Let me add, thanks for posting this. I'm grateful for the ride-along since its as close as I'll ever get to actually driving one of these beauties myself.

I can't believe he refers to this car as big. It really isn't. It's actually fairly narrow. It's built on the Lark convertible chassis, and the Lark was considered a compact car. I'm glad it's not bigger than it is. My house is fairly old, with a garage added on in 1950, which is pretty narrow, and my Avanti barely fits in it.

The most under rated & low priced collector car. Very advanced for its time.

I just purchased an Avanti ll 1982 with 95,000 miles a two owner car, the body is in great shape, 305 Chevy engine automatic. Interesting insurance cost is for full coverage driving less than 3,000 miles a year is about $ 350.00 a year used for car shows etc, full coverage about $ 2,700.00 a year,

An amazing car with an amazing design! Nice clip 👌👍

[@kreppaeppl1447]

One of the most underrated cars.They will certainly still be very popular and their value will increase

[@neildickson5394]

Stunning and timeless design. Still looks modern today, and a 63 Thunderbird does not. Looks like an Electric car being grill less, and this is a 60 year old car!

Art in motion!

Excellent video.

I so much want this car… Unfortunately, I’m in Europe and my budget is limited.

[@user-ki2cl9xe8z]

It's PRETTY! I want it! Do you know of any bank I can rob?

[@richardkryston2990]

Look at the dimensions. The Avanti is the original "pony car" years before Ford's Mustang saw the light of day... but the Mustang was in production for years before they shoe-horned a 240 hp engine into it. It started out with a 200 cid SIX or a 221 cid V-8!

No ?s only comments.

If you sold this car how much did it sell for?

[@tedlawrence4189]

I have one that my Grandfather bought new from Newman Altman. It is white with red int. R1 automatic. Has orig. paint & interior and engine. 35,000 miles. Not terribly valuable as it is not supercharged.
