Avanti Pouch!

I believe it was for tools for any car equipped with wire spoke wheels. It's a nice touch whether one has Borranis or other wire wheels. I keep a flashlight in mine...nothing else though.

My '79 has the tool pouch and came with wire hubcaps. No tools though.

I intend to correct that as I get the car ready for spring and road trips

and local cruise events.

In a side note while getting the jack and spare tire well ready for a spare, I found the

original lug wrench still in place in a recess in the trunk floor to the left of the tire well,

and covered with glued down original factory shag carpeting

Never used. A little rusty but still there.

Who knew.

I found a 1.5 ton scissor jack at Harbor Freight for $20. Perfect.

I did have to modify a longer jack handle I had on hand as the one that came with the jack is only 20" long.

Now I have one 40" long.

Another "find" was a piece of masking tape on the underside of the tire well cover adjacent to the jacking instructions

with the numbers "2897" on it.

And the same numbers written in grease pencil on the underside (trunk side) of the rear package tray.

This car is so original and pristine I am amazed that it is 36 years old and still so well taken car of..
