82 Puma

1982 Puma GTC. It's a fiberglass body "kit car" made in Brazil. The Puma evolved through several
body styles from the early '60's to the late '80's. It was built on a shortened VW pan. It was called a
kit car but was only sold fully assembled minus the engine and running gear. So you could import it as a kit,
then install the engine/transaxle of your choice.
I've owned it since 2001. It has a 1600cc type 1 engine with hydraulic valve lifters
and a shortened gear ratio for quicker acceleration.
