Fiberfab Valkyrie

The Valkyrie is a GT sports car introduced 1967 by a U.S. company called Fiberfab. The Valkyrie's styling was inspired by the lines of the famous Ford GT40 race car, which Ford campaigned at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Ford GT was usually equipped with a mid-mounted V8 engine.

Fiberfab's car is also designed with a mid-engined V8. The original sales brochure and advertisements offered a 427 cubic inch Chevrolet engine, a ZF transaxle, and 4 wheel Hearst-Amheart disk brakes. The car also came equipped with a parachute which the ad said was "for primary braking at speeds in excess of 140 M.P.H." Most later Valkyries were owner built, using small block Chevy V8s coupled to Corvair transaxles.

The Valkyrie was not a luxury car, but a sports car marketed on performance and styling The car was offered at $10,000 in early ads the Valkyrie was the only car to be offered factory complete turn key , but there were also lower priced kit versions. There was also a less expensive variant made by Fiberfab called the Fiberfab Avenger GT.

The company sold the rights and inventory to all but one car in the 70s, the Valkyrie was the only car retained by Fiberfab and produced in very limited numbers . Some of the models Fiberfab produced were purchased and continued under the Classic Motor Carriages brand name, when CMC acquired all of the Fiberfab kits and molds except the Valkyrie in 1983. Some original Valkyries are still on the road, and kit versions are in various stages of construction.

The Fiberfab Valkyrie has been the only Fiberfab product to remain in constant production and still is to this day. It is still being manufactured and is available through Fiberfab.us
