A modern interpretation of one of America’s most iconic hand-built sports cars, this 1987 Avanti Convertible is an exceptionally rare example of the final South Bend-built Avantis. Finished in elegant Cotillion White with a rich burgundy power convertible top and matching leather interior, this handcrafted grand touring convertible is documented as No. 81 of just 200 Avanti Convertibles produced for the 1987 model year, making it one of the rarest American specialty automobiles of its era.
Built on the dependable Chevrolet G-body platform, this Avanti is powered by Chevrolet’s proven 305ci fuel-injected V8 backed by a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission with computer-controlled electronic shifting, providing modern reliability with effortless cruising performance. Four-wheel power disc brakes, power steering, independent front suspension and luxury touring appointments make this Avanti equally at home on the highway or the show field.
Loaded with factory options, it features power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power driver’s seat, power convertible top, tilt steering column, cruise control, air conditioning, premium sound system with 10-disc CD changer, alloy wheels and full instrumentation. The handcrafted fiberglass body is accented by tasteful burgundy pinstriping, while the luxurious leather interior reflects the exclusivity expected from Avanti Motor Corporation.
Accompanying the car are its original factory sales brochure, customer order documentation, factory specification sheets and additional paperwork that help document its history and originality.
With fewer than 200 examples produced, documented production-number status, desirable factory colors and outstanding originality, this 1987 Avanti Convertible represents a rare opportunity to own one of the final chapters in the legendary Avanti story. Combining timeless Raymond Loewy-inspired styling with proven Chevrolet engineering, this is a distinctive collector automobile that stands apart from anything else on the road today.
