Never seen one like that. The original was made by Studebaker.

Avanti was a Studebaker....not sure when they quit making them, but it was a long time before 2007. I'm thinking that somewhere a car kit was out there to drop the Avanti style body on a Mustang Chassis. Not many people warmed up to the Avanti style, probably the reason only 12 of the kits were ever produced.

If you need more Studebaker info I have a contact that knows more about the Studebakers than anyone on the face of the planet.

My mom used to date a guy who had one with a 5.0 in it. Kind of ugly IMO.
