Hold on... lets think about this a bit more. The guy buys the beautiful car, which even when new, was known for its quirkiness. As it said in the video, he moved a few times. I'd be willing to bet that 5 years after the car was built, it was virtually impossible to find anyone competent to work on it, or the parts necessary to fix the car. (This is pre-internet time.) The owner obviously liked and drove it, he bought new tires for it at one point! (The tire labels aren't from when the car was new - they are long gone by the time a new car gets to a dealership.) While I'd like to have seen the car cared for better too, at least the owner didn't leave it outside to rot, and he got in touch with Larry to have it fixed up. I'm gonna cut him some slack.

He rarely took it out of the garage, but he had a daughter my age and we used to car pool for various things so he would occasionally pick me up in it since he knew as a teenage guy I was into cool cars. I was never sure if he realized a young teenage boy was more concerned with his hot, blonde, teenage daughter on his lap in the two seater than the car ride!

I was QC supervisor at the assembly plant in Saint John, NB Canada when the first car rolled of the assembly line and was there when we got word that the plant was closing due to the Provincial Government no longer financing the manufacturer. I was in charge of inspection of the frame and body fabrication, engine and axle assembly. The bodies were acrylic molded over fiberglass, not painted. Everything was fiberglass except the tubular frame underneath, the passenger compartment and the gullwing door frames.The carpets were not green but a tan, matching the interior. It was a good idea to change from hydraulic to air system door openers that were changed by others years later. We had the occasional hydraulic line break during assembly testing which made a huge mess. Overall it was a beautiful, powerful car. i wish I had one.

Thats because he doesn't just have the process down, he took the effort of understanding the theory and reasons for most detailing practices.

I was in High School when the three Bricklins donated to Scottsdale. Police used them for PR building, especially with the youth. The cars spent more time in the shop than on tour though because people would lean on the open doors and overwhelm the supports causing the cars to go into the shop. Rinse and repeat.... The strobe light and siren set up looked so funky because the car was too low for the strobe lights to be seen by other drivers. After all was said and done, the cars were a lost cause and the department got rid of them.

Always watch your videos but never commented until now. Love what you do, and your face usually tells a huge story, the passion and excitement it displays is infectious. Keep up the good work sir and thank you for sharing!

Holy crap! Is that Robin Leech of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous? Wow, haven't seen him in years! So you really found 2 classics!

What an absolutely negligent owner. Shame on him for letting it decay. He should have sold it years ago to someone who would actually care for it.

I love it when people find older cars like this and bring them back to life. I wish I could afford a car like the Bricklin CV-1.

CV-1? Cool Vehicle 1?

They’ve really jumped in price. They were quite cheap. I just looked them up and found one in Florida for $55K. Wouldn’t surprise me if KZfaq made them desirable.

This car was built in my home town of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, there’s a guy a town over that has restored two of them and has them in his driveway all summer

It's just criminal that someone has enough money to buy a car like that, then put it in stupid storage and let it be destroyed.

"Defunkification" that is definitely a word I will be using in the future. Your work is amazing. I thought I was the queen of clean...until I watched this video. I'd be a close second because I would have run for the hills after finding the critter nests and maggots. Yuck!

I spent several years detailing cars and never did anything remotely this bad. I thought I cleaned some really dirty pigs, but this is a whole different level.

This is what happens when you have more money then sense. This owner should have sold it years ago instead of letting it rot away. Me thinks someone has a hoarding problem.

A person holding a car for 24 years in those conditions and then pretends to be surprised by the result is to lock up inside a manichomy.

I probably did the pre-delivery service on that car. I was a mechanic at Bantam Motors on Rt. 202 in Bantam, CT in 1974/1975 and we sold Bricklins in addition to Toyotas. There were a LOT of quality control issues with those cars - particularly with the way the body panels would delaminate. My memory is that in the year I worked there they delivered about half a dozen of those cars.

Hi I'm the new owner of this car! This particular one was sold new at Bantam Motors so you probably did do the original PDI. Hopefully soon enough she will be as good as when it left your shop!
