Fiberfab (United States) - AllCarIndex

Fiberfab was an American company that operated primarily from the mid-1960s until the mid-1990s, specializing in the production of kit cars. Founded in Sunnyvale, California, the company became known for its innovative designs and a diverse range of kit car bodies. One of its earliest and most notable models was the Aztec, introduced in 1964. This low, angular coupe featured design elements reminiscent of the Lola GT, Ford GT40, and Porsche 904, and was built on a Volkswagen Beetle floorpan.

In 1965, Fiberfab expanded its offerings by introducing a special frame that accommodated Corvair or Porsche running gear. The Aztec was followed by the Azteca, a convertible version released the same year. Later, the Aztec II emerged in late 1965, featuring a refined body design with a longer nose. The Avenger, launched in 1967, marked a significant success for the company, presenting a more rounded interpretation of the Ford GT40 and leading to the development of special frames for Corvair running gear.

Fiberfab also produced several other models, including the Valkyrie, which utilized an Avenger body mounted on a steel tube frame with a Chevrolet V8 engine. The Caribee, a front-engined coupe with gull-wing doors, was designed to fit on English sports car chassis, while the Jamaican, introduced in 1968, was an attractive coupe compatible with various chassis, including those from Volkswagen. Among its notable kits was the Centurion, a replica of the Corvette Sting Ray prototype, and the Vagabond, a dune buggy kit.

In the 1980s, Fiberfab was acquired by Classic Motor Carriages, which led to a relocation to Florida and a shift in focus away from its original designs. The company began producing variations of CMC designs, including replicas of the Porsche Speedster, Cobra, and MG-TD, as well as neoclassic models like the Gazelle. However, both Fiberfab and CMC faced legal challenges, resulting in their closure in 1996.
