This 1971 Avanti II is being listed by the law firm of the previous owner. We came into possession of this vehicle in exchange for fees in excess of $20,000. According to the previous owner, this Avanti II has been given a frame-off restoration, a new Chevy 350 crate motor, a completely re-appointed interior with mint condition tan leather and beige carpets, new paint, new exhaust, new brakes, and a fully refurbished frame. The wheels/ rims are original to the car as are the interior switches and gauges. According to the previous owner, more than $28,000 has been spent in restoring this car. Our reserve is substantially less than what the previous owner spent restoring this Avanti. This Avanti ran extraordinarily well when it was stored approximately one year ago and a battery will be supplied to the winning bidder. We recommend towing the vehicle so that the fuel tank, engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluids can all be properly drained and refilled prior to running. The paint is flawless and the interior is as clean as a brand new car. It would be virtually impossible to purchase a run-down Avanti II and restore it to the same condition as this vehicle for anywhere close to the reserve price of this auction.
