Hi, I just bought a Bradley Gt...out a guy's Garage, It had been in storage since about 1978 ..It is a complete running car...blue metal flake, Appliance chrome Mags and white interior...showing 127 miles on the Odometer.... the car Is like the day it was built.....Except for the dust.... I was told, that the car was built in 1973.... My question is...How do you know what year the car was built, When using the Bradley body Serial Number?.....I am trying to get a Title for it.....Thanks..Larry

Larry, You have stumbled upon one of the great mysteries of the Bradley lore - what is the correlation between the body serial numbers and the year it was manufactured? So far no one has found the formula (which was a good thing for me because in California I was able to use the default year of 1961, which exempted me of all smog requirements). However, most of the time the DMV is interested in the serial number of the chassis used, which can be found toward the rear of the tunnel by the transaxle nosecone shift linkage access panel. This number can be used to determine the year of the chassis at various Internet sites, such as: www.bugsandbuggies.com/Chas_Num.aspwww.lightner.net/ybdb/serno.htmlwww.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/chassisdating.phpThis youtube clip shows where to look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDiQUG1GNsQHope this helps.... regards, Steven P.S. - Post pictures as soon as you can, we all like to see what the other member's Bradleys look like.
