Description

Featured is a 1967 Puma GTE that has just been completely restored. It started off as a low-mileage example with a rust-free pan which was then coated in POR-15 to ensure years of worry-free maintenance. The body was meticulously honed and repainted in PPG Ferrari Corsa Rosa Red & Nero black paint and hand polished to a mirror finish.

All of the electrics were by replaced by a modern Painless Wiring harness which feature modern fuses and expandable ports. The interior and engine bay were coated in Lizard Skin sound deadening & heat shield to reduce engine and road noise/heat. The interior features Porsche 356 reproduction seat frames a one-off center console Alpine head unit featuring Bluetooth and USA capabilities 8” sub mids & highs. The Door panels carpet and rear component panels were hand-built by Sculpt Garage and emulate a vintage Italian flare which compliments the body lines of this car very well.

The stock wheels were replaced with 15” Dayton Triple Cross Wire Wheel (spline mounted not lug nuts) and mounted with Toyo Proxy 888 tires (including spare). The torsion bar suspension was replaced with an Airkewld suspension featuring two tanks pump and cockpit controls for on-the-road adjustment as needed. A 2270cc Type IV (185 hp) built by by Jake Raby (Massive Type IV) was mated to a 5-speed Custom transaxle to provide this light-weight racer some thoroughbred performance. Also featured are custom engine tins & and auxiliary oil cooler to ensure that this powerful motor will run cool on the hottest of summer days.

A A-1 Sidewinder stainless exhaust with purpose-built exhaust tips were fabricated to make sure that the engine did not have any restrictions on breathing. To feedback information to the driver Speedhut Revolution Gauges including a GPS speedometer fuel gauge tach oil pressure oil temp and amp meter were installed.

We also ceramic coated the Gas tank and retro-fitted it with a larger fuel supply line to feed the new electric fuel pump. The fuel delivery system includes two fuel filters fuel pressure gauge and braided steel fuel lines for both reliability and presentation.

All rubber components and bushings were replaced with new units for years of worry-free driving. No expenses were spared on this and and it would take every penny of $90000 to reproduce. The car currently has less and 10 miles on it since restoration. Additionally there are loads of spare that come with the car including many hard-to-find items specific to the Puma. Interestingly enough it is easy to maintain since the mechanicals of this car are readily available here in the States. For more information visit w-w-w[dot]pumagte[dot]c-o-m or send me a question. I will more than happy to answer any questions.
