Just picked up a Bradley GT Saturday. Was told it is a factory built car, the owner was from New York and liked so much he got a distributorship for them. It was garage kept for years even after he passed away. The family donated it to the boys ranch where it sat outside as they didn't know what to do with it. I got it from a person who works with the boys ranch. Car is complete but having sat outside the pans are shot and the interior will need to be replaced. Good for me I have 4 VW projects so it looks easier to just lift the body off and put it on a better chassis. VW projects are like puppies - I keep telling the wife "it just followed me home". Glad to have found this site as I am sure I will have questions on it.

They definitely are projects, and require a lot of work. But the end result is so rewarding. Best of luck on the car my friend! Be sure to keep us updated!  Luke |

Interesting. That back section looks similar to the one I built. I had never seen another.

Looks good. Just an FYI. Don't put much weight into it being a factory built car. Lots of people say they are factory built because the title says bradley or it has a bradley data plate. Now if he has the original reciepts and such that he is providing you it will make for a good conversation piece but no real added value.

Small world, I was browsing through the Sarasota CL a week ago and saw that on there!
