Kellison Astra GT on eBay, $600!

It’s already met the reserve, and honestly, I’ll be shocked if it goes much higher. It looks pretty complete though, and if you read the info below (click the “Astra GT” link above), you’ll see that if you buy this kit assuming nothing is broken you might be able to get it running over just one weekend. It’s a very simple car to put together.

Those are the shots from the eBay auction, and it’s Ite, #4636128020. Only two days of bidding left! Like I said, I don’t think the owner knows what a rare piece of US specialty car history he has here, so this thing’s a steal if you understand the basics of, say, using a wrench. No special tools are needed to finish this car!

No, it’s not a FiberFab Aztec…

This is actually a very similar looking Kellison Astra GT. When the car sold in 1966 (emulating GT40 styling in part), it was advertised as having a twelve hour build time using only basic hand tools.

  • Take off VW steering wheel and other simple components
  • Unscrew the bolts holding down the VW body and have a friend help you lift it off.
  • Swap the seats and other components.
  • Have a friend help drop the Kellison body in palce (this can all be done by hand) and bolt it on.
  • Apply the lights and finishing touches, and you’re done.

Ha, kit cars these days? Way too confusing!
