Any shops make a kit for these cars,looks like they would make a nice street car and they can be bought on the cheap...Any board members with one or know of one and could share pictures,combination and ideas would be appreciated,good or bad...Thanks Gary

They made a few for the Daytona FWD cars in the early 90's thru Mopar performance

I don't think that was a good selling product, think it worked ok ??

Even then you had to perform a lot of fab work to set the the back half

Nice looking cars , think the reason they are found cheap is the trans breaks and they are very expensive to fix

Nephew got one cheap and thats what happened to it


IIRC

I guess theres no love for this car,thought it would make a good canidate for a small tire heads-up build...Oh well,i'v got a 70&71 cuda and 70 challenger bodies,just not sure i want to cut one up and they are heavy cars...Always been a e-body anyway,can't figure out how i ended up with 3 a-bodies and 1 b-body anyhow!!!!!!

The kit isnt made anymore by Chrysler and was very
pricey for 3 pieces of tubing and a few mounts...
the kit at the time was $900 for the L body and the
G body... I did a tube chassis for my P body...
I just bought the tubing yesterday to do my Rampage
(which is a L body version) and the moly tubing was $900
I heard there is a guy out there making a kit still

I don't think they make them but I'm w/ you an Avenger R/T would make a nice ride w/ a v8 and RWD. Always liked them. I'd guess any fab shop would do it. Or you could try and find a tube car for sale. tear the body off and lay the new shell on it. Buddy has a SB turbo chasis Omni TC3 that started life as a Vega.

I'm actually thinking about copying my front sub frame in my avenger and getting all the parts together to sell as kits to do this .My car now has the front frame to where it can be bolted and unbolted from the car ,and the mount that bolts to the stock strut towers but allows for a strange strut to be located to it in the right location and the lower arms and mounts ,just don't know if theirs a market enough to do.this would allow the front to be done with your choice of engine with rack steering and all you would have to do is connect to that and start your back half.
