The Avanti is TERRIBLY close to the H2.I wonder who they are getting their frame/engine combo from?I clicked the link to their site and it just said diesel or V10.

(Oh yeah I put my glasses on!!!

Putting the 85 grand aside.I think they did a good job in making it look like the original (coupe).The vert YUK!
Its ok what about that company that redone Mustangs and cougars?What was it Excalibur?They didnt even change the doors!
