About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

From the Ron MacWhorter collection. Absolutely terrible original paint that's either fading, cracking, crazing, peeling or scratched on just about every square inch. Dirty original top, and the rear window so cloudy that you wouldn't be able to see out of it. Dirty underbody with leaves and twigs sticking out from various spots. Surprisingly sound interior, but there's a thin coat of dust on most of it. For a car built in 1989 with 13,682 miles on it, this despicable condition is hard to excuse. It looks like it was left outside for well over a decade.

Market commentary

One of the 400 or so Avantis built during the company's time in Youngstown, Ohio, and the majority of those were coupes. It's unusual as well as interesting, and is solid and complete enough for an Avanti fan to restore. This result was about what the car deserved.
