Up until a year or so ago I knew where one of these trucks was at a marina never knew it was supercharged. Owner still used it around the marina. The truck is clean nice paint in good shape. Marina sold
Last year don’t know if the previous owner and truck is still around haven’t been back there

Also know of an all original 63 (I think ) avanti supercharged. Has original paint and everything, paints maybe a 7/10 but its original guy drives it still.

That’s awesome Cary you guys have some good taste in cars that’s for sure. They are certainly a cool car, I never realized the body was all glass on those til I saw this guys up close.

And I thought they all had ford engines but I guess not.
