Factory built 1982 Puma GTI Sold new at a Vancouver Puma Dealer

The Puma is a Volkswagen based specialty sports car built in Brazil. Strict Brazilian regulations which banned imports to encourage domestic automobile production led to the development of the Puma and other specialty vehicles. Production began in 1964 using DKW components, with a switch to VW components in 1967. This necessitated a change from front engine, front wheel drive to rear engine, rear wheel drive. The first Pumas were built strictly for racing, but it was not long before they were being built for street use. Pumas were sporadically imported to the U.S. during the 1970's and 1980's. Although the Puma was not designed as a kit car, the cars were imported in kit form. The "kit" was actually a complete car less the front suspension, transaxle, engine, wheels, and tires. The missing components were available from the distributor, or the buyer could supply the needed parts. Less restrictive regulations permitted the importation and marketing of complete cars in Canada..

The car had remote door, I have removed the selenoids and door handles are included. Ihave lostone of the window regulators. All glass is in perfect condition with thepuma stamp. This is the second Vancouver Puma I've owned that has had remote doors which leads me to believe this was something the dealer was offering when selling them new.
