just printed a picture of the new one;designed by one of the original stylists as if it had never gone out of production, but had progressed over time. Uses F-body GM drive lines. THAT is suspect for me since that platform is being discontinued soon is it not? At over 120,000, I don't see it as "bringing the Avanti back" as it is some run out of available F-body running gear. Scam or genuine attempt at production?#22 of 29 by Mr_Shiftright HOST

You know, you'd think that after so many failures with this car, someone would just give it up and let the original rest in peace as a very good try to build something unique.No, I don't think it's a scam really, just a misguided car lover probably. There are far worse crimes in the world than pursuing a flawed dream, that's for sure. What the hell, build it if you want to!

That's an Avanti Owner's Club question...they may have access to some factory records, but privacy issues may prevent you from knowing former owners.#26 of 29 new avanti by b4z

The car is not to bad looking, but the wheels are awful. They look like cragars from the mid '80s.Also the rear tires are to close to the fenders.
The big tires in the rearneed to be a size or two narrower.
Some bbs wheels would do wonders for the car.

Above, under 1987, "40 Limousines" were NOT Limousines, they were 40 stretched Coupes, stretched about 7 inches or so, with a longer roof. They somehow didn't look 'right' ! Kinda ungainly, and they were discontinued at the end of the '87 model production. There was one 4-Sale on Auto Trader around July of 2001.- « Previous
