What is the real weight

Did you even look at this thing before you bought it!?
Two years later......Time to sell it and MOVE ON.

Gill: yup, researched it pretty carefully and it came as close to what
I wanted as anything (couldn't find a new car with leaf springs - and
I'm half serious about that). I've whined here since I got it - mainly
little things like no glove compartment light, ashtray or lighter,
decent interior lights, no inside trunk release, joke of a "tilt
steering wheel" and such in a car that stickers at $33M. I consider the
fact that you absolutely cannot read the gauges - despite all the
ghee-whiz design and light effects - more serious......the question
should be, did anyone at FoMoCo drive one before they put them on
sale?!?!

--------

Frank: I have to have a "toy" in the garage in perfect shape........I'm
too old to maintain Packards and Studebakers anymore.....I sold my
Avanti to make room for the new Mustang: it had 17,000 miles on it, had
never been wet or out of the garage overnight. Yeah, I know: you're
supposed to drive them....and the next owners get the benefit of my
mania.

Speaking of which: my very first car was a '56 Packard: 4800 pounds,
305 horsepower, road like a dream, handled like it was on
rails.......even with the old technology and crude automatic, it always
got 14 mpg. Progress? And....you could read the guages and the body
didn't flex, lol !!!!!!

You sold an Avanti with 17k miles to make room for a Mustang?

Wow.

I hope you netted at least $15k after buying the Mustang outright...
