Not really, but I've worked on a few. I used to have one in my backyard for years. It was a shell I got $800 for it.
It looks not too bad because it's made of fiber glass, bonded to a VW bug pan.

They have no head room at all.... a 914 with top on has 12' of head room compared to a Puma. At 6'-1" I hated even just taking it for a test drive.

BTW they used to sell them here in the early 80's at the Lada dealerships.

You're interested in it? Don't want to cause you problems, but if you pass or aren't interested for whatever reason I could be interested.

I could be interested. I can also take a look at if if I decide it's not for me ................ I'll be passing through Ventura next Tuesday. Do we know what year and model it is? Convertible or coupe?

You take a step back. Right now. With all due respect.

EDIT: Aw, Cap'n, we posted at the same time. You don't want that car, do you? Not really, it's a VW! And worse, it's a BRAZILIAN volks car.

Ventura...? Who said Ventura? EDIT2: Oh, I see, second title line. Duh.

Ahhhh, Not a Puma, a Ventura. Took me a little time to have a talk with Mr. Google and figure it out. After looking at the pictures, its clunky looks don't interest me in the slightest. Consider me out.

That's an early Puma with a LOT of front end changes. FWIW I sold my last one ( I had 2 ) for 2500 with no engine, solid, nice interior with major body mods, but still looked like a Puma unlike this one

No body changes.... it's a Puma Venturta and it's actually a later car as in late 80's early 90's.

You most likely had a Puma GTI or GTC.

I kind of like the look of the 1969 GT.

They didn't sell many Venturas, so that's a very rare car. The fact it's so rare might make it more valuable, I don't know, but unfortunately for me it's on a Chevrolet chassis with a straight six engine. My interest is for one of the earlier non-smog GT-GTE cars that were based on an aircooled VW chassis, and the intention would be a Subaru conversion. Those little cars are more sport, less luxe.

I suspect this Ventura will go to some collector, but have no idea who, nor could I suggest where to look. Even though it's not aircooled The Samba will probably be the matrix for finding him, because most Puma guys go through there, although he probably won't be an A/C VW guy. Good luck with it.
