Hi Nigel. Congrats on the wedding and getting Avenger finished.
I am a big fan of your Avenger GT. As you said it it pretty rare being a factory 2 door Avenger GT.
I would love it see it in person one day. You will have to bring it along to one of our Avenger meets now that it is back on the road.
Can't wait to see more shots. Excellent work, looks as good as new.
Btw ignore the guy on trademe saying it is only worth $4k, he has no idea how rare your car is in NZ. If you found the right buyer who knew what your car was worth then you would get tons more for it.
wow this is in NZ?
i cant find it on trademe
Yeah it is in NZ.
It's not for sale on Trademe, Nigel just used Trademe to share the photo. If it did ever come up for sale I would be all over it.
haha what part of NZ?
Car is sitting in my driveway, I live out in west Auckland. And yea, I thought $4k was a little low as that's what I paid over 10 years ago. BTW, the factory biscuit rims are safely in storage. Who's keen to import some BRM 16v conversion kits?
I would be super keen on importing some BRM 16v kits.
Do they make them?
16v head for pushrod engine as per BRM. Please email me to
register your interest the more we have made the cheaper they will be. Will be sold as a kit with cams and all components to convert your 1598/1964cc engine We expect to see 240BHP mal-stuart@hotmail.co.uk..
Been in contact with the ASOC recently, check out Mal Stuart motorsport on facebook.
Wait, can someone just confirm in plain English what this kit would do!?
Also, what the estimated price would be?
moar flow
It is a twin cam 16 valve head originally designed by BRM for Chryslers competition department to take on the ford BDA.
Basically it is a race head which replaces the standard head but also replaces the single underhead pushrod cam with twin overhead cams which are chain driven.
Most modern cars are twin cam and it allows for much high powered engines. In the 70's this was new technology so a lot of companies were getting twin cam race engines built for rally. They were usually made by race engine companies such as Lotus, Cosworth and BRM then fitted to the standard engine to increase power, usually doubling the power of the old pushrod engine.
As for price. I suspect it will be moonbeams, much more than you whole car is worth if they are making an entire head from scratch.
