Hey there BradleyCorvair, welcome to the Forum.
I'm new to the Corvair scene and was wondering "what kind and what year is your yellow w/black striping car?"

I see UNSAFE has an original pic for that car. That is way cool to have!

The yellow car with black stripes is a Bradley Gt which was a kit car made in the 70's. Later Bradley came out with a Bradley ll which was bigger. Both used a VW floor pan as a base. Search Bradley GT they're pretty common. The one I have has a frame made for the Corvair drive train. What Unsafe posted looks like another type of kit car from the same era with a Corvette type flare. My memory is not that clear... the 60's and 70's are still just a blur!! Like Unsafe...I wonder how a made it out alive! Now where's that 240Z Datsun pic.? :dontknow:

Yea - I'm not sure if the pic I posted was Bradley related but it was in my Corvair kit car file and it seemed to have some similarities to me.

I remember back when Bradleys were fairly common but most were VW powered.

Here's a few more Corvair powered kit cars.

That is an Amante GT . It is a Corvair powered Kit car. The one above has an added front emblem and I believe the rear end was grafted from about a 1978 Corvette.

Here's some more on them.
