Folks, I bought a Corvette as my new toy, so the Bricklin just sits in the
garage and has to go. I advertised it here a few weeks ago, and here it is
again, at a reduced price.
White 1975 Bricklin SV1 #2121 for sale - 81,000 miles, two owners (same
family) - $8,500. Car is in the Black Forest near Colorado Springs.
Full history since new - first owner (my father in law) bought the car from
dealer in Midland, Texas, registered it in So Cal, and drove it 79,000 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. I also have a folder with the
wiring diagrams. Body is straight and frame has no rust. 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 door needs replacing (solenoid clicking when
opening)
Fuel sender unit (in gas tank) 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)
