Welcome and good luck!

I doubt if Kelly made 300 cars in 1987. Owners of Avanti were know to "skip" serial numbers, and especially Kelly.

Keep us updated.

That's is very interesting. Do you have any proof of this? Or is it just rumor's? The more I talk about this car the more I'm starting to like it. And that is not a good thing, I may find myself in a lot of dept. LOL!

Can I request to see some pix of your car's? I 'd love to see what the people out here have.

One more thing guys. I know sometime's these things shouldn't be asked on boards. But curious minds wonder. How much do you guys consider this car to be worth? Before and after resto?

Thanks

Welcome to the group! There's a lot of experience and help here so don't be afraid to ask questions.

I don't know the number of convertibles made, but it's not very many...certainly less than 100 and that may well be a generously high number.

It definitely looks like a project car but it's worth saving. If I'm not mistaken, it's built on a Chevrolet chassis...either a Monte Carlo or El Camino but hopefully someone else will give more accurate information. Being a Chevy platform rebuilding the chassis shouldn't be much of a problem. Most drive train parts will be standard GM as well. It's the body and interior stuff that can drive you crazy sourcing.

Your best bet for many parts will be Dan and Betty Booth at Nostalgic Motors. They seem to be the best source of parts and information for the late South Bend and Youngstown Avanti's.

Again...welcome and don't be afraid to ask questions, and keep us advised of the progress...and TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES! Besides it documenting the rebuilding process, it can help a lot of others who may be tackling their own project.

Thanks for the welcome. I will take a ton of picture's, trust me I'm infamous for that.

Do you have a link or phone number to reach these people you speak of? To start we will need a few interior parts and a new tail light.

I think it's a Monty Carlo frame, I did a little research on them and found http://auto.howstuffworks.com/avanti-cars2.htm

Well, guy's I was trying to get on here for the last week or so. LOL! I finally had to contact one of your members throw youtube so he can try and help me out. It turned out my email's were going to spam, LOL! I hate that. But I'm finally here.

Were to start? Well, a buddy of mine asked me to help him find some part's and info on this Avanti he found. It's a 87 convertible. Now I did a little research and found that in that year only 300 were made in total and the majority of them were hard top's. Does anyone here truly know how many Vert's were made?

Here's the pix I have of her, I tried my best so bare with me. Also please keep in mind the car was sitting for a long time. And if I were to tell you cats how much he paid, I think you'll shoot the last owner. LOL!

Thanks
