Geoff Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 There _WAS_ an Avanti I had wanted to float his (and/or Tim Allen's) direction … Too bad it wasn't my decision, and patience wasn't this person's strong suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Yep. I had bigger visions, though it would have taken a little longer which would have been fine because I was willing to put more time and effort into it. YouTube THE DRIVE channel and Mike Musto's show "Big Muscle," and TheSmokingTire channel with Matt Farah's show "One Take." Get a larger audience. Put everything out there.

Yes, that Avanti certainly was one of a kind...Hopefully it will be properly restored by its new owner, and displayed for all to enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lschuc Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Yes, when he was on a tour of the Studebaker National Museum he said that he would like to own a Super Lark/Daytona one day, but so far, has no Studebaker in his collection. (By the way, he was driven to the museum from his downtown South Bend hotel with me and Don Lindner, in Don's 2007 Avanti). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
