This Avanti has it all and gets compliments everywhere I take it. If you want an Avanti that looks good that you can actually DRIVE, this is the Avanti for you.The RamJet 350 is a GM Performance fuel injected crate engine. It makes 351 HP at 500 RPM and 403 LB-FT of torque at 3600 RPM.The RamJet 350 comes with a diagnostic tool and an extensive manual.
Yes... There are cheaperAvantis. Buy a cheaper one if you wish to spend your weekends fixing instead of driving. Buy my car if you want to DRIVE and look good doing it. This car is built to drive with all thetemperamental annoying aspects of a car built 40 years ago replaced with modern technology. Avanti meansforward after all!
Currently the car does not have A/C installed. It is set up to easily install it. If you pay my full asking price I will have the A/C installed prior to youtakingpossession.
I will accommodate inspections and transport at buyers expense. The mileage shown is the number since I changed the gauges. Actual miles are unknown. The new engine has less than 1000 miles on it! Also note that this 1973 Avanti has the vin number RQB-1973!

I would consider a trade arrangement for a Grand Wagoneer, 2006 Jaguar XK8 Convertible, Or a Pontiac Solstice.
I have the frontbumper. It is available for purchase as a core to be rechromed if you want to put it back on.
