thinking about buying the first link i posted. Went up and looked at it today, and the guy was kind of a spaz. Story I got was that he and his buddy work in the fiber glass industry, and his buddy built the car. Since they are taller they raised the posts about 2 to 3 inches. Then he made those custom one of a kind doors, and rear window.
Guy then sells it to his friend, the current owner. Current owner "only drives on road trips" and is afraid to drive in town period. When he moved up to this state he claimed that he took the bus, while having his car towed with his belongings, to the Shangrila motel.
Car is on a 69 pan. Other custom work done includes this. Sounds like his friend started to install an electric fuel pump, but never finished it, so this guy jheririgged it, but sounds like he didnt do a good job. He claims it has allowed him to drive the car at hotter temps, but last time it got too hot, from my guess sounds like he never ever adjusted the valves, which is kind of silly because that takes like five minutes.
Guy never has driven it again, because of the valve issue and that he claims the brakes are shot. Though, last i checked a brake repair kit is about 22$ that includes pads and new springs.
When i checked out the car the body was in pretty good condition and the taller roof is a bonus for me. Might just take it home and use mine for parts. Hmm...

i like it, there is a lot of potential. there are not too many headaches you have to work through if he has had it running. fuel pump issue should be easy to figure out, just do it right the first time. When i bought my bradley gt2 the guy i bought it from was a total spaz too!

I don't see anything that's recognizable as a Bradley GT in that ad

I agree. NOT a Bradley. doors are wrong & there is not a single line of a Bradley on it.
