NOS parts

Yesterday I got a phone call from a fellow looking for a NOS orange interior for a Avanti. When I tried to explain that those were long gone



20 years ago and that I was working on a close modern match, he insisted that he had to have NOS. He then went on to explain how rare and valuable his Avanti was and how much he was spending on a restoration at $85/hour. Seems he's in over 100K so far, hope it's a nice car.

What was rare about his Avanti John? Did Sherwood Egbert get busy in the back seat of it?

Maybe you should have told him how much you want to get out of the one you just got.......he would probably had a stroke while you were talking to him.

Hey!!!

I think my R2 4sped is pretty exceptional....

But not at $100k

Did Sherwood Egbert get busy in

At 6'4" or whatever he was, Sherwood Egbert would never fit in the back seat of an Avanti!!!

Hey! Getting in and out might not be a piece of cake...but I'm 6'4" and I can sit comfortably in the back seat of an Avanti. If I remember correctly, Loy and maybe even Dave sat in the back of mine and Dave might not be considered 'tall' but Loy is over 6' and is a pretty good-sized guy!

Of course, I've never "gotten busy" in the BACK seat...at least not yet!

I know one can sit upright in an Avanti, but I don't think he was talking about sitting.... I would assume "busy in the back seat" would involve trying to lie across, which would be rather tight, I would think!!!
