breakout, coupes vs converts

[arkus]

per john hull's book there were 158 1989 avantis built, starting with #400, thru #557. bob johnson has ken kidwell's blown '89 as #563!  we all know the avanti numbers aren't etched in stone; could there be a documented breakdown between the number of coupes built vs converts? educated guesses welcome also.

I think that there were more convertibles than coupes for 1989.  I do not know how "educated" that is.  I partly based it on an AOAI Roster.

Only if someone retained the original Youngstown production records for that period of time.

Stranger things have happened!

looking at the aoai roster and pictures it appears that the kidwell car was entered twice, once as #536 and then as #563, the last two numbers apparently transposed. a great looking car but probably shouldn't be there twice!

Thank you!  Until confirmed otherwise, I will assume that it is 536.  I have noticed other Avantis entered twice.

Thanks for the heads-up / Always nice to have a 2nd pair of eyes on things / With the amount of data hat goes thru here, it's not hard to make a typo / It's been changed to -0536 until I get a verification from Ken...
