., but as You state, the only way to match with paint fade and other issues over time is a ''scanner''.

Seems there likely isn't an answer out there. There are a number of unanswered issues with these cars.

Go ahead and find em. I want them to turn profit.

John ... Thanks for posting this. I understand Your scenario and relation to the Avanti Brand and I am extremely thankful for You filling me in on a few items in the past. Also Your Book is a Godsend to Us in the Avanti world... My frustrations are of minimal consequences but still frustrations..I would like info on the Build... maybe a Build Sheet or other such info. Is that required? NO! Coming up on age 72 I understand the age and frustration on complaints. If I've done so, forgive me.. So I own a ''02'' model and Love It.. It is my understanding that Ron Manfred has offered to help go thru Your paperwork. If He seems to be an upstanding individual maybe You Two can work on this info.. Thanks again for the Beautiful Vehicle. Dan O'

Agree.. Makes sense

Ok then..

Some cars have come down,, others. seem to rise. You can't make a general statement on the entire Collector Market.

You ask for X and anticipate Y.. and if it falls to less than Y, ya don't sell and find another method to advertise. Disagree that $25-30K is a sellers price for a car of that caliber.. It definitely is a Buyers price.

Pretty car, but I would start at $40k... maybe higher. After all, it is a original R1. Anything in the $25-30k range seem to need some work and has some minor flaws.
