It's in good hands, 64Avanti. Appreciate You.

Good points Gun.. The generations after '64' I really had little knowledge of..Glad You could fill in. ( I better learn fast since I just bought a '73' with a 400ci sb., turbo 400 tranny..doubt that combo was stock)

63-64 were original Studie.. 65-89ish (or whatever the end of production was) were Chev small blocks. '01 -04 were Pontiac Firebird TA 05-06 were Mustang GT. The 65 and up series are the Best Buy since the prices are relatively low and the upside is the GM driveline is a easy car to find parts for. Hope that helps

So on the ''Vehicles for sale'' section... a '73' was listed. I bought it this past weekend It WILL become a derivative of that Photo.... I expect to do this for around $10k.

Thanks guys. Hope to hear more experiences.

Bought it. Thanks Dave.

Folks... I'm running up against a wall. I need to sell 2 and maybe 3 vehicles... I'm looking at B.A.T. but some of You have talked about Brokerage Firms and saying they charge around 10-15% (which is fine). Then there is Hemmings.. I've purchased from ''Streetside Classics'' in Atlanta in the past, They seem reputable.. So basically I'm asking who You all use and what Your experiences have been ...from a good and bad standpoint. Seems I'm very good at the purchase side of things, but kinda suck at selling.

Nice stance

My reason for posting the Pix really doesn't matter if it's a AI Gen or not. The concept is totally do-able and really not a stretch. Wide Body Kits,, basically the fender flares are not cost prohibitive and are available in fiberglass... A easy thing to adapt to our already fiberglass cars.. Then wheels and tires and about a 3" drop. Might as well use new drop spindles and the likes for the rear. An easy project overall. Ron.. That Pix is way too extreme and a flared mess. Cut em in half as far as depth and Ya got something.

Yeah, I'm not much for the metal structured fin or front air dam either., but would rather see a creative painted and well formed metal made structure. But the stance, wheels, tires and fenders are quite nice. I had been considering my '63' as a daily driver (cept winter and salted roads) I have my concerns doing so with a stock vehicle as this one is. BUT... To take a post '64' with a Chev V-8, and buying one for around $12k in need of resto, would leave a lot of financial room for modding up something like this...... My '63 would easily sell for around $40k... leaving a lot of financial room to turn out something like this. Bet it could be done for about another $10-12k out of pocket.

I saw this Pix on Facebook, and it is SOOO tempting to do one of these. I would NEVER cut up my '63' since it's 99.5% stock and that would be a Butchering.. But maybe there's a Project in my future.

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.
