Bradley GT. Worth anything?

Skulptorchaz · Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2015 11:26 am Post subject: Bradley GT. Worth anything?

Hey Guys,
A buddy just drug home a Bradley GT. Model is 15000 and serial is 00285.
All it would be worth is whatever a body is worth - that is rather rough. Saveable, yes, but rough. The pan is rotted out almost completely and I would bet the motor (NOT a 1600) is probably stuck. I told him to find another donor beetle and put the body on it.
The dash is ..... um........ pretty good and the seats are there (Definitely need to be re-done). Glass is ok except the back triangle shaped rear quarter windows are fogged.
It is DEFINITELY a "project" but i was wondering if it was worth being a "project"? I HATE seeing anything get crushed.
Thanx for your time!

I love the look of a Bradley GT. Fiberglass is easy to mend and bondo isn't a crime on a fiberglass car. Unfortunately bugs rot from the bottom up, so just about any donor car will have all the same parts rusted. I would hate to buy a really good unrusted car and trash the body. Even as I type that I realize my car had new channels and pans but the body was really rough. The engine came in many boxes. So the donor car of your dreams is out there.

If its a GT than consider it basically a dunebuggy shaped kinda like a car. The plexi doors are a poor design and barely even available. Same for the rear plexi (there are two styles). The front windshield is from a Vette and readily available.

If its a GT2 then there are a whole bunch of other issues. The windshield is proprietary.

It is a GT II. Everything is there, it's just that the body is a bit rough.
But, are they really worth anything?? Or sought after?

Worth anything? Sure....rough GTII probably $1000. ONLY if the windshield is intact. Fixed up it might be worth $5000-$6000 if done nice.

Sought after? No...not sought after...other than the windshield. You might get $500 for a good windshield.

Last 2 GTIIs I bought were $250 & $300 with good windshields...

Like anything else, they are worth no more than what the highest payer will offer you.

The $300 car, with good windshield, the wheels shown, extra set of complete doors & components, hatch glass, seats, interior panels, etc..., no engine.

Cool, thanx guys. That gives me some ideas.
All the glass is good so that is a plus.
I'm not too sure he wants to tackle the project yet. (I know/would bet what will eventually happen... Smile

) so....... I may post it on here to see if anyone else would like to save this cool car.
Again, thank you for the help!!!
Now, back to finishing MY buggy.........

I'm not sure what he will want for it but it will be REAL reasonable.............but it is in South Eastern Indiana. I'd like to take it on but after I get my buggy done, I'm taking a break.
