The Avenger GT's tail section was longer than the Valkyrie's so that it could cover the car's rear-mounted engine, giving it an appearance closer to that of a GT40 Mk.III. The Avenger GT's windshield is the standard unit from a second generation (1965–69) Chevy Corvair, while the backlight is from a 1965 or 1966 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback.

More referenced info on the A-12's design would be good.
In December 2011, it was reported that the Air Force had ordered an Avenger and that it would be deployed to Afghanistan. "This aircraft will be used as a test asset and will provide a significantly increased weapons and sensors payload capacity on an aircraft that will be able to fly to targets much more rapidly than the MQ-9 [Reaper] UAS," the USAF said in an announcement.
