Question on a kit car

I'm not 100% sure if the car was a kit car or not, but here it goes. The car in question was parked in a parking lot of a little autobody shop. Its not there anymore, so I can't take any pictures. There were no doors on it, the windshield and the top of the car were on a hinge and slid up and forward to rest right over the motor. It was pretty neat. Anyone have an idea about what kind of car this was?

It's an old 70's early 80's car called a Bradley GT. Do a search on GOOGLE and you will find some. cool cars!

-FROG-, it looks alot like the Bradly GT, but the "doors" are different. The Bradly GT's look like they have gullwing doors, and on the car I saw, the entire top slid forward. It could have been modified though...

Re: Question on a kit car

Oh, Damn, I know the ones you are talking about, but I can't think of it. I know what you mean, where the front flips forward? Or did it slide?

It slid forward. It was pretty neat.
I just drew some pictures of what I am talking about and put them in my gallery. Please note that I am not a professional artist and my drawing abilities could be rivaled by those of a pop tart.

Re: Question on a kit car

Ah yes, you are right about the doors.... I can't think of the name of that car. Theres one of the cars you are talking about (where roof moves forward) in Cannon Ball Run 1 or 2....I think 1.
