Steve Blake commisioned Jay M. Roth to design a 1983 Anniversary Edition car. Officially, only 25 of the cars were produced, though the exact number is disputed (a few 20th Anniversary cars have out of sequence vin#'s including the prototype). These cars incorporated the first fundamental changes to the Avanti since the introduction of Avanti IIs in 1965. Interiors were black with gray inserts in the Recaro seats. 20th Anniversary insignia were installed on the glove box door and the front fenders. The engine was the 305 horsepower and the transmission was the 700R4. Use the Registration Form at the bottom of this page to register your vehicle. If you have an electronic file of your vehicle please e-mail it separately as an attachment to Add Image with your identifying data as the subject. Support TheAvantiRegistry© with an annual donation in any amount ($5, $10, $15, or $20 are suggested) and a "Certified Registration" emblem will be included in your registration. If your Avanti is already registered you can still add a Certified Avanti Registration emblem by making a donation. A different emblem design will be offered for each registry year. Click here or on the certification emblem for futher explanation.
