wdaly Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 Let's see - that only leaves 26 or 54 and you said, "it would surprise". That could only mean Fifty-Four! 🤔
Geoff Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 I just inadvertently gave everybody else the ol' 50-50 from 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' 😁

That could only mean Fifty-Four! 🤔 YES!….Kind of hard (for me) to believe … The info came from a 2012 for sale ad in TW… seller claiming his Avanti being one of 54 South Bend converts!
John Hull Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 When I have some spare time I will check the actual production records. Using a TW ad as a source is a new one on me and is dangerous to even reference because as Abe Lincoln said If its on the Internet it must be true Regards

regnalbob Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 It is estimated that between 166 & 200 1987 Avantis were built. The total number of convertibles is estimated to be 44 or 54. Hopefully John can verify if any of the numbers are correct and put an end to all the misinformation.

Also, until Mr. Hull determines if 54 is the accurate count or not, do not use the word “misinformation”.
