So I come home and parked in front of my neighbor's yard I saw this...





At first I thought it was a '70's Corvette from far away but when I got closer I realized it was something different that I've never seen before. The "Electric" sign on the hood caught my attention, so I went on Google to see what’s the story behind this car and came up with this. It looked exactly like the pic above. I wanted to snap a pic of it but it was dark out and my camera phone doesn't come out well at night. It's definitely not something you see everyday.

We had a guy in my town growing up that had a Bradley GT and as a kid I thought it was the coolest car with the gull-wing doors.

It's still not as cool as a Subaru SVX.

Looks like a mid 70's kit car to me.

That's what it is; they're based off the VW Beetle frame. In person though it looks pretty damn cool back then it was definitely ahead of it's time, the only thing I didn't like about it was the rear end though. Plus for an electric car it’s pretty damn fast, I’ve read that they can go over 90MPH.
