Thomas’s Laser 917 (write him at presidentthomasabinford@gmail.com), posted first last year, is built on an IRS VW pan with a Karmen Ghia front end (for the disc brakes). It’s got a transmission, but no engine. The fiberglass is in “pretty good shape for the age”, but it does need a full restoration of both the body, interior, and pan. He’s open to car, bike, or sandrail trades, and for cash is willing to let it go for just $1,500.
I think this is a modified Fiberfab Avenger [edit: yes, it is], but I’m not 100% sure so any feedback is appreciated. Maybe I’m just tired, haha. Anyway, it’s up for sale in the Hesperia at an asking price of $3,500 — write jjor8cer17@verizon.net if you’re interested.
Here’s a kit with a ton of potential — this Aztec 7 project car, largely unassembled, is for sale in the Tacoma, Washington area. Mark (marktindol@hotmail.com) is selling it for only $1,000 — a great deal in my opinion — and at that it comes with a licensed VW pan with drop floors installed, as well as the complete body with an intact and undamaged windshield (worth far more than the asking price). The fiberglass needs minor repairs in several areas, but I think this is a very viable project for someone to take over… To my eyes the Aztec 7 is an under appreciated car, and finished they’re very striking.
Here are lots of pictures of the various parts; write Mark if you have any questions or would like to buy it.
There’s an interesting DIY trike project up for sale on eBay right now (just about to end; #190281499267) in Sanford, Florida.
It’s described as 80% complete, and is powered by a 36×12V Sevcon PowerPak mated to an 84 volt D&D Sepex electric motor, with a 10 HP Carroll Motor Company diesel motor for hybrid running — the two engines are connected by a chain drive. It needs a new fuel pump and a linkage between the gas pedal and electric speed regulator, but other than that the driveline is complete. It’s got independent air suspension all around, and has an adjustable ride that sites between two and seven inches off the ground. The builder estimates that the car should get 216mpg, and it’s been tested at 35mph with an estimated top speed of 70mph.

Anthony (saintengland@sbcglobal.net) is selling a very nice looking Bradley GT II in Lubbock, TX. He’s owned the 1979 car for five years, and is sad to be selling it but needs the room and the money. He says, “It has been so amazing to own and drive around town. People break their necks on a double take when driving! It steals attention from any Viper or Porsche… This has happened more than once!”
In April 2007 Anthony installed a new 2110cc engine custom built by Strictly Foreign with Dual Webers carbs in April 2007, and less than a thousand miles have been put on the engine since (a $4175 engine by the way). The car comes with the owners/installation manuals, as well as a few boxes of spare parts, and to top it all off, a second Bradley GT II (minus the doors and roof) with a new pan, brake lines, brakes, A/C, and a rebuilt front end… $13,000 in cars for an asking price of $6,000.
The car has Lambo-style wheels (”Ultra”) and is painted in Toyota white. It’s always been garage kept, and it’s been registered and inspected the whole time Anthony has owned it. It jst needs some minor attention (a few of the gauges), but all-in-all this is a steal!
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.
