Look what I found

[Captain Billy]

Not the sign......63R2808 hiding under all that stuff....last plated in 1971

[medium_jon]

Wowza! So much stuff!

[Guido]

Does it remind you of my place in Louisa?

[mbstude]

I think I'd leave that one right where it is.

[Captain Billy]

Well Matt....this time I'm going to have to disagree
A couple of hours with the buffer and some goose grease.....voila, (that's French for holy shite)

[ddub]

Looks like the scene of an earthquake!

[studejohn]

Well, tell us more about this incredible Avanti you have unearthed

[studejohn]

I would sure love to have that sign in the background. That’s a fabulous find on its own

[studefan]

Tell us about the convertible sedan in the background.

[StudeRich]

Jeff, you see a Convertible 4 door Sedan in Billy's Photo ???

[studefan]

Rich, I think so. Looks between the sign on the wall and the gold Avanti. Looks like a convertible sedan of some sort to me (however not positive given the single picture).

[mbstude]

Bill, if you're in the buying market, I've got a deal for you!

[Dwight FitzSimons]

Minus the wheel covers.

[Captain Billy]

I'll bring my buffer down in November Matt.....then we'll talk

Capitan Billy, I found ours in 1988 that hadn't been driven or started since 1975, poured gas in it, fired it up and blew all the critters and stuff out of the pipes, drove it 9 miles to the house and left a stream of ???? all the way home my wife and son said ( they were following me ) , lol. It had been outside the whole time partially under a tarp behind the owners house in Nashville, TN. The oil pan was completely full with mostly old gas to the top of the dipstick almost , so I figured I'd ruined the engine after I drove it home. I took it apart, measured and cleaned, put it back together with new bearings, gaskets, and rings, and we drove it as a regular car and even raced it at the drags a lot until we sold it in 2009. Oh, I blew a coat of paint on it after driving it the 1st year to work just to change the color. Can't kill them babies !!! Great find and congrats ! This is after I'd cleaned it up some, look kinda' familiar ? Perhaps those gold ones are more reliable, lol. The red pic is several years after I'd painted it.

I want to know how long it took you to get that out of there! Dang! Enjoy your treasure!

[2R5]

The sign is more impressive 🤷♂️

[Captain Billy]

Be kind Bob.....i't my first Avanti....I need all the emotional support I can get

[Buzzard]

Maybe that's why he had the engine.
