A True Factory-Built Brazilian Sports Car 

Central Classic Cars is proud to offer this exceptionally rare 1984 Volkswagen Puma GTC, one of the most desirable and collectible Volkswagen-based sports cars ever produced. Finished in a stunning Red Candy Gel Coat and powered by a strong 1600cc Air-Cooled Volkswagen engine equipped with Dual Weber Carburetors, this factory-built Brazilian roadster delivers exotic styling, legendary Volkswagen reliability, and collector-car exclusivity all in one remarkable package.
Unlike the countless Volkswagen-based replicas and kit cars seen on the market, the Puma GTC was a genuine production automobile manufactured by Puma in Brazil. These cars were produced in limited numbers and were never officially imported into the United States, making authentic examples exceptionally difficult to find today.
This Puma has benefited from numerous recent updates including a complete new interior, new tires, powder-coated wheels, and a new rear window in the convertible top. The engine has been professionally reviewed and serviced with a fresh oil change and the car runs and drives exceptionally well.

The Puma Story

The Puma story began in Brazil during the 1960s when Puma set out to create a stylish sports car utilizing proven Volkswagen mechanical components. The result was a series of lightweight fiberglass-bodied sports cars that combined European-inspired design with the simplicity and reliability of the air-cooled Volkswagen platform.
The Puma GTC became the company's flagship convertible roadster and remains one of the most sought-after versions today. Produced in limited numbers and sold primarily in the Brazilian market, very few examples ever reached North America. Most collectors and Volkswagen enthusiasts have never had the opportunity to see one in person.
