1975 Bricklin SV-1 from North America - Comments

The only things that have gone wrong with this car was the door's air system.

A couple usual engine things like spark plugs, hoses, and wires.

But other than that the car is a excellent car, I have some performance things on it like: Fram AirHog air filter, Holley 800 cfm Carburetor, Edelbrock Hi-Rise intake manifold, Truck Cylinder heads off of a 351 Windsor that was in a truck, JE Pistons forged pistons and connecting rods, Hooker Headers with Cherry Bombs, Moroso oil pan, C-6 Transmission upgrade, Performance oil pump, braided hoses, Accel 9mm spark plug wires, Flex-a-lite cooling fan.

I can go on and on about what I done to my Bricklin.

My car is really fast, I had mine to the 160 mark and beyond!.

The car is a awesome car. If you get your hands on one and you're a car nut like me, get it, don't let it pass you by.

It is a really fun car to drive because when the little kids see it going down the street and you hear them say " WOW, LOOK AT THAT! ", it really makes you feel special, especially when they see the doors open.

The car was developed by Malcolm Bricklin, hence the name.

Bricklin.

A true Bricklin fan would already know that.

How many bricklins are there in new zealand? I love them..

"My car is really fast, I had mine to the 160 mark and beyond!."

IN YOUR DREAMS!!!

Seriously, they are fast. With the 351 cubic inch engine and a four barrel on top it will scream.

I had to laugh- the Bricklin "whoever made the car"!

Surely someone is toying with us!!!

I owned a safety orange Bricklin for 5 years and it was a real head turner, but speed was not an option. These 351W engines were bogged down with the typical 1970's smog/pollution devices. Unless you have removed everything and boosted HP by 50%, this car would be lucky to do 120. The weight of this car was unreal as well. The bumpers would break your knee if you accidentally bumped into it. A fun car, but let's be real about the cars made in 1975. The 1974 had the better AMC 360 but still no speed burner.

Typical comment from someone who is used to driving a ferrari enzo, of course youre gonna think the bricklin is slow.

OK, all this talk about whether the car is fast or not, I don't know because I've never driven one. I would love to get one, and the one I'm looking at has the 351 in it, I don't need to go "super duper fast", but I at least want a little get up and go. What things can I do to the motor to some get some more kick to it.

Thanks.

I just heard a radio show about Canadian cars, and it said the Bricklin was made in Canada, in the Maritimes.

The car was built in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada from 1974 to 1976. check it out on wikipedia.
