There are several bodies in a guys yard about 60 miles from me. They are new, uninstalled on a pan as there are no good pans here in this state. There is junk stacked on them. There is junk everywhere in the guys yard, and a 904 (?) style kit car in the field with sheep (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sheeplove.gif) running around. I asked about the 904 body once. He told me $ 125.00. He told me he did some work for a guy and he couldn't pay him so he took the stuff as payment. I was going to come back with a trailer but other this came up. (like work, winter, etc.) Everything is probably under the snow now. But if I get out that way I'll shoot some photos.

I like the sound of that. And I like the GTII better than the GTI. The gullwing doors. Yeah, baby.

The GTI has the gull wing doors also, I just don't like them.

I try to drive it when it isn't gonna rain, but have gotten caught in
the rain without them.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)

They are a $%&* when you are trying to get into the car and, IMHO
they make the car look like a dog- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) .

Whilst the Bradley GT was loosely copied after the Ford GT40(hence
the name Bradley)
(IMG:http://www.bradleygt.com/images/ed5.jpg)

the GTII was loosely based on a Ferrari 512.

Fully restored. Can't afford it as a gift. 8,000 bucks is a lot for a college student to spend on a gift to his dad.

There's one down the street from me at a body shop up on a display stand in their lot. It's been there as long as I can remember and I don't think it's ever moved. It puts a semblance of a smile on my face every time I drive by. I've asked myself a hundred times "I wonder if it's for sale?" but I have never stopped to ask.

Hi Chris

I wanted a Bradly for the longest time....till I got up close and personal... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif) The fit and finish of all 3 Bradly's I've seen close, left room for improvement. The trunk and doors were ...uhm....odd. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)

Don't get me wrong, it can be done rite, but the amount of work needed, and of course the usual unexpected costs, make me think that is why so many unfinished kits are for sale.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Personally, I rather do another 914, at least the realy good ones are getting over $10K now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
You gotta think about the resale value with any project car.

I hope you get what you want, and it works out for you.

JESUS H CHRIST. Those shells are in horrible condition. And like I said. I would prefer a GTII. And I think the kid posing in the picture actually owns that car. So I'm DEFICATELY NOT buy that one. He looks like a complete douchebag. And I'll bet the engine is in terrible shape form "street racing." I know mine is.

And WTF is a puma? A pantera wannabe?

Come on Mr. Knowitall...I suggest you Google it...

No easy answers. Only clue you get is that it uses a VW chassis and a lot of folks think it looks better than the Bradley.

Which means harder to find and more expensive.

Jeeze. Let's stick to one kind of car. Bradley GT. If I had just said "kitcar on a bug chassis," then cool. But there are thousands of different kitcars for bug chassis.

How about a GTII found in Rick's field for fairly cheap, and then I'll put it on a super beetle chassis and put a type IV engine in it. Hazza!

I googled Puma. I stand corrected. Not a pantera wannabe. A 912/SAAB Sonnett II wannabe. KEEE-RAP! And there are two dozen different Pumas out there to compound it.
