Does anyone remember Bricklins being for sale?

I just watched a show on motor trend on demand about the Bricklin.  I am just about positive I went to buy one at least twice.  I grew up in New England.  I don't know much about the cars, but now that I see them I'm almost positive one would pop up now and again.  Is my memory as lousy as my driving?

They were sold from 74 into 75.  I was in college when they were being sold and remember them.  Never was interested in them though.

I was in middle school when they were sold new, but I remember them frequently being curbstoned. I always pointed and mocked them for being ugly. And this coming from someone who admired the Pacer. (Sorry. Should also just say "never was interested in them.")

I remember them.  I used to see one around the small town in NJ where I lived a few years.  I always thought they were wicked cool, along with Kelmarks and Bradley GT's.  Let's not forget what the average American car looked like in 1975.

I feel like seen a few on Craigslist here in SoCal. One pretty recently. And one in the junkyard too. 

I remember seeing a couple of rough-looking ones in the back of a car lot in Raleigh back in the late'70s or early'80s. Might have been at Helmold Ford? My dad knew what they were, but I wasn't really that interested because they were so ugly.

Interesting article from a 1975 issue of Car & Driver: LINK  Makes for an interesting performance comparison with my mildly modified 30-years-newer Mazdaspeed Miata.

There was one for sale in Omaha a few months ago while I was doing my daily search for a Javelin; shame that Malcom was such a prat about the gull wing doors, because eliminating those would have also eliminated more than 50% of the Bricklin's eventual problems.

If you buy one, you'll only get attention from us weirdoes. On the plus side tho... they actually were pretty safe into the 90s, especially in comparison to other cars in the era.

It's funny to hear the Bricklin described as "ugly."  Are these the same people buying modern Nissans?

With the exception of the unfortunate bumpers that plagued many cars of that era (MGB?) and without making any statement regarding the performance or build quality, I feel that the Bricklin is a very attractive design for its day.

not the one I remembered seeing recently but found this one in AZ on Facebook. Seems overpriced. 

Thanks all. For a minute I  thought I'd lost my memory.  I remember not buying them because there was no way to get parts.  I thought they were beautiful, still do.

Good documentary on motor trend.  It makes  you wonder what could have been.

Thanks for the memories.

The dealership my dad worked at, Stadel Volvo in Lancaster, PA, was in on the franchise.  I remember the big hockey-stick sign being stored in the basement years later.

I've got a couple of brochures/posters in my stash.  Seems like a pretty well-engineered car, with some thoughtful innovations.  I think that, had it been offered at a better time (no gas crisis, emission-hobbled 351, etc...) it might have done pretty well.

My son had one for awhile.  I got to drive it for day.   Nothing remarkable.

Never new what he did with it. 

The pride of New Brunswick!

Malcolm Bricklin received a pile of govt money for building the plant in New Brunswick and then poof, they were done!
