Okay, I don't normally post this stuff, but couldn't resist. I did a 'pantera' search on ebay and found one of the cars that make us sometimes call the place 'fleabay'.

But it IS a car (sort of) that comes WITH a ZF.

In case you thought you could resist looking at this link, here's an exact quote from the listing...

"He was putting finishing touches on the car when his wife found out about a girlfriend. Apparantly she took a ball peen hammer to his pet project and broke all of the windows and knocked holes in the fiberglass body."

For the 'rest of the story', click here...

Maybe this can help someone who needs a complete ZF or a need of parts.

Posting rules say that I must disclose that I - THANKFULLY - have no connection with the seller.

You people! Get ahold of your senses!

Clearly you were either born too late or weren't redneck/poor enough to have actually KNOWN someone who owned a Bradley GT.

They were mostly made of wet toilet paper disguised as fiberglass. Atop that, plexiglass windows were fitted, which leaked worse than a Saran Wrap aquarium, but with less visibility.

The JCWhitney interior: dune buggy seats, stupid shift handles, chrome levers, and some godawful padded thing that called itself a console would embarras a border jumper into walking.

If there actually IS a 'low' for kit cars, this is it. I'd prefer the power to weight ratio of the same drivetrain in a grocery cart.

If someone buys this for the ZF, please let me buy the Bradley so I can shoot it. Then I want to mount its carcass on the wall. We do that down here.
Can someone tell me what 'Barn Fresh' means? Is it an air freshener that you hang off the rear-view like those little pine trees?

It does have that CB radio going for it, along with all the shag carpeting, and since he doesn't say the A/C needs a recharge, I count that as a good thing.

Methinks he doth protest too much - could it be Adams is waiting to snipe this auction and is starting to worry there will be competition from the board?

Thanks Kirk. Glad to bring some levity to the very serious subject of Bradley bashing.

I remember that episode! Good call. Yep, this needs to be road kill for sure.
