Sorry I don’t have bigger pictures (you can click to zoom the collage) of John from New Bedford, MA’s Avenger. It’s the 1969 GT-12X model, and he started restoring it in 1994 and finished three years later with a trophy winning car. It’s built around a Karman Ghia chassis (from disc brakes, etc.) and a 1600 cc engine that’s been worked over with twin carbs, a dual header exhaust. The car also has custom 5″ offset 14″x7″ wheets, adjustable air shocks in the rear, and an overhead stereo system (very cool in a car like this; my Laser 917 had that originally).
