This 1975 Bricklin SV-1 was originally delivered to Bantam Motors of Bantam, Connecticut, and reportedly remained unregistered with the owner of the dealership until being acquired in 2021 by the seller, who titled it in Connecticut. The car is finished in Safety Suntan with black lower bodywork over a brown interior. Power comes from a 351ci Windsor V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes silver 15″ aluminum wheels, power-assisted brakes, gullwing doors, pop-up headlights, a dual-outlet exhaust, air conditioning, and a Bricklin Digi-Plex AM/FM radio. Work since 2019 is said to have included flushing and cleaning the fuel tank, rebuilding the carburetor and brake master cylinder, and changing the engine oil.
The SV-1 features composite bodywork finished in Safety Suntan (5) that is mounted to a steel perimeter frame with an integrated roll-over structure. Additional features include pop-up headlights, gullwing doors, impact-absorbing bumpers, and a dual-outlet exhaust.
Silver 15″ aluminum wheels are mounted with FR60-15 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires featuring raised white lettering. The SV-1 used braking and suspension components sourced from the AMC Hornet, and the brake master cylinder is said to have been rebuilt in 2019.
The cabin features high-back bucket seats trimmed in brown with button-tufted inserts that are complemented by a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include air conditioning, three-point seat belts, and a Bricklin Digi-Plex AM/FM radio.
The three-spoke steering wheel fronts VDO instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and center stack-mounted auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer indicates approximately 2,200 miles.
The Ford-sourced 351ci Windsor V8 sends power to the rear wheels through a Ford FMX three-speed automatic transmission and live rear axle. Work since 2019 is said to have included rebuilding the carburetor, flushing and cleaning the fuel tank, and changing the oil.
Items accompanying the car include manufacturer’s literature and a July 1974 issue of Car and Driver.
