GULL WING DOORS WORK AMAZING! ********************************************************** THIS WONDERFUL AND ULTRA RARE BRICKLIN HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT. THE CLASSIC COLLECTIBLE CAR ONLY HAS 21,410 ACTUAL MILES. FIRST A LITTLE HISTORY: THE BRICKLIN IS A GULL-WING SPORTS CAR THAT WAS MANUFACTURED PRIMARILY FROM DETROIT PARTS IN 1974- THROUGH EARLY 1976 IN NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA FOR EXCLUSIVE SALE IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE WERE 2854 CARS BUILT BEFORE BRICKLIN WENT BANKRUPT. AN ESTIMATED 1500 STILL EXIST TODAY. THE SINGLE MODEL WAS GIVEN THE DESIGNATION SV-1 FOR SAFETY VEHICLE 1. IT HAD A BUILT IN ROLL CAGE, SIDE GUARD RAILS AND SHOCK ABSORBING BUMPERS THAT RECEDED INTO THE CAR. IT WAS NOTONLY SAFE IN AN ACCIDENT BUT HAD POWER AND HANDLING TO AVOID ONE. THE BRICKLIN FAR EXCEEDED SAFETY REQUIREMENTS OF THE TIME. THE BRICKLIN WAS A FUTURISTIC VEHICLE WHICH WAS WELL LIKED BY OWNERS AND AUTOMOTIVE PRESS, BUT WAS NEVER PRODUCED IN LARGE ENOUGH NUMBERS TO BE PROFITABLE. THE SECOND DISTINGUISHING DESIGN FEATURE OF THE BRICKLIN BESIDES THE GULL-WING DOORS IS THE ACRYLIC BODY. A VACUUM FORMING PROCESS BONDED COLOR IMPREGNATED ACRYLIC TO EACH FIBERGLASS BODY PANEL. THE BRICKLIN WAS DELIVERED TO THE CUSTOMER WITHOUT PAINT. THE MINOR SCRATCHES WOULD BE BUFFED OUT. THE BRICKLIN CAME IN COLORS OF RED,ORANGE,GREEN,SUNTAN, AND WHITE. ALL CARS WERE BLACK BELOW THE BELTLINE AND HAD BEIGE INTERIORS ONLY THE BRICKLIN DID NOT COME WITH SPARE TIRE WHATS GREAT ABOUT THE BRICKLIN IS THAT IT CAN BE SERVICED ANYWHERE. THE PARTS ARE EASY TO FIND AND WITH THE FORD ENGINE VERY EASY TO SERVICE AND TAKE CARE OF!!! YOU WILL GET LOTS OF LOOKS AND MANY QUESTIONS EVERYTIME OUT WITH THIS SPECIAL CAR.
