Serial numbers have no relevance to any year or model, and were probably selected at random to throw off competing manufacturers at the time.
GT or GTII. Some of the features of each car can indicate years in which those cars were produced, although most had runs of several years each with the same identifying items.
GTII had early and late inner door opening mechanisms, and a few othet items.
GT had different style engine lids, rubber tail light bezels, pop-up headlights and a few other telltale features.
Again, these item indicate generalities, but not specifics. There are no specifics unless you have a bill of sale from Bradley.

Glenn,
Mine had several. The big thing is that one of those numbers matches what is on the title. I would eliminate the other ones that do not match the title. IMO

The VW chassis will have a VIN stamped on the rear of the tunnel, and that is usually used if the car remains titled as a Volkswagen.
Bradley issued a serial number plate for the body of kit, assembled and turnkey cars, which was mostly used by states for ID and sales tax purposes when attempting to title it. In the case of a turnkey, the Bradley ID number MIGHT be okay with a state as the VIN.
Some individual states, according to the way the car is titled, issue a "reconstructed," "hobby," "assembled" or other specialty plate. The number on that plate then becomes the vehicle's official VIN. My car has the VW ID on the tunnel and the Bradley Body ID tag, but the VIN is from the special Reconstructed Vehicle tag issued by Pennsylvania. That is the only VIN on the title and registration.
Warmest...
