Alexander ◊ 2006-06-12 19:04	Quoting from here: http://www.theavanti.com/Convertible.html "The first prototype was made by Richard Straman in California from a 1982 coupe (serial number RQB3370 [...]). This car was filmed by director John G. Avildsen for the 1984 film, The Karate Kid." Therefore we can call it a 1982 Avanti II Convertible Prototype.
