        Interesting 8-track installation. Was that from the factory?

          You know, I've never seen a Pro Street Avanti.

            Yep...that's how the factory installed them.

              Yep. My '72 had it that way too.

                Avanti Motors did the best they could with what they had. Not exactly an elegant installation, but it did the job.

                  Looks to be in fair shape, nice color scheme and interior. Hope it finds a good home.

                    At least it spared the dash!

                      Another "Threat Sale".

                      It is a bit of an unusual Car, it appears to have Original Full Vinyl Interior, not Leather or a custom ordered Cloth like most.
                      Looks like everything is a Tan/Gold Vinyl. Also I don't believe all years of that build/era had THM400's.

                      By the looks of that Engine compartment RUST, it sure doesn't seem like it was always in a dry climate.

                      The Body has serious issues around the rear glass and of course the rough Paint, but still a good deal.
