Brazilian made Puma GTE 1600 1977 Part 1

[Fitter]

Hello!

Some photos of my Brazilian made Puma GTE 1600 1977 (Volkswagen beattle based, with SP2 gear box).

It is a nice 45 years old Kitty car made on fiberglass also.

Just came from restoration.

Red was before, and now brand new silver after.

I'm awaiting a center console with armrest and pockets.

Cheers from Brazil!

I used to lust for one many years ago.

Seems like a strange first post for a Puma on a Porsche forum.

This the off topic forum. Not so strange at all.

Let me rephrase it. Seems like a strange first post on the off-topic section of a mainly Porsche forum. I suppose if he said, I used to have a Porsche or I always wanted a Porsche, maybe I could understand.

I guess he just wanted to show it off wherever he could. And I can't blame him.

I looked up Pumas for sale and there's not much out there. A pretty nice one from NY sold on BAT in 2019 for $15,000. I'd pick one up for that all day long.

How do you plan to address the positive camber problem in the rear? From what you've said, I assume the engine is already in it.

Nice looking car.
There are currently 3 for sale on the samba.

Fun cars, a longtime friend just finished restoring his last year and it is a hit at every show, plus he has been featured in a magazine.

I have another longtime friend who has a couple of them, my name is on the convertible when I am ready.

I did not know they made a convertible version of those

hmmmm, those accordion bumpers remind me of another car, I wonder what.
