A Puma is a Brazilian sports car that was exported to Canada as well as
the US in the latesixties and early 70's. Thet are a fiberglass body with
a VW or Porche engine. They look a litle like a Porche 908. A friend of
mine still has one which he will restore one of these days. They are
factory built, not a kit car but production was limited.
Having never heard or seen one of those how many readers remember the
Manic GT built in Granby Que 1969 to 1971.
