To a good home.
This Bradley has been in storage since the late 70's. It was built on a 69 VW chassis with 16,000 miles on it. The Corvair 140 HP with Holley 4 barrel, Crane cam, light flywheel was rebuilt just before it was parked in west Michigan. The tires are flat, broken valve stems, Cragar SS rims, Hurst shifter, tach/guages, Silver metalflake color, it will need some tender care to get it going but it was in fine shape....35 years ago! Mice may have gotten to the interior. Still in storage and a bit difficult to get to but a bargain find for someone wanting the ultimate kit car. Sorry no photos - digital wasn't yet invented when it went into storage.

I would like to clear my name. I have no idea who this Danny Hunter person is. I have never been attacked like this in my entire life.
I can supply references.
Please tell me how to clear my name.

Thanks, I am not suggesting anybody buy something like this sight unseen.
This is literally in a barn, the building has sunk into the ground, and the barn doors are inoperable, and I would need to cut the wall to extract the bradley. It is covered under a bunch of tarps and located near Holland, while I am in Lansing. I am sure the odometer (original) shows less than 20,000 miles.
I don't want to rip anyone off, I just figure if I would part it out I could get maybe 1k for the motor and 1k for the bellypan/chassis. I haven't used it for some time and could use a little cash for other "projects"
It is silver with white interior as my photo showed.

I appologize for being so harsh about this add . I asked him to delete the photo and give a reasonable explanation for no photos other than digital wasn't yet invented when it went into storage. He has done both.
I do not believe that he is Mr Hunter, {the person responsible for scamming a lot of people}. I have asked on other forums and the others agree. As promised I have deleted my concern regarding KB and this add.
Welcome to the family Ken. Please accept my appology, There are a lot of really good people here with a lot of good information to share. Enjoy your time here.

my ebay is ken.bos
I own kenbos.com domain
my real name is ken bos
my initials are KB
you can search me to find I am a teacher in Eaton Rapids Michigan
I decided I should try to sell something I haven't used in 30 years, I put an ad in Samba and then I came across this site, didn't know it existed or that there were people still interested in Bradleys. So I also put the ad up here
A photo of the vehicle is not too easy to come by as it is located 100 miles from where I currently live . It is covered with tarps and etc
I am sorry if I have violated any forum rules, I didn't see anything about posting a picture with the curent newspaper in it. (nor have I seen such a thing)
I think I am now banned from samba because of this!
The humor in the situation is that I googled your name and came up with someone called Dan Hunter Macmillan. I am not sure how my name resembles "Dan Hunter" as much as yours does
I understand your waryness with scammers I have met plenty. This will be excusable if we get it sorted out.
I can email you my LINKEDIN "link" as I have found a few Dan Macmillans from Canada on there.
I can give references from the 914 boards who personally know me.
What else.

That is funny, Dan Hunter Macmillan. Actually google reports back McMillan
Past Lieutenant Governors
Sir Daniel Hunter McMillan
Term of Office: 10 October 1900 - 1 August 1911
Born: Whitby, Ontario, January 1846
Died: Winnipeg, 14 April 1933
That puts me at 167 years old. Too old to be driving a Bradley.
On alll forums that I am a member of my user name is dan macmillan, no shortforms/initials or aliases.

You'd think the engine would stick out farther . And the alternator bracket could serve as a licence plate mounting point |

I had upgraded my GT2 using a recammed Corvair so it would spin the right way and mild cam for more power, but chose to upgrade it further, Sound and limited power just did not suit the styling of the car.
Mid engine Subi is the way to go.

Actually, the corvair engine has great power when matched up to a Bradley GT1. Mine has the 140 HP heads and I am running two Weber 2bl carbs with headers, runs fast and sounds great too. And only the alternator, and oil filter stick out. I am in the process of extending the center of the deck lid to cover the Alt and oil filter.
