Lookie lookie.....

Look what I found.....hanging in a basement home shop.

Completely there, never assembled, all like new except the foam padding for the fiberglass seat shells (covers are fine) has fell apart over the last 40 years.

A complete Bradley GT2 and a full power train from a late low mileage fuel injected beetle.

Now to find money so I can get it.





This is what a put together one looks like.

This is really cool. I have heard stories about airplanes being found in a barn, but never a car found in a basement.:laugh:

I did drive the original had the weird recessed headlights. It was pretty crude. The noise inside was deafening. The later ones were better looking. At least to me. Someone like you could at least give it the performance to match the looks.

Way Kewl ... Good Luck getting it.

 

[grandpanystrom61]
