This is the cleanest Bricklin SV-1 you can buy

Safety is sexy; that phrase was never more true than with the introduction of the Bricklin SV-1. Dreamt up by automotive pioneer Malcolm Bricklin – the same man responsible for bringing Subaru into the U.S. – the SV-1 hit the scene in 1974, and touted its many safety features, including an integrated roll cage, 5 mile-per-hour (8 kilometer-per-hour) bumpers, and side beams.

Unfortunately, all that safe thinking didn’t translate into sales. The added equipment made the car too heavy to compete, and production ended in 1975 after just two years. Less than 420 original cars are known to still exist. Of those remaining examples, this one could be the most pristine. With just 1,800 original miles (2,896 kilometers) on the odometer, it's up for sale on eBay and has a asking price of $42,900.

I've always wanted to do a Bricklin, but unrestored examples are disgusting usually and parts??? You are kidding, right?

By the way, 0-60 in 10 seconds for a 1976 car isn't terribly slow contrary to what the article says.

Made in New Brunswick Canada. But not available for sale to Canadians as Bricklin was not part of the CAN/US Auto-Pact. Amazing how little power old big block V8's generated during that time period.

My father almost bought one of these, but ended up getting a 260Z. He still has the brochure.

That, sir, is worth something better known as a pretty penny.
