Is there anyway to verify whether or not it's an actual demo model? If they sold the kits from 71-81 why would they build #3 out of 5 in 74? |

Sure there is a way to verify if its a demo model. An original invoice from Bradley Automotive saying it was one of their demo models. Hell what about an invoice that just said it was factory built lol . Here is the deal. For some reason people see a data plate on one of these and assume it was either factory built, or a demo car . The reality of it is just about every bradley kit that shipped out of the factory had a data plate. From time to time you get these stories that seem to trickle down from owner to owner. The next thing to realize is Bradley was not in the car building business, they were in the kit selling business. While the obviously had demo cars, and did a few turnkey builds (like the Liberace car) that was not their business. So as I said without documentation saying it was purchased from the Bradley Factory and was a Demo Car it is just another bradley . Hell even with documentation its just another bradley hahaha I posted this one earlier. Good laugh for sure.

I would be curious to see what the data plate says and what the car is registered as .

And just to be fair and balanced the car was posted on craiglist 15 days ago at a HUGE reduction to the $35,000 original price . atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/cto/5869273655.htmlHere is the post for preservation... Just goes to show that this seller is full of it. First is this is 1 of 5 original Bradleys built at the factory, what are the other 6000 or so GTs that where also "built" at the factory. And judging by the photos its not original. The dash has the gold metal flake paint still while the rest of the car is a new blue. It is titled as a Bradley GT just as MANY of them them are. The engine is not original to the car, and as everyone knows these cars do NOT sit on a Super Beetle Chassis. Again for those in the future that are going to buy a Bradley based off BS such as this, don't bother. This is just another run of the mill Bradley GT . Nothing special, nothing rare, etc.  |

I don't think that Bradley would have sold a "factory" car with non-standard seats and covers, no "Executive Option" dash upholstery, and a non-Panasonic radio mounted in the dash instead of using the company's optional upholstered mounting plate that fits below the instrument cluster. Racing stripe is also non-standard. BTW, nearly all the factory-assembled cars were built by Ray Tierney and friends.
