1988 Avanti now in Central Illinois

Recommended Posts

For those of you in and around Bloomington, IL, I am the proud owner of my dad's Black 88 Avanti coupe. He passed away in October after owning it since new (he also had a 1971 Avanti that was sold for the '88).It has 32,000 miles on it and aside from stalling a 2 times early in the trip, it made the 130 mile journey from the suburbs to country with no problems.

If anyone knows any reputable repair shops in the region, pass it along. Due to a floaty ride, squishy breaks, and rough idle, it needs a little TLC from a good mechanic.

Thanks

Enjoy the car, it will be a great ride. As far as a mechanic, remember that it is essentially a Chevrolet so if you can find a shop that works on Chevrolets of that era, they can do these. Just in case you didn't know. Welcome and enjoy, Bob

I passed through Normal/Bloomington Friday and Saturday with my 89 Convertible going to a car show in Pekin IL at the Avanti's Dome. Stopped in at Avanti's Carry-out in Normal on the way back picking up Gondolas to take back home to Tinley Park.

Good luck on the weather as its raining/drizzling here in Norther IL today. The Twin Cities Cruisiers are getting and early start on Cruise nights starting this Saturday, 4/11. The Cruise Nights I go to in the Tinley Park/ Frankfort area aren't starting until May.
