1966 Fiberfab Azteca convertible factory built car with tubular chassie
1966 Other Makes Description
Here is a very rare car for sale. This is NOT a kit car! A 1966 Fiberfab Azteca factory built car with a tubular chassie, 356 Porsche 741 trans, 356 Porsche 200mm caliper front brakes and 356 Porsche rear brakes. Fiberglass body with regular opening doors and a built in roll cage. Mid engine with a Corvair 6 cylinder engine with 4 barrel carb and headers. This is how it was built at the Fiberfab factory in 1966. Has a very rare factory ID tag. One of only 2 cars that were built and the only one built with Porsche trans and brakes. The other 1 had VW components. Fiberfab took these cars to races to advertise them for racing or possible street use. They weigh around 1650 lbs. After 3 months Fiberfab discontinued this car and went to a larger car. That made this car even rarer. This is the only one out of the 2 that is still stock. This car started it's life in Sunnyvale, California and I have some old owners cards from 1971 and 72 from Los Angeles. The car was owned by a collector in Michigan for a number of years. This car qualifies as a vintage race car but I have no records of the car ever racing but it may have? It is very much like a Devin D in the way it is built but obviously a different body style and has 150hp which is more than a Porsche engine.Due to the car receiving some fiberglass damage in transport to me after I purchased the car (very frustrating), this car has become more of a project than I wanted at this time. It now needs some repairs to the body, such as fiberglass cracks, and hairline cracks as indicated in the pictures. The car was carefully inspected by insurance people and they indicated no evidence of any chassie or frame damage. There is a number of items that were not completed on this car. The doors were hung and secured for transport, but the original Fiberfab Factory installed hinges are worn, and should be repaired / improved. It is missing the flat plexiglass rear window but easily can be made. It is missing the aluminum cylinder gas tank, needs fuel lines installed, brake lines and pedal assembly installed, needs the wiring finished (new harness is already in it), shifter and linkage hooked up, and the dash panel installed. I have the corvette windshield with new seal and used window trim that needs installed. Engine ran well previously before rewiring, but the wiring is currently not hooked up. The Porsche trans is good, Porsche brakes rebuilt, needs the seats upholstered and door panels made. Looks great from 10 feet but needs repairs and finished. Comes with 4 nice 356 Porsche rims, has parts in a box like 4 chevy 5 bolt wheel adapters, used headlight and tail lights, wiring stuff, New Scat shifter, air cleaner, mufflers, and small parts. A great rare project car for someone. Purchased from Dave Perry in Alabama after he retired from restoring vintage fiberglass race cars. He had a write up about this car on-line and it's rarity. The cracks are at front wheel wells, rockers, small star burst on hood, bottom of inside windshield posts etc. I have more pics if needed. I would have loved to put a denzel engine in this car. It is being sold as a rolling no-op car right now. Trying to be as up front and honest as possible to represent this car. I have no intentions of misleading anyone. If you want a specific pictures of something please ask. or pics of items that come with the car. Ask questions. I reserve the right to end the auction early due to having it advertised locally.
