The original Avanti had somewhat interesting bodywork, though as a car it was no great shakes and was built on a number of different standard sedan platforms. I really don't understand why someone would spend a bunch of money on a "tribute" car based on a 1962 design, though admittedly I don't understand why the big interest in the current crop of tribute cars which are somewhat cartoonish caricatures of the originals. Is there no originality left in the auto biz?
