Vehicle Description

Rare! Rare! Rare! 1988 Avanti Supercharged Silver Anniversary Addition 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".
