I am offering for sale a very unique and well built 1973 Volkswagen Bradley GT 2. The body is a 1978 Bradley Gt 2 and it is built on a 1973 Volkswagen pan. The car is registered and insured with the clean title in hand. I have owned the car for several years and it is an attention getter. The car has several nice features including everything mechanically rebuilt. The front suspension has been completely gone through the 1600 dp motor and transmission have been rebuilt and the drives excellent. The exterior of the car has taken designs from the Corvette and Ferrari 308. The interior is presentable and features a vintage leather LA Carrera steering wheel, vintage Hurst shifter, an interior fan,and a complete set of VDO gauges. The gull wing doors are very cool. The car looks great and drive excellent for a original car that is almost 50 years old. The best part is no smog needed for this rare classic car. The Bradley is located in Huntington Beach, California. The price is $7,900

Those seats – so awesome. The rear 3/4 view – not so much.
I have not seen one of these in white before, but now it’s obvious that that is the best color for it.
Would a type 3 engine fit in there and obliviate the need for the diaper on this thing’s butt?
A nice, cheap Bradley GT popped up for sale near me recently needing a new engine. I was sorely and dearly tempted to buy it and install a proper EV drivetrain befitting its retro-futuristic looks.
But then I remembered that I have eleventy billion current and unfinished projects on my plate.
