I Drove 5000 Miles And All I Got Was This STUPID Bricklin SV-1 From Vice Grip Garage?

So after 2 weeks on the road, traveling across the great United States of America it was time to head home. Before power tour I had made a deal with Derek from Vice Grip to buy his 1975 Bricklin SV-1. I didn't know much about the history of this hot rod other than it originally came from Tavarish in Florida....
The Bricklin was an over all flop when it was originally introduced to the market. It was only made for a few years with a total of 3000 cars built. So why would anyone want this junker? IT'S CANADIAN! A Canadian made car with gull wing doors? How could I not bring it home?
Derek gave me a good deal on the car, the payment actually went to charity, so at least someone wins from this transaction.

@MastaT_150 Год назад

Hey Dan if you happen to see this: Back in the day there was a TV show called “Chop Cut Rebuild” that did a whole rebuild series on an orange ‘75 Bricklin that turned out really sweet. It’s probably a bit dated now, which makes me feel old, but it’s definitely worth a quick search/watch if you wanted to learn some more about them or even get some inspiration or ideas in the event you do something with it in the future. Prior to seeing that show I had never heard of a Bricklin so anytime one pops up that car is the first thing that comes to mind. They are neat little cars with an interesting story.

We ended up continuing west to Canmore where we had to sleep in the back of our 70 roadrunner.. Got up in the morning and there was ice on the ground.. Had to sleep all night with the 440 motor rumbling to keep warm..

0:39 There was a vehicle, that is even harder to find that a Bricklin that was made in North Vancouver BC, called the Grizzly, it was a production built "mini" semi truck, that the idea behind it, was to rival the HumVee, but of course the US Government went with the HumVee, and the Grizzly went to Africa. If you GG Image Search "Grizzly trucks LTD" you will see a Yellow one on Flickr . I used to see the Blue pickup driving around North Van from time to time, and there is a red 4 door in Whistler at Route 99 & Lake Placid Rd beside the Seaside Diner GG Maps Lake Placid RD, Whistler BC.

@gothambaygroup3591 Год назад

Pretty cool projects but construction was less than perfect. I restored a couple of them. Those fiberglass panels are bonded to the metal innee structure. That bonding separates from the metal because the product back then was inferior. Going to have to peel it off and rebond it or it'll give you problems. Can be cool if done right.

His problem was the struts on the gull wing doors had gone bad and none of the parts houses in our part of Dallas had them , He had to wait till Delorian was introduced about 6 months later and bought the replacements for the Delorian door struts and they worked just fine on the Bricklin . The flip- up headlight motors came from a Corvette , those took some fabrication work to make those work !
