I know all about the Bricklin SV-1, it should have been very successful, but Bricklin ran into production problems (in particular AMC couldn't supply him with enough engines) and the project fizzled just short of 3000 cars
It was actually inspired by the fiberglass bodied Fast-track IIs Bricklin had built on the Subaru 360 chasis (only one known to be street legal these days) It can be considered the 1970's counterpart to the 1980's DeLorean cars - unfortunately, because a Bricklin never traveled through time it's not nearly as well known or as sought after as the DeLorean (which IMHO is far less attractive)
