History
Rino Malzoni's racing-derived Puma began with DKW components, moved to Volkswagen platforms after 1967 and later added the Chevrolet-Opala-based GTB. GTE/GTS production made the marque internationally visible; the historical car business ceased in the early 1990s.
Highlights
Fibreglass coachwork, low mass and familiar mechanical parts define Puma. About 8,705 GTEs and 888 GTB S2s are commonly recorded. A GTB known to have been in Melbourne illustrates the marque's Australian rarity, not an easy local parts supply.
Technical Data
Market Overview & Buying Tips
European 2024 sales of €16,900 for a GT 1600 and €17,000 for a GTE provide a reference only. Most Australian buyers will face LHD import, shipping, import approval, biosecurity cleaning, state compliance and registration costs. Confirm eligibility before purchase. Inspect the VW floorpan, suspension mounts and battery area; inspect fibreglass for stress cracks and old filler. VW consumables are obtainable, but Puma glass, trim and correct lamps may require overseas sourcing.
Driving Feel
The GTE feels compact and lively rather than fast by modern standards. Its rear-mounted air-cooled engine rewards careful tyre choice and alignment. The GTB trades that agility for six-cylinder torque and cruising character.
Design
Early cars use shark-gill vents, while later Brasília-based bodies are broader. Check every non-standard lamp, wheel and instrument against period evidence.
Summary
Find a Puma with verified identity, strong chassis and an import budget that includes compliance. It is a Brazilian classic, not a routine Volkswagen restoration.
