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.

Proof again that there's no accounting for taste. You're right, you DESERVE a Bradley.

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.

You're right, the fit and finish is/was HORRIBLE!

The clay-line on mine still had flashing on it, but it is number 31
and I expected them to get better! I saw one of the last popped
out of the mold and it looked about the same as mine.

I'm gonna say this, fully expecting to get laughed off the block,
but I put $6000 in the restoration of mine.........

You like what you like, I like what I like.

You don't have to!
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

$2000 engine
$1500 car
$1000 tranny
$1000 tires and rims
$500 incidentals

Do the math........that doesn't even cover the costs of all the tools
I had to buy ,since some asswipe stole my toolbox as it was
being shipped back from Germany. I had irreplaceable ones TOO!
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/style_images/1/icon7.gif)

I wanted it since I was 14, and I got it.

What do you do with YOUR $$$?

Oh, I believe you spent the money, Don, just hard for me to believe anyone would spend that much on a Bradley. But that's just me. You've always wanted one, now you have one, and that's fine.
