The ad reads: 1983 Avanti. Nice original metallic mauve exterior, burgundy interior with Recaro seats. 305 engine, PS, PB, PW, PMR, RQB3637-305, 30,650 miles. $20,900

That ad doesn't say much. If it's as advertised, the price may be a bit on the high side to some, but considering what it costs to fix an Avanti that needs frame work or hog troughs, that may not be an unreasonable asking price. Avanti's after Nate Altman passed away allegedly suffered from indifferent quality control and less than sterling performance from the 305 engine, though that's not exclusive to Avanti's but pretty much across the board industry wide.

If everything is as nice as the ad says and all the power accessories work well, it's definitely cheaper than rebuilding a lesser car. You won't have a particularly collectible car (as Avanti's go) but a nice driver.
