I put a bid in around the $960 mark, still very tempted but not sure how I would pick it up and transport it back to Auckland

Hillman avenger rolling body no motor or gearbox.car is in fairly sound condition with rust mainly in front gaurds and valance.

[HenryM]

Easy for me get that Hillman Avenger its in the same town as me. Ok does the Hillman Avenger boot & front chrome bumper fit to the Chrysler Avenger.

Hi Henry.

Welcome to the forum!! I had my eye on the Avenger you brought as a daily driver, but I am glad it has gone to someone who has signed up to the forum.

As for the questions about the bumpers and boot.

Yes, the front bumper will fit, with a little modification, you just need to redrill the mounting holes because they are slightly different. If you are going to change them then it would be best to change both front and back because they look quite different. I swapped over to early Hillman bumpers on my Chrysler wagon, so I think I have a spare front Chrysler bumper if you need it. I just live in Auckland.

As for the boot. The Hillman boots don't fit on a Chrysler, the corners are different due to the tail light changes.

Hillman with round boot corners



Chrysler with square boot corners



We have another member up in Warkworth who may have a spare boot

yep Looks like a 'replica' & same setup as my Racecar : nice though & I cant say I aint tempted!

"Could be" Genuine & imported in '78? Though the asking price does not reflect that

https://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=im1469

if it is though....

except the Boot Spoiler looks a bit high for me

[avenga]

It's not a real Avenger Tiger.

The chassis number is an NZ number BL5H413441. UK Chassis numbers are totally different, for example, this is the chassis number off one of my friends UK Avengers (I have X'd out the last digits) R488316XXXX

You can decode the chassis number here

http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?topic=473.0

It decodes to

BL=1976/77

5=1600 Manual

H=High price range, aka an Alpine or GLS

41=Sedan

3441=body number

Also it says NZ New in the origin on Carjam. So it is a NZ new GLS, 1977 but first register 12th of January 1978,

You are right about the spoiler being too high.

The facebook listing actually says that it a replica now, and there is a comment from the seller confirming it is a replica.

It was for sale many years back and I rung up about it because I was seriously going to buy it, I just wanted to know some of the history and specs, but yeah, that phone call did not go well and I didn't buy it.
