Vehicle description
For the old car fabricator / car hobby mechanic up for bid is my Ford GT40 tribute kit-car manufactured by the FiberFab kit car company of Freemont, California. It is a 1967 Fiberfab Avenger GT kit. This one is the GT-12, VW based version. This was the worlds first GT40 look-a-like model that kicked off an entire GT40 replicar industry back in the late 60"s. It is sitting on a 60"s/70"s VW Type1 Beetle chassis. The Ontario ownership and registration states 72 VW BET; although, it has mostly earlier parts under it. It did have a "72 engine that I removed and parted out a long time ago. My plan was to lower the floor an inch or two using new metal since I am tall. The pans are still solid but have an amature fiberglass repair done to them. The center section/ transmission tunnel and side/rockers/perimeter tube frame is not very rusty and still strong to weld new floor pans to; which, are readily available new from VW part suppliers at decent prices.
I had several ideas for it since it is rear engined and many good engines are available that can be adapted to the VW 4-speed transmission (swing-axle) still in the car. KEP makes all sorts of engine adapters to fit the VW trans including V6 (Ford & Chevy), Porsche T4 (thats what I wanted), Corvair, and new 4 cylinder power (Subaru and others), all which will fit under the stock engine lid (without cutting the body). Later 4-speed VW IRS transaxles featuring fully independant rear suspension can be fit without to much trouble. Also, these cars are easily modified to accept several disk brake kits and rack and pinion steering units. Larger T3 VW Drums from the 65 pre cars can be used in the rear with hubs drilled to accept Porsche, Chevy, Ford or aftermarket wheels (same for front disc conversions).
The Fiberglass Body is uncut, not modified, and has a new front Chevy Corvair Monza windshield that I just installed. It has a 66 Mustang Fastback rear glass window and I have new quad headlights for it. I have installed new chrome (metal) period-correct bullet side mirrors. The door hinges are Ford LTD so the doors line-up and open/close pretty good. I have the rear engine cover and new LED tail lights for it but nothing has been fitted. You will also recieve a big-box full of parts for it with instruments included. Has an old gel-coat blue primer but needs good paint job and minor body work to smooth it out. I have a rebuilt windsheild wiper unit, a newer chrome steering wheel and aftermarket GT40 replica seats for it. A new poly gas tank, and newer Motormaster tires are on it mounted on Ford alloy 15x7 inch wheels. It has currently has VW to Ford wheel adapters installed; however, it requires new lug-nuts all around. It could also use larger tires at the rear. Or you could install new larger wheels and tires like the black car shown in the pictures which illustrates what can be accomplished.
As with these older kit-cars it"s all about the build-quality put into them and they can be really nicely done for far less than a close to original kit. It is definately for a builder with some time on your hands. They are very light cars so with a Hot Rod VW engine or Porsche Type 4 power and twin carbs they go good and at only 1500 pounds they handle nice. The Car is in storage in Thunder Bay and will need to be picked-up by trailer. It will roll around the yard but can not be towed on it own wheels.
