Gary Hammond, I appreciate all the info on the car, that was great info. Donnie, I sent you a message on the stripes. Also I do have both side gull wing plexiglass doors and back plexiglass window slight scratches but I can buff them out but, they'll be put up into storage after I heatform a set of TTOPS out of bronze translucent plexiglass and use the hardware and slides from the original doors.

HEY Garyhammond, I saw your red car and it awesomely clean. I think I am going with the sequential strip light on the bumper bar. Won't hardly be noticeable and give the car a cleaner look. The lights are covered in nickel so won't hardly be noticeable. Plus the rear strip light 3 Rd brake.

I was wondering if I should put the stripes on it or leave it anonymous. I don't know what the guy who built it intentions was for this car but, I think it deserves the badging. Maybe he just never got to it. My wife says I'm over thinking this. Did every year come with a different stripe kit or was there only one for the GT. What were the original colors of the stripe kit. Were they ever meant to have a Corvair engine by Bradley builders or was the rear engine cover an option. I'm 51, remember seeing these cars at car shows. Are the front turn signals Hella like the mirrors. The European bikes had them on the ends of the handlebars. Will the questions ever stop Lol.......

This is the only way she knew how to upload the pictures. If anybody knows any thing about this BRADLEY GT let me know. It looks like it has a Bradley kit ordered rear engine cover for a corvair engine. Same gelcoat as the VW engine cover, which I have. 5 lug wheels all around. VW seat pans already replaced with lowered fiberglass pans. The Corvair engine is an RN code, which is the (SPHE) Special High Performance Engine 140 hp and a Holley 450 cfm Carb, Headers and Glasspacks. Sounds great. It came out of a garage in a very bad neighborhood in Peoria, Ill. The guy that built this car knew what he was doing. I only wish I knew who he was. Any History known on this car would be Greatly appreciated.

Hey to cocacoladodge. The Bradley GT I bought only has 700 miles on it. Original tires from Montgomery Wards. I've been waiting to find one completed. It seems like there are so many unfinished or just wore out. I hope it's a Barn find and an unregistered Bradley GT on the Bradley register. It sat in a garage covered in junk for 30 some years. The old guy died and didn't get to drive it but, he deserves all the attaboys.....

Kitcarguy got your message on the stripes, didn't know which board to go to since I'm still new sorry. I'll buy Bradley GT stripes for each side in gold and just Bradley GT for the back. 3 emblems in gold when you get them. I sent you my email and tel#. Also I'm posting a video of the Bradley GT arriving on the trailer on you tube under 1976 bronze Bradley GT. Thanks.

Hello, I just bought a 1976 Bradley GT Bronze metallic, The motor is a 140 hp corvair engine. But the car doesn't have the Bradley GT stripes or emblems. Also the car has the wrong front turn signals. I haven't found any info about the lights (MAKE,TYPE,YEAR). Any help would be appreciated.
