Search didn't produce much. I'm particularly interested in the Avanti with the Freightliner chassis. Are they all still on the dealers lot? Anyone own one? Thanks!

i have not seen an Avanti on a FCCC MC-L Chassis however it has a Cummins 6.7L ISB Engine according to Press Materials at the last RVIA Show.

I assume I'm the only owner of a Damon Avanti on this forum? I purchased the 2806 last week and am getting familiar with it (that means I'm fixing things). Have to say that the fit and finish is surprisingly good. I hate to pioneer, but here I am.

appreciate your input. Thanks

Are you looking at the Workhorse Avanti or the Freightliner Avanti?

The Cummins would be on the Freightliner MC-L Chassis.

I saw the heading and though that you were talking about a REAL Avanti.

I always loved those cars.

1963 Studebaker Avanti

Me too. A friend of mine (only child, wealthy family) had one when we were in high school.
