This Avenger GT12 (contact wacotxman1@aol.com) is up for sale in Waco, Texas. It needs a lot of work (you’re basically just buying a body — although it looks to be in decent shape), but the price may be right at $1,000.
George thought he was selling an Avenger GT15X but because it’s mounted on a square tube chassis, not a VW pan, I think he’s actually selling a Fiberfab Valkyrie. The engine (a 110 HP Corvair 6-cylinder with a “Spider” Carter 4-barrel AFB and headers) runs and much of the hard work is done — he just finished installing the steering — but there is definitely still much left to complete it and any buyer should be mechanically competent. The car is located in San Jose. If you’re interested, contact George at boothandassoc@sbcglobal.net.
When it comes to original designs, the Bradley GT II is one of the most “production” looking kit cars out there — that is, it’s the least likely to be instantly identified as a kit. Mike’s got a nice looking one in the Portland, Oregon area, a ‘77 on a ‘72 VW pan with a 1835cc counterbalanced engine intended for a sand rail — “she is a rubber burner” he says. The gel coat is getting a bit rough, but everything’s there and it’s never been hit and the interior is solid. He’s had the car for fifteen years now and has had lots of fun with it, but is now looking for a new project. At $1,500 this car is a steal (it may already be sold by the time I post this) — write to Mike at sandman456******* if you’re interested SOLD!.
This car inspired by Death Race 2000 was built on the MTV show Fast Inc in an episode (8; “Death Race 2006″) where Mean Magazine wanted to do a shoot inspired by the movie. Instead of using a 70s Vette like in the movie, they decided to go with a second generation Aztec kit car on a VW chassis. The car is located in the Las Vegas area and you can write MLTJD@aol.com if you’re interested (watch for it on eBay soon as well). It needs new glass and a new motor and paperwork.
You don’t see that many kit cars for sale in Canada, so I thought I’d point out that an Avenger has just been posted to Kijiji (#84673164) in Devon, Alberta (near Edmonton). It’s on a 1600cc VW chassis and “runs great” but needs interior work.
Dom picked up an MBC/Embeesa Charger kit recently for the VW pan, so now he’s turned around and put the shell — which looks very clean and the perfect start for someone who’s looking to build one of these distinctive cars from scratch — up on eBay (#280303408504). The car is located in Wakefield, UK. The glass required for this kit is the rear glass (you’ll need two) from a Vauxhall Victor — other than that you’ll just need a VW Beetle donor and a lot of hard work.
I’m the current high bidder on this one, so how ’bout everyone ignore this entry.
My old tube-chassis Manta Montage was one of the nicest around, but this one that just hit eBay (#330300653568) in Brooklyn, NY is quite likely the nicest Manta Montage I’ve seen. And it’s been posted with no reserve, so nine days from now, someone is going to be very happy. It’s built on the Manta tube chassis with a 500 HP 455 V8 mounted to an automatic transmission and a rear end out of a Vette. Disc brakes all around, leather interior, tons of upgrades on the bodywork to make it look like a real McLaren M6GT, tilt steering, custom 3″ exhaust, lighted engine compartment, and more… the works. Seriously, this is the Montage to bid on. Like I said, I am.
