And the Marlin was the pre-sursor for that other man-made-marvel,,, the red-white-blue "Rebel Machine" 390/340HP...

Paul,
Original Avanti's were built with AMC motors but when the factory went under a Canadian group bought the mold and the rights to the name Avanti ll and powered them with Chevy motors.
