Thanks Gordon. I was at Mike's a couple times in the last few years and checked them both out. One was maroon inside, the other gray I believe or maybe it was maroon as well, I took some pictures...for sure not saddle

. I recall he took the time and hassle to get one legally registered, he might of sold it or the other one since that time, I forget where they were last. But it was cool to see them first hand, even as a parts donor you basically get a brand new interior and/or body. Think both had donor frames since Avanti took the rolling chassis out of the original SS. I also think he said he knows of some others out there, maybe not far from the Indiana area where the Avanti's were made.
I tried talking Mike out of one of the radio delete plates, first time seeing a 86-88 style one.
