Caveat: I have seen numerous ads for Bricklins that describe the original interior as LEATHER. This is a misstatement. Original Bricklin interiors were finished in VINYL, not leather. The interior upholstery in my vehicle is the original "leather and suede-look" vinyl material, common to most cars from this era. Question any ad that claims a “factory original” leather interior.
Background on this vehicle: The Bricklin listed here is a 1975, number 1643. This puts it roughly in the middle of the total production run of 2854 cars. Of these, Bricklin.org says there are about 1500 left, so this is a relatively rare vehicle.
I purchased this car from its original owner, who bought it from Jim Witt Pontiac-GMC in Lowell, MA. Witt was a Bricklin dealer. When I acquired the car it had 1,025 miles on the odometer. At the time of this posting, the odometer is at 19,090 miles. I still drive the car, so the miles will be a bit higher when you buy it. It is insured and licensed as a “daily” driver.
The body is original color-impregnated acrylic panels laminated to fiberglass. Because the color is in the acrylic, the orange panels are not painted
The engine is a stock Ford 351 Windsor 2-barrel mated to an FMX three-speed automatic.
The title is clear.
