Fiberfab Centurion, 1965. A kit-car replica of the Chevrolet XP-87 prototype is to be offered at auction in France at the end of the month. The fibreglass Centurion was created by Warren “Bud” Goodwin, the founder of Fiberfab and could be built onto a C1 Corvette chassis. However before series production of the fibreglass bodywork had begun Goodwin was jailed for the voluntary manslaughter of his wife whom he had caught in bed with one his mechanics. Whilst in jail Goodwin himself died of a heart attack. It is thought than less than 12 Centurion bodies were made and this is one of them. The car has been fully restored and is based on a 1958 Corvette, equipped with the 283hp 4.6-litre V8 engine with Rochester injection and a manual gearbox.

To be completed: 1970 Fiberab Aztec
Ok, we agree that maybe “completed” is an understatement, however, technically, the car is there. From what we understand, it is a Fiberfab Aztec built on a platform – for a change – Volkswagen Type 1 (better known as Beetle). This was probably once a running car, since the wheels, headlights and drivetrain are already installed. Through the windshield it was also possible to glimpse the lid of…

There's A Rare 1958 Chevrolet Corvette Fiberfab Centurion For Sale
This is a 1958 Chevrolet Corvette Fiberfab Centurion, if you’ve never seen one before that’s entirely understandable as only a small number were built, all starting out as Corvettes before having new bodies from Fiberfab fitted as part of the Centurion kit. The design of the Centurion was directly inspired by the Corvette-based XP-87 Stingray prototype of 1959. This would be the car that formed…

Fiberfab Avenger GT-12X, 1968. Based on a VW Type 1 backbone chassis and styled to resemble a Ford GT40, the Avenger GT 12 remained in production until 1978. The donor car's original 4-speed transaxle and rear-mounted flat-4 Volkswagen air-cooled engine could be used, but alternatives included Porsche or Corvair flat-6 motors. There was also a GT-15 with a custom chassis built to accept suspension and drive-train components from a Chevrolet Corvair

UK joins US: 1959 Austin Healey 3000 "Banshee" by FiberFab
UK joins US: 1959 Austin Healey 3000 “Banshee” by FiberFab
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We have already spoken in many past articles of the fiberglass era between the mid-50s and the mid-70s: in this period FiberFab was one of the leading companies.

In fact, it has created kits for many models: in the past we have published one of these kits, the “Banshee”, installed on the chassis and engine of an MGA; in this case the same kit (if not quite the same, it is very similar) was…
