I was making the 85 mile trip from southern Lakeland to Eustis to look at a '57 Dodge for work. While driving up FL-19 in Lake County, I see a guy in a business driveway with a ratty Avanti being flat towed behind it. It looked like he had pulled off because of mechanical problem. I turned around and went back because I'd hate to leave a fellow Studie stranded.
So I go back and the building belongs to the guy with the Avanti. He was just pulling the car out front to put a 'For Sale' sign on it. He's also trying to sell a '41 Commander 4-dr as well. As he's not hooked to the web and not a member, I figured I'd post these here in case someone might be interested.
The first car is a 1964(?) Avanti. While it needs a complete restoration, it is 99% complete. It's an R1 car with a 4-speed. No A/C. He's looking for $3500 or best offer.
The 2nd car is a 1941 Commander (Skyway?) 4-door sedan. This car is ruuuusssssstttttttyyyyy. The engine looks great with everything in place. The interior is a mess and the rubber is so bad that the rear window fell in by itself onto the package tray. The body code is a little different than I've seen before (11AB-7). I know this is a Commander (11A) but what's the rest mean? Anyways, he's asking $2500 OBO. I told him this was unrealistic as this looks mostly like a parts car at this point. He said if no one will pay for it, he'll let it sink...[xx(][V]. I'm sorry these pictures aren't great, but with all the weeds and other crap around it, I couldn't get a clear shot of it.

Nice pictures, Tom, seriously. Considering those prices, did he offer you a pull on whatever he was smoking?[:0]
