Guest Avanti Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Anyone know for sure? I know the previous Cafaro Avanti's were based on the 3rd generation Caprice's, however the new longer and wider '91 Avanti had the '91 Caprice 5.7L LT1 motor so I'm wondering if the chassis and other mechanicals were also from the '91 Caprice. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Avanti Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I already did and got no response. My guess is they didn't have a clue of what I was talking about. It kinda makes me feel good to know I am so knowledgeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Avanti Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Those posts are referring to the '89 car, which was based on the third-generation Caprice. The '91 Avanti was a very different car. My question is if it too was based on the third-gen Caprice mechanicals or the fourth as pictured above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superior1980 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 There are a couple of the modern Avantis in my neck of the woods that I see at local car shows. Two of them, it appears obvious to me seeing them in person that they are heavily customized Camaros/Firebirds. A third one appears to be a heavily customized Mustang.
