1996 Fiberfab Gazelle

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Fiberfab Gazelle was a fiberglass kit car produced by Fiberfab International, one of the pioneering American kit car manufacturers active from the 1960s through the 1980s. Styled to evoke the pre-war Mercedes-Benz SSK roadster, the Gazelle kit was designed to be built over a donor Ford Pinto chassis, resulting in a car that combined early 1930s European grand touring aesthetics with a mechanically straightforward and readily serviceable platform. Fiberfab produced several kit designs over its run, and the Gazelle remains among the more recognized, owing to its long louvered hood, flowing front fenders, chrome headlights, and roadster design.

This example is said to have been placed in long-term storage under previous ownership and was acquired by the seller in 2023. Subsequent recommissioning work included electrical and mechanical refurbishments as well as a repaint in red.

Under the hood, a 2.6L Ford V6 has been installed, which is fed by a two-barrel carburetor topped with an open-element air cleaner. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.
