* Oops, when I first wrote this entry I read his query as “tilting” but he actually said “titling”… He bought the car with a bill-of-sale, but no title, and is looking for advice getting it titled for use in Illinois. Drop him a line if you know about that.

PS. Wondering about the last photo? Keith explains, “I also included a photo of the car prior to spending $5 on a can of red spray paint…” Seriously though, this car could be amazing if someone wants to put in some real effort.

As far as he knows, he’s the third or fourth owner, and says that every time he looks at it he finds another thing that a previous owners did “half assed”, so his current plan is to take the whole thing apart and rebuild it the right way… He’s said he’ll keep us updated!

This car is an early Aztec which claimed 100 mph on 40 bhp. It has a very low drag factor and with some extreme clean up is as good as anything entered in the Xprize with the same frontal area. It is well known that a conventional car that is very light and clean with a small motor will get over 100 miles per gallon. One established that at 114 miles per gallon in 1984 and is entered in the Xprize. I can’t decide to spend the time and money to enter since the rules are not established and they can easily favor hybrids or battery power cars, meaning you can not win with a conventional car, which makes the contest look foolish. I have an experimental water lubricated/cooled carbon motor concept I wanted to try and demonstrate in the contest, but its getting too late to throw all of this together without the formula. So I am thinking about selling the car and just making a proof of concept motor and letting it go to patents, which it has to at some point anyhow.

He’s located in Atlantic Beach, Florida. The car is on a VW pan with the Fiberfab subframe, but does not come with papers and is not currently running.

As with all Aztecs, this one is on a VW chassis. The engine is a 1600cc dual port, although the carbs have been removed if you’re wondering where the top half is — the buyer will have to complete the build. The car comes with two titles, a homebuilt title from West Virginia, and a ‘62 Chev title from Maryland that it’s currently on. It needs work across the board but is a good start (and is decidedly less work than the previous one), and is for sale on eBay in Charleston, South Carolina (#290245553954) for a starting bid of $2,000.

…but does it come with the ketchup bottle?

It’s built on a Corvair driveline mated to a VW chassis, but like the previously posted vehicle, it’s in rough shape (needs new floor, no brakes, engine work needed, and more) and has neither paperwork nor keys. Mike in Attleboro, MA is asking $750, which is what the tires and wheels cost him. This is the first generation car, which debuted in 1964 as FiberFab’s first original design, and the start of one of the biggest kit car empires in US automotive history.
