dustycrusty Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 its one of those fiberglass kit cars that proliferated in the late 1960's- 1970's. Kelmark, Fiberfab, Manta, Sterling and a few dozen more built GT coupes like that, ROUGHLY based on the LeMans dominating Ford GT40. Here's a similar appearing Fiberfab Avenger/Valkyrie. Notice the abundance of smooth lines and volumputious curves---- now look at the CAR! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Agree with DustyRusty. Side view may help. The side mirrors were popular circa 1965-70, while front looks well done incl the single wiper, rear looks like fiberglas and is not trimmed out as well. Gull wing doors are an interesting feature. It's likely the rear flipped up to access engine, suggesting it might be based on early VW or similar rear engine setup. Thanks for posting.

sagefinds Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 It may be a Bradley GT,there used to be one running around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 It may be a Bradley, if there were more than one style. The one I had years ago had the drivers door removed so that a normal sized guy could drive it. It was a gull wing door but most people would not be able to drive it without looking over the windshield. Somehow this one doesn't remind me of that car, other than it doesn't look like it has very much headroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanski Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Fiberfab Avenger/Valkyrie. Bradley GT is a totally different car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANOT Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 That's a Kellison Gt 40. the headlights on a fiberfab avenger/Valkyrie are set at an angle. These are straight. the dead giveaway is the doors though. They aren't gullwing doors, they actually open the way a real gt 40s would. Before "real" gt40 replicas started being made in the late 80s, Kellison was known as the only kit car manufacturer doing this. Pretty cool car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
