The finish is the original safetyWhite most popular color from the factory. It is a matching numbersPA car with a clearCA title. The former owner was a member of the International Bricklin Owners Association and the door opening remains stock hydraulic and works system. Some people think because this is a fiberglass car they do not rust - that is untrue. There are many parts on the car that are steel and are very prone to rust. Some Bricklins that are put up for sale will not show any photos of the underside because of their rust problems. This car has NO rust and still has factory labels, ot stickers and hand markings everywhere you look. It was stored for many years in a heated garage and was only driven1100 miles since1996 but it was regularly started and warmed up over the years. It is difficult to find any 40 year old car in this kind of condition and with low mileage. The Bricklins are classy V8 sports cars with gull wing doors and are undervalued but the prices have been climbing. This car will last for many years and will do nothing but appreciate in value.

An extremely attractive sports car survivor. It is difficult to find any 40 year old car in this kind of condition anymore with such low mileage. A car that will last for many years and can do nothing but appreciate in value. These cars have been undervalued but are now moving up and are poised for high percentage gains.

I can accomodate anyone to show them the car. It is described to the best of my ability along with many good photos but it is the bidders ultimate responsibility to ensure that what he thinks he is getting is indeed one in the same and something he will be happy with. I have purchased and sold roughly15 autos through ebay over the past 12 years 100% feedback and also many more over the telephone and have always had excellent results and complete satisfaction from the buyers but I do my due diligence and suggest you do the same. I describe things as honestly as humanly possible.
