Was looking at this eBay ad for an Avanti II:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/avant...orcev4exp=true
Found this interesting tidbit in the ad: "Ive talked at length with the gentelman who now owns Avanti about whether I should replace the "hog troughs". I was told there was absolutley no need to as the body will not sag or crack if they are rusty, which they are. It seems there is a myth about the hog throughs. they are not structural, they are NOT torque boxes as some like to call them. They are just stamped steel body fillers, according to Avanti their only purpose was to have a mounting point for the roll bar. So your choice if you want to replace them, this car has run without them for over 25 years without any sagging or cracks."
Just who does own Avanti now??
