It was created with a wrecked Oldsmobile Trofeo powertrain with the spindles welded. The VW chassis was cut off at the frame horns & the front wheel drive Trofeo powertrain was then fabricated & welded in place, mid engine. The side grills were made at my friends house in Phoenix. They are made from aluminum tubing tig welded into aluminum backing plates. One side of the air intakes, housed the oil cooler, the other intake, houses the radiator. Dick Creighton, sold the car for around $10,000 & moved to Kentucky. He has passed away & my friend Greg Whitney has lost track of Dick Creighton's Bradley GTII. The car was featured in a German kit car magazine article in 1991, I am not sure of what the magazine was called. I can see in your photo, the car had been re-painted yellow, then red & rear wheelwells modified.Looks like it has been neglected. My friend Greg Whitney & myself, would like to know where the car is at today. If you know where it is, please tell me. Thank you, william.

Post by: Carnut on February 26, 2016, 04:48:33 AM: Apparently Dick calls this car "Mariah".
It was my original NEH 4529 as "Mariah" didn't show up in the Search as the name is not mentioned anywhere in this thread, but it's too recent to re-post so here's the picture I was using instead:
