Had a very Avanti week...went to local cruise night & saw / met the owner of an 
07 convertible (Andre from Canada) whose car I had caught glimpses of in town over 
the past couple of years...silver with grey interior (Mustang interior is much
 nicer than earlier Trans Am)...he said it was the last Avanti built in Ga. before 
the move to Mexico. Went to the B-J auction in WPB yesterday, surprised to see 83 
Avanti sold Thurs. night (I hadn't watched it yet on my DVR)...I've seen the car 
on Ebay & the Johnstone web site...odd combination of 83 transition to 84 
styling...painted mirrors & different seats than my 82's Recaros...strangest 
styling item was glassed in front turn signal/parking lights with what looked
 like cheap aftermarket trailer turn signals hanging from the bumper...strange
 & not very attractive...anyway, it sold for $22K with 10% buyers premium so at
 least Avanti II values may be inching up along with the original 63/4's
