Been looking at them. A bit confusing but thx for the tip!

Am not in North Jersey, but a couple of hours south -- Turmont, Maryland.  I have only recently decided to sell my 74 Avanti II, all original except for a repaint in the 1990s.  Am still writing up a description and pondering asking price, but thought I would respond to your post.

Asking price and editing still under ponderation.  And need to get some better/more pictures.  But this is what I have come up with so far.

1974 Avanti II. Original drive train, 400 cu in Chevy, T-10 4-speed trans, Dana 44 rear axle w/Twin Traction. Saturn Bronze Firemist with Gladstone Bittersweet vinyl interior.  69,000 miles since new.  Repainted original color in early 1990s; otherwise all original inside and out.  A/C, PS, PB, electric windows, Nardi tilt wheel, Lucas fog lights, rear defogger. 1990s-era Sanyo AM/FM/cassette (original Blaupunkt comes with car). New Diamond Back tires on original Magnum 500 wheels.  New fuel pump and hoses; rebuilt carb, fuel tank boiled out and sealed.  Halogen headlights.  Front bumper guard shortened. Was either the last or next-to-last Altman Avanti with 4-speed.  Briefly owned by Steve Blake in 1980s and was supposedly the car that convinced him to bring back the 4-speed when he bought Avanti Motors.

One owner since 1992.  Always sleeps in climate-controlled garage. Never been in rain.  Very solid hog troughs and frame.  Comes with original sale paperwork and all service records since 1992.  Everything works, except A/C needs to be recharged – drive anywhere.
