This is a 1973 Bradley Gt with a 1641cc engine. It has 17" chrome wheels,disc brakes,chromed out engine,full Kenwood stereo system,dual carbs,and alot of extras.I started the project in 1999 and finished summer 2004.I\'ve owned the car since 99 but is was my dads since 1980.the car was in bad shape.the floors were rusted out,all the plexi was broke the only thing good was the windshield,the engine hadn\'t been run in 15 years,but it fired right up.The car was a good project and i had fun doing it from start to finish.
