Dwight FitzSimons Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Those of us who aren't registered on Facebook can't see anything. I am not aware that any convertible Avantis were built in 1970. I assume someone has cut the top off? --Dwight (two '64 Avantis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight FitzSimons Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 But the car is a 1985, not 1970 model. I don't think the Avanti factory worked on that prototype for 15 years before releasing it. --Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
