dynolou2 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 What year after 1974 was a manual transmission offered for the Avanti? For bonus points how many cars were so equipped? Super bonus points what was the cost of this option? Lou Cote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'd guess the answer to the first part of your question to be 1983? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfg Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Was it possibly 1984? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 There was one 1983, a prototype for the 20th anniversary that had a manual transmission, but one is seldom enough to count. 1984 had more than one manual, I don't know exactly how many.

dynolou2 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 The 20 th anniversary car formerly owned by northwesterner Steve Hudson, according to him was returned to Avanti Motors to be converted from automatic to the T 5 transmission. That car now resides in Georgia. I saw it at the 2012 national in South Bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynolou2 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 It was 1985, any one want a try at the bonus questions? John Hull's books and Turning Wheels issues March 1996,April 1996 ,and July 1996, will aid your research.
