context_page_description: The Avenger GT was a kit car designed in California and manufactured in the United States and Canada, primarily in the 1960s and early 1970s. The car was manufactured by Fiberfab, a company founded by Warren "Bud" Goodwin and was the successor to the Fiberfab Aztec. The car was styled to resemble the Ford GT of racing fame in the 1960s, often referred to as the GT40. These Fiberfab creations were the first kit-cars available that followed the lines and styling of the GT40; thus, popularizing and developing the kit-car industry to new heights and starting the whole tribute / replicar GT40 industry that follows today.
  The Avenger GT came in two models: the Avenger GT-12, and the Avenger GT-15. The GT-12 was designed to be assembled by the owner, using parts salvaged from other cars, most often, a Volkswagen Beetle. The GT-15 was similar, but utilized a tube frame chassis, designed to accept suspension and drive-train components from a Chevrolet Corvair.
  They are not exact GT40 replicas; Although, it is also very clear that the styling of these cars was inspired and influenced by the early GT40.
