First let me start by saying I LOVE the Amante GT. Great looking Kit Car from head to toe. It is on my bucket list of one I will own. While searching through the craigslist interwebs I came across this $15,000 gem….
This is a very unique kit car! only (approximately)175 made! (do your research)
It use to be mounted on a V.W. pan with a sluggish 1600 cc pree.70’s beetle….
Now, it sits on a custom made chassis with a 3,3Liter Buick mid engine with an automatic trans.
The Fire wall needs to be partially re-dun, the dash board needs finished. It is a project!
It is drivable!
Ok cool. It has a custom chassis and a buick powerplant but is still a project and after doing my research as the seller has asked I can 100% say with all certainty that it is NOT a $15,000 car. Unique? Sure! But that is where it stops

I agree. But if this car is still around I’d love his contact information.

I have an Amante GT I would be willing to take an offer on its Volkswagen powered.
Hey There.
Shoot me an email with what you are trying to get out of it.
I will tell you as an Amante owner I was offered $15000 for my car and I turned it down. The compliments I get and the looks when I drive down the road are priceless.
My friend has one is looking to sell . Is a project but is all there . Perfect for someone that wants to work on it at his own pace . If intrested call 7725637552
I’ve looked at as many different VW-based kits as I can find and the Amante strikes me as one of the best looking. If anybody is selling one I’d sure like to know.
For anyone that is a part of this community… I am strongly looking for an Amante GT. If you have one and are willing to part with it, please get in contact with me. The intent is to create a next version of the Tera-Soar and make a run at running in Bonneville in 2021 for the 50th anniversary of my dad’s land-speed record. Whatever Amante I get will essentially be gutted to make way for an integrated chassis and roll cage system in lieu of the type III pan. Body, glass and trim most import, everything else is secondary as it will be custom built for the application.
Please consider this as your contribution to the history! It should be a fun project!
Don Lowry,
It looks like I’m taking possession of a fairly rough Amante GT. Tomorrow, 2/26/20
Contact me if you’re still looking for one of these.
