One thing I'm seeing as a soon to be buyer (mine arrives on the 13th) that all models are quite similar. Yes there are minor changes and even a driveline change at the end of the run, but the reality is, they are all so similar it hardly matters. To base a possible purchase on the small stuff is (to me) nonsensical. Now I'm receiving a 2002, and to me, At first glance they all look the same. To someone who goes into various specifics, it to me is near nitpicking. Yes there are differences, but yes they are minimal. I might add, the newer the model the more confusing the repairs will be on them. Anything after 2003 gets computerized to the point I don't want to mess with them. But that's a personal opinion and I'm "old school'' when it comes to Wrenching.

Ah Yes!!! I have a 2002 arriving on the 13th...Love these models. And then theres the ole standby Original...

WHERE's The PIX'S

Stacy ...Yeah I'm thrilled. This "IS: a car to be ''Driven'' and taken to car shows along with my '63' R2. Srss47 has been a pleasurable person to deal with thru this process. I've invited Him and His friends down to stay in my Tiny Home rental when the car comes thru. My Wife sez "Ya gotta get rid of something". ''Yes Dear!!!'' ... so my 928 Porsche needs to go. I'm running out of barn stall space anyway so it'll happen in the Spring. Maybe sooner. She keeps me straight and on the narrow path (but don't tell her that or she'll get a big(ger) head).

Srss47...Thanks for contacting me. It was a pleasurable conversation. Folks , It looks like I'll be the new owner of this Beautious Vehicle. We struck up a deal over the phone and are setting up a time to do the transfer. I'm sure excited to see this Baby in my Barn. Thanks Bro-Man! ...... Oh and Stacy... My Wife had a fit.. She's getting over it (I think)

Seriously... CONTACT ME !!! .... I'm very interested and have cash funds ready to buy.. Lets talk about how to make this happen. I am not even interested in discussing a price negotiation. The $19k is fine with me Dan O' 828-550-1629. LakeDesign.Dan@mac.com

Thanks. The problem seemed to cure itself 2 days ago.

Please contact me. I'm quite interested in this vehicle. 828-550-1629 e-at ... LakeDesign.Dan@mac.com. I understand it's Christmas Day but still am hoping to hear from You in one form or another.

Skip. What I noticed is there is no longer a "header bar" across the top, but instead a drop down symbol on the right where I can access the forum and other site features. It took a little thinking before I realized how it works but finally I figured it out. Being a New Owner of a AV R2, '63' and New to this site as well, I find it a very interesting source and for materials, parts and the likes. materials. Stude On!

So I mothballed Her for the Winter... Needs some minor tidbits and clean up, Next spring She'll be ready for the NC Mountain Twisty roads.

Roland, sorry for coming in to this subject at such a late date. The Hog trough is an issue and I'm hearing prices of around $1500-$3000 to have one done, Other than that, I wish I owned Your ride., Ya see, It is a perfect candidate for going Resto Mod. As it sits, I'm assuming a value of between $7k to 9k. If gone thru and with a general clean up and running down the road maybe $12k. I paid $16.5K for an R2 in pristine condition but it sat for many years, It has 85k miles and is a creampuff. That said, I think I stole the car but the seller and I weren't far from His asking price. I'm assuming what I have is worth $40k+. I've went thru the minor issues it's had, Should be good to go. So I'd peck away at the things it needs to be drivable and be careful on any funds I would put into it. What a story! You bought it back from the one who You sold it to years back? I can think of a few cars I've had that I would LOVE to own again. ''Road On Bro-Man!!''

Thank you. It change up on me about a week or so back and I was just wondering.. Stude On!

Well, it's not necessarily the Forum. It's the first page entering in and getting to the Forum itself. Hey at least I thank you for responding.

Well what I'm seeing on my end is no click options at the top of the page and 4 options as You scan down below the Avanti Car pix. I was curious if it's on my end or a change in the site setup. Also the sales or store option is empty,,, nothing to purchase.

Come on Guys... No Comments???

Hi Moderators and site owner(s). I LIOVE Your site. There have been some changes and a lot of information has been deleted over the last few months. I was wondering if things would return to their previous Glory and why the changes took place to begin with? Maybe it's on my end? Just a praise to y'all for being here. I frequent Your Avanti Forum on a regular (daily) basis just to keep up on what's out there. I'm new to the Avanti World and LOVE the cars ... all years... especially the last Firebird and Mustang format. I own a 63, R2 and am thrilled we have a source for info and a ownership to refer to. Thanks again, My Curiosity is just piqued.

I'm a fan of ALL model Avanti's and wether modified or not, they all have a place in my world. I have a 63 R2 everything original ... My friend has a Av 2 I think it's an 80's model, another acquaintance has a 63 with a 600hp LS based engine, a Tremec 5 speed and a Mustang 2 front suspension. He's out to hit 200mph on the Salt Flats. I personally would like to find a Avanti in poor shape and re-do it into a resto mod like the 3rd individual, and want it as a daily driver. I'm concerned my Original car may not be suitable for that purpose. So Modify On! Bro's!

I hate to say this but "Buyer Beware"..... and I've been screwed over a few times as well.

Gun... Yup, but I'm not so much talking width as I am height.

Thanks Dwight. Right now the car is sitting with a good 6" clearance. I want it down some.

Thanks..Gun.... That sorta sez it. Now i need to find what 60 series will squeeze in there.

Can someone tell me what the difference is from '70' series to '60' series? I'm assuming it's just the height of the tire. I'm wanting to very slightly drop the stance on my R2.

Hello all. In July I bought a '63' R2. I'm having many small issues with Her but she is a 'drivable car' (cept brakes need work) I'm certainly thrilled to join y'all of "Like Minds" and thankful to be around those of knowledge. """Lets Road!!!"""
