Is there any Pumas in the USA anymore?

Took this pic a few weeks ago. So, yes.

Very nice! I’m trying to trade for one that needs a total overhaul, where do you get parts? Thanks Randy

They are air cooled volkswagens under the skin, like beetles and karmann ghias The fanshroud is shorter, to fit in the engine bay, so that is a unique mechanical part. The actual VW chassis is a Brazilian Brasalia, shortened. For body stuff there is a good guy named Alfredo who returns to Brazil occasionally and will take orders for parts, even stocking some. His website is purring pumas https://purringpumas.com/ and he got me a new top for my convertible Puma, now adopted out

Those factory Puma are 14”? How do they clear the disc brakes in the front? I always wondered that.

The 14" wheels will clear ghia discs up front.
