Overview of 1976 Bricklin SV-1 For Sale by Owner

Look what we’ve got here! A legendary Bricklin SV-1, the creation of Malcoln Bricklin, gullwing doors and all! With less than 3,000 cars made between 1974 and 1976, more people have heard of the Bricklin SV-1 than seen it in person! The car is a sporty two-seater that actually placed a focus on safety as well – in fact SV-1 is said to be an abbreviation of ‘Safety Vehicle One’. Some of these safety features included energy-absorbing bumpers and an integrated roll-over structure. This particular unicorn is up for grabs in Roseville, California and has got under 87,000 miles on the clock. We also see that some extra mirrors, a steering wheel and a car cover are provided with the sale.

Exterior and Interior

Coming in a bright shade of yellow, this 1976 Bricklin SV-1 looks awesome as it drives by! It’s got pop-up headlamps, a fiberglass composite body and gullwing doors that gloriously stretch upwards to grant you access or exit. The color isn’t paint, by the way, it’s impregnated within the composite body. The car’s lower portions are in contrasting black and even its alloy wheels have a vibe of futurism about them. The car isn’t that large by American standards either, being 178.6 inches long and 67.6 inches wide. However, its height is just 48.3 inches, making it a real road-hugger. Oh, and those gullwing doors are hydraulically powered! The interior of this 1976 Bricklin SV-1 comes in brown with plushly padded seats and a high level of equipment for a 1970s car. Then again, this was a basically hand-built limited production automobile with a premium price tag when new. Features include air conditioning, a Kenwood radio with cassette tape player and a separate equalizer, a wood-rimmed steering wheel and wood-trimmed e-brake lever. You’ve also got some decent cargo space behind the seats, and it’s easy to access from the large glass rear liftback window.

Engine

Power comes from a Ford-sourced 351ci Windsor V8, naturally aspirated and upgraded with an aftermarket Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, offering improved throttle response and serviceability over the original setup. The engine is paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels, a common configuration for later-production SV-1s. A steel perimeter frame provides structural rigidity, while the coil-spring suspension delivers a compliant ride suited for grand touring use. Rather than chasing outright performance, the Bricklin’s mechanical package prioritizes drivability, simplicity, and reliability—consistent with its original mission as a safety-oriented GT.

1975 Bricklin SV-1

Current Ask
SOLD

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.

$35,000

The 1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan captures the long, low, unmistakable style that made Chevrolet’s full-size cars such icons of the 1960s. Showing approximately 28,076 miles, this example combines a 327ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, while power steering and power brakes make it considerably easier to enjoy from behind the wheel. Finished in Red over a Black interior, it also benefits from tasteful modern upgrades including aftermarket coilover suspension and a Bluetooth-capable sound system, adding usability without taking away from the car’s classic character.

$45,000

This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s second-generation F-body and gives it a much more aggressive enthusiast-focused personality. Showing approximately 752 miles, this example combines a 383ci stroker V8 with a 750 CFM Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a 4-speed manual transmission, giving it the kind of old-school muscle-car formula that puts driver involvement front and center. Finished in Black with custom Purple & Red flame graphics, this Camaro also features a Hurst shifter, Grant GT steering wheel, aftermarket gauges, and a number of exterior and audio upgrades that give it a distinctly custom-built character.

$50,500

The 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop is the kind of Mopar that gets enthusiasts interested before the hood is even opened. Its clean B-body lines, pillarless hardtop profile, Soft Yellow paint, black vinyl roof, and Magnum 500-style wheels give it the restrained factory muscle look of the mid-1960s, but this example carries much more serious hardware underneath. Showing approximately 91,610 miles, it is powered by a 440ci big-block V8 backed by a TorqueFlite 727 automatic, giving it the kind of drivetrain combination that feels right at home in a classic Plymouth. Add power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, and a dual exhaust system, and this Belvedere blends old-school Mopar attitude with enough comfort to make it more than just a weekend bruiser.
