Avante II

[lupi]

Just passed a vehicle that looked like this was the name plate on the back, but not 100% sure. Rather ugly little bastard though. Looked like some wanna be sports car from the 60's, like a really poor mans stingray or something. Anyone have the exact name?

It looks kinda evil, like Stephen King designed it. Rather unfortunate front end.

Because it's just a mustang with nasty bodywork.

The front reminds me of an Olds Toronado.

They've been making those in very small numbers since, I think, the mid-60s. They were ugly then and they're ugly now. I don't know what they sell for, but I'm sure it must be north of $50K, and even half that amount is infinitely more than I would ever pay.

Here's a thread about them http://forums.themustangsource.com/f647/avanti-mustang-478180/

I pass it on adjacent lane to the right. From back it didn't look great, side was ok, front was hideous. Hood scoops down like they didn't want the grill big enough to actually cover up the radiator.

The Instrument panel is rather weak, but I like the Interior.

The current one? It appears to be stock Mustang with a bunch of fake-wood applique. To each his own but it hurts my eyes.

I don't like the Dash either, meant to say that. I think it's real wood, it's just not used well.
