bobav78 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 The Avanti Motors website is longer available.www.avantimotors.com But, the Morrow, GA website is still running! www.avantiatlanta.com I just checked the Avanti Motors Website (9:55 PM EDT on Sunday July 29, 2007.) It is up and running - but showing different cars than about a month ago. They are featuring a metallic gray 2007 coupe and a white 2007 convertible. Maybe it was down for maintenance??? However, does anyone know if they have produced/sold any 2007 cars? I did meet a fellow in South Bend who had bought a 2006 in May from the factory in Cancun, but he said at that point no 2007s had been built. Here is the link to the Avanti Motors web site, again. http://www.avantimotors.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBCA96 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 If you live in California (or other pollution controlled State) be careful when buying an Avanti. Check with the DMV. A friend of mine who used to be in the Smog course at the local City College was recently told by his friend who runs the Smog Rep station that an Avanti came in the other day. He had to turn the car away as a FAIL (means cant be registered in Ca) because it did not have the proper smog documentation. Apparently Avanti leaves the info that Ford put under the hood, but its NOT being registered as a Mustang so the stickers have the "wrong" info. Bummer.

Tom I have a 2007 registered in Calif. as a 2007 Ford Mustang. The VIN # is that of a 2007 Mustang. I had trouble with smog check. I first failed due the Avanti printed label on the engine indicated there was a EGR valve, but the inspector could not find it and he failed me> Iwas sent to a state referee at Pierce College in Woodland Hills. The referee checked with a local Ford dealer and was told that the 2007 Mustang 4.6L engine did not have a EGR valve as did the 2006. He passed me and i was able to registewr the car.

SBCA96 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I can't imagine there are many Avantis around here, I wonder if you are the person the story was about. Details are different but its like the game "telephone" where the message changes. I am in Santa Barbara. Where was it you were failed?
