Description
A very rare Chrysler Avenger 1. 6GL finished in Imperial red with just under 40, 000 miles and only 3 local owners from new.
Bought new from the local dealership less than half a mile away from its eventual homes, the car has enjoyed a pampered and sheltered life... it even retains both sets of original keys and leather dealer key fob.
Ziebarted from new, the car was always well maintained by a local mechanic, who would eventually end up with the car.
After a period of storage, in 2019 the car underwent a photographic restoration to a 'better than new' standard. Very little metal work was needed, but it was treated to a pair of brand new genuine wings.
After the car was fully disassembled the underside was sand blasted, repaired, 3M stone chipped and painted on a rotisserie.
The rest to the exterior was repaired and repainted in the original colour. Original fitment coach lines were sourced, along with any new trim that could be improved upon.
The interior was retrimmed and new rubber door and window seals were used throughout.
The original 1. 6L engine was refreshed with new gaskets and repained in the correct shade of blue. The original radiator was refreshed and the hoses checked and changed as necessary. On the single Stromberg carburetor, standard electronic ignition and stainless sports exhaust, the power produced is more than enough to keep up with modern traffic and similarly equipped vehicles of its age.
All of the mechanical components we're dismantled, inspected and restored with new components used where necessary.
It has had a couple of upgrades from its original dealer specification, including Halogen headlamps, a full custom made stainless steel sports exhaust system, additional passenger mirror, 5 optional Rostyle wheels wearing 175/ 70/ R13 Toyo tyres and now running silicone brake fluid through the rebuilt braking system.
Also included with the sale are a dealership repair manual, dealership parts list book, dealership service bulletin folder and various brochures, period literature and regalia. There are a number of items kept after the restoration as spares that will also be included.
Loss of storage has forced the sale.
Specification:
1. 6GL standard spec engine, Halogen headlamps, dealer fitted black vinyl roof, drivers door mirror, optional passenger door mirror, five optional Rostyle wheels, Chrysler push button stereo, quartz-activated clock, full sports six pod instrumentation to include; large speedometer and rev counter, oil pressure gauge, voltmeter, water temperature gauge and fuel gauge. Since the restoration the car has attended numerous local shows with much attention and appreciation, but its now time to let a new enthusiastic owner enjoy its pleasant charm and aura.
Viewing is obviously advised, but once seen and its unique story heard, its hard to ignore the way it makes you feel.
