This has never been damaged.The doors, hood and trunk fit as they did from the factory.The glass is still clear.The chrome has held up well for 56 years old.The rubber moldings are still soft.This has checking in some areas with touch up and the drivers rear quarter panel had stains from gas spilling. We blended the paint on that area and the rest of the paint on this Avanti is factory. The underside has no serious rust and the hog troughs are solid.

The interior is all original except we replaced the drivers seat cover and the carpets.The instruments all work properly.The dash lights, back up lights, horn, turn signals, brake lights, tail lights, head lights, wipers and interior lights work.The radio does not play.

The motor starts and runs smoothly.The original T10 4 speed shifts well. Factory power steering and the first American production car to have disc brakes.brakes. 3.73:1 Twin-Traction rear end. The Paxton centrifugal supercharger was sent to John Erb in Carson City, Nevada and he rebuilt it with a high-performance impellor. This has that wonderful whistle sound.It has remarkable power.
