What exactly is a Bricklin SV-1? Built between 1974 and 1976 with a production run of less than 3000 units, it was one of the quirkier sports cars of the 70s. The name comes from Malcolm Bricklin; the founder of the company and the creator of the SV-1. SV-1 is an abbreviation of “Safety Vehicle 1”. The design was done by Herb Grasse. While the first prototypes were ready by late 1972, it would be early 1974 by the time it was finally launched, and the final product had some significant changes compared to the early prototypes. 3 cars were also leased to the police department of Scottsdale, Arizona. Despite its interesting design, and its color-impregnated fiberglass body and safety features, rising prices and other problems ultimately led to the closure of Bricklin in 1975, with the last few cars being completed and sold in 1976 by Consolidated Motors (who bought the remnants of the company). This example was built in 1975 and has been signed by Malcolm Bricklin himself.
The most important part of this car’s design is the Corvette-like fiberglass body, which had the car’s color integrated into it rather than being painted. 5 colors were offered - this one is blue. One of its main safety features was the roll cage integrated into the chassis. Visually, its main eye-catching features are the hidden headlamps and the air gullwing doors. This vehicle has a gray/black interior with a new mahogany dash and steering wheel. It also has new gauges. The A/C is fully functional. The car has been fully restored with a new paintjob and new BF Goodrich tires. It has its owner’s manual and brochure and retains its original wheels. The bumpers were designed to absorb energy in an impact up to 5 mph.
Being a 1975 model, this car has the 351ci Ford Windsor V8 with a 3-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. The engine has been rebuilt. It also has new suspension and brakes. The brakes consist of discs at the front and drums at the back, power assisted. According to the seller, this vehicle has just 34000 miles on it.

Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.
Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
