bsoder Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Saw this kit at the show and had to do it!..I've always thought this was a cool car, and had a lot of fun with this
Nick F40 Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 haha I wanted to post before Clay. I really like it actually, impressive little car. Were these rwd? I forget. I never knew they had dual exhaust.
Raul_Perez Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Very nice build, Brian!! You're going to have to lock it up good and safe if Clay ever comes to visit!
MrObsessive Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) Beautiful Avanti! I used to see these every now and then as a kid and have always loved 'em! I'm a Studebaker guy at heart as I love all the Hawks, 1959-61 Larks, and Avanti's. Nick, they were definitely RWD! These were built long before the automakers knelt to the altar of Front Wheel Drive...............but that's slowly starting to change now. Edited March 19, 2008 by MrObsessive

Aaronw Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Very nice, when I was growing up there was someone in the area with an Avanti, not sure where but I'd see the car going down the street from time to time. Very unusual car and from what I understand pretty fast too. I had a kit of one of these at one time but like many of my old kits I have no idea what happend to it.
marinewifejones Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 BEAUTIFUL!!! The Avanti is by far my all time favorite car ever! When I was little my dad had an Avanti that I always called my car (we are talking like i was maybe 2) but he had to sell it and i had to live life for many years with out an Avanti (a very sad time). I have often threatened to name a little girl Avanti (this little girls name is going to be Amelia but if we get pregnant again with another little girl i just may have to name her Avanti)
James Flowers Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Been along time since I've seen one of those built. A friend of mine had real one along time ago. He had some Hawks and Larks also. Nice looking build you have there. I have a couple I need to build some day.
