Adam in Sacramento, California is selling this red ‘72 Avenger for $6,000 OBO. It’s built on a VW chassis with a ‘65 Corvair Turbo Spider driveline, updated Pertronics ignition and a Kevlar clutch, and the whole car has been rewired. The interior has Corbeau GTA low back seats, and it has new power windows and remote door poppers. The car needs minor attention but “runs and drives well” — contact Adam at amenscat@hotmail.com.
I totally forgot I had this stash of photos from Carlisle! Here’s a great looking black Fiberfab Avenger GT-12 for starters.
I got this rather confusing set of pictures from a fellow Canadian kit car owner wondering exactly what he has. I’m 99% sure it’s an Avenger variant (either official or modded), because every line of the car appears to be correct except for the strange connundrum of the missing hood scoops. I can’t find reference to FiberFab ever having made an Avenger without scoops. Anyone have any information on what this car is?
It’s on a ‘65 Beetle chassis, and is made up of a main body shell, two door shells, the tail cone, a dash, and a rear panel.
This father-son Avenger projects has, among other customizations, blacked out headlights, a custom sound system and interior including a full computer, and a 3.8L V6 conversion. It was the first of I think five or six Avengers and Valkyries that made it to Carlisle 2006 (or at least that I saw there).
Carlisle ‘98… These pictures are thanks of Scott B., starting with this sweet pair of Fiberfab Avengers. The red one is powered by a turbo V6.
Or check out a pair of unrelated cars both built on race-inspired V6 tube chassis. The car on the left, a Cimbria (I believe now marketted in a slightly improved form as a Neria, but I don’t think the company is truly active). The car on the right is now-defunct Warp 5’s demo Manta Montage.
And I’ve got to admit, I have a real weakness for the fancy-topped Sterling:
(Note the Mini 18 in the background!)
It’s built on a ‘66 VW chassis, and is relatively stock other than the custom paint job. If I recall correctly it ended up selling for about $1,500. Seriously folks, one of the reasons I got into kitcars in the first place is that I knew that it was the only way as a 16-year old (I didn’t have parents that bought me everything) I was going to get to drive a sportscar until I grew up.
My old friend (ok, I call everyone I talked to in the original days of PoHT my “old friend”) Nelson Weber started building this pretty Fiberfab Avenger in 1969 and finished it a year later.
He’s driven it about 25,000 miles in total, and since the original build he’s put it on a ‘73 chassis (which was about 10,000 of those miles). When he sold it for about two thousand dollars it was in good shape, road ready (and recently licensed), and still had all the original manuals.
