Ford.  Seeing the two episodes, I'm surprised he is such a Ford fan as a SBC sway would have been much simpler.

He probably wanted something different....If I wanted something different, I'd go with a '57-'58 Chrysler 392 Hemi.....Not for performance or handling...but for eyeball appeal at car shows!!:D

I suspect that Ed is referring to the one done by Kount's Kustoms in Vegas recently. It was white, as he referenced, compared to your referenced black one.

Yes, his white '63...I guess Mr. Cooper has owned a few Avantis!.....Nice write up & photo of this car in the latest Avanti Magazine (#197) pg. 9.:)

I thought that I had seen on Fakebook that Alice had also had a newer Avanti  convertible on the GM or Mustang platform. Does anyone know?

Didn’t an AOAI member…a minister in CA…buy a Trans Am blasted Avanti convertible from Alice Cooper some years ago?

           
Dec 26, 2006 2003 AZ-263451 (Unique) Jim W. Baize Ferrari Tour DeFrance blue exterior paint with Sandstone all leather interior and blue lettering highlights. Convertible with a tan top and the classic 350 cu in, 300 hp GM powertrain. Dash is burlwood and beautiful. As stylish as my other four Avantis, but more contemporary in looks. A fun, fast, head-turner! Formerly owned by Alice Cooper, with provenance.

Gunslinger, that's what I'm remembering.  Thanks Regnabob for pulling it up.
