Here's a link to an Avenger http://jalopnik.com/5380877/fiberfab...n-the-junkyard
compare it to the e-bay ad and if you can't see the difference I'd suggest a new prescription.

Don't let the last 25 years of kit car industry dictate your perception of the early kit cars. They were difficult to build for some, but most car guys built their own race cars then and had skills far beyond what is typical today. Kellison as well as the original Fiberfab were pretty long standing companies. Kellison made bodies from not long after he was a Korean war fighter pilot. It lasted until he sold the company in the late 60's/early 70s. Almost 20 years is hardly a fly by night operation. He even won a lawsuit that Bruce meyers( Meyers Manx) because he made dune buggy bodies in the same vein. Jim said that Bruce would have been better off buying more chopper guns instead of lining some lawyers pocket.
If the shipping from Ca. wasn't so much( I just had one shipped from there) I'd buy it to add to the herd.
