Rare! Rare! Rare! 1988 Avanti
Silver Anniversary Edition
Prototype
#2 VIN # 12AAV3242j1000209
This car is for the ultimate collector
In April of 1986, Michael
Kelly formed
the New Avanti Motor Corporation in South Bend, Indiana. Avanti
production moved to Youngstown, Ohio in the fall of 1987 and rumors of a
Special 1988 Silver Anniversary edition were circulating by November. This
would become the 3rd commemorative version of the Avanti. The 1st was the 1983
20th Anniversary car
and the 2nd was the 1984 Avanti Touring Coupe, (both Steven Blake's
idea).
Twenty-five cars were planned, then 50, but ultimately 27
Silver Anniversary Coupes were built: 2 red prototypes, (#1 became Michael
Kelly's (black interior) and #2 went to co-owner, John J. Cafaro) (red
interior) and
25
white production models.
This vehicle is a limited edition 25th anniversary LSC
which is a stretched version of the standard Avanti. Its wheelbase is 116
vs the standard Avanti wheelbase of 108. The fiberglass body sits on a
modified Chevy Monte Carlo chassis and includes a Chevy HO
engine, drivetrain, suspension, and brake components. The engine is
a 305 CID V8 including a Paxton Supercharger installed at the Avanti
factory as OEM equipment. This car is #2 of the red prototypes with blackout
trim, premium aluminum wheels with special 25th Anniversary wheel center caps and styled
front and rear bumpers.
The car is fully loaded and includes, among other things, a
very unique all digital dash
. It
also features front and rear mobile phones, originally built for the owners, Cafaro & Kelly. Digital instruments include Speedo, Tach, engine temp, voltage, vacuum, oil pressure, Supercharger boost, and fuel level. Not
all Anniversary cars have this digital dash.
Also included: tilt wheel, burl wood dash, shifter console and rear seat trim. Integral built in roll bar, power
