Hi. I am putting my Bricklin up for sale, so I thought I would try here
first.
White 1975 Bricklin SV1 #2121 for sale - 90,000 miles, two owners - $10,500
or best offer. Car is in the Black Forest near Colorado Springs.
Full history since new - first owner bought the car from dealer in Midland,
Texas, registered it in So Cal, and drove it 89,000 miles in ten years.
After several failures of the hydraulic door opening system, the car sat in
his So Cal garage from Spring 1985 till August 2007, when I acquired it. I
had the car worked on in a Riverside (CA) shop, and moved shortly after
getting the car back (in Spring 2008) to Colorado. I have the following
documents from the original owner: sale documents from Texas, various bills
including installation of a new engine in 1979, two workshop manuals, and
the owner's manual with notes regarding maintenance done from new till the
car was put in storage in 1985. Body is straight and frame has no rust, but
this car has the typical body panel/door fit as from the factory. I have the
receipts for all the work done since 2007. Car has a clear Colorado title,
and I have a copy of the original California title.
The bad:
Ammeter not working (I have a spare to install) - I am using a battery
monitor plugged in an electrical outlet (added under passenger dash in 2008)
Door wiring on passenger side needs replacing (solenoid clicking when
opening)
Fuel sender unit not working
Driver door's skin coming loose (I have the adhesive to fix that)
Outside door switches do not work
Wheels need two new center caps (two good ones, one cracked, one missing)
