1975 Ford Bricklin SV-1 74848 Miles Coupe 351 Windsor V8 Automatic

Description

Stock Number: 1008 This is a true piece of automotive history. Beautiful condition and loaded with all the Bricklin options. Only 324 made in Red and this is an excellent example. The Red used on the Bricklin's was an almost Orange looking Red, but designated Red in their brochure. The Malcolm Bricklin was an American millionaire who had previously founded Subaru of America. The car was designed by Herb Grasse. The model name (SV-1), stood for "safety vehicle one". The... Bricklin was designed for safety with an integrated roll cage, 5 mph (8.0 km/h) bumpers, and side beams. The body was fiberglass with bonded acrylic in five "safety" colors: white, red, green, orange and suntan. The cars had no cigarette lighter or ashtray. Non-smoker Malcolm Bricklin believed it was unsafe to smoke and drive. The Bricklin is the only production vehicle in automotive history to have powered gull-wing doors, that opened and closed at the touch of a button, as standard equipment. This would make a wonderful addition to any Ford Collection. Power Gull-Wing Doors - Work fine Pneumatic Conversion installed 351 Windsor V8 Automatic Transmission 1 0f 324 in Red Excellent Body & Finish Runs and Drives Has the Desirable AC Option Installed Very Clean Car Detailed Engine Compartment This car shows very well in person. The finish is very good, interior is far above average, engine compartment is outstanding. Nearly every Bricklin you will look at will have some cracking in the Acrylic finish. This one does show this same issue in the usual places. But as the overall finish of this car is so nice, it isn't really what you notice. So don't let that shy you away from this outstanding car. This Bricklin drives out as nice as it looks. It is one of the nicer examples we have seen come along in some time.
