Sharing garage with...?


OK, not an Aston, but I have wanted a Bricklin since I was 17 years old. Finally acquired one with just 6250 miles. The spares and upkeep are from 70’s AMC Javelins and Gremlins, and a Ford engine, so I can still feed the AM habit. Just thought I’d share. What else is in your garage? (hope picture downloads successfully).

That's the best condition Bricklin I have ever seen. How do they drive? Any interior pics?

wow I've never even heard of one of those cars! the other stall of my garage is occupied by a Toyota 4runner now, sold the Cayenne as its not rugged enough to live out here.

Before I had the aston I used to own this 65 GTO with a friend, 5 speed Richmond racing transmission, carborated 455 god damn it was fun to drive, he got into an accident in it though bought me out and took it to an entirely new level of awesome

Didnt the Bricklin have a GM engine ?
It was a Canadian venture but it failed miserably similar circumstances to the DeLorean .
Anyways my garage is pretty crowded with storing cars for people . Pictures wont work as they are all wearing winter blankets

Haven't had a Miata in a while, but the Rio Yellow Pearl AP2 Honda S2000 (bone stock) shares the garage with the Vantage. Also currently still have a 1988 Mercedes 560 SEL that's leaving me soon; had to let go of something to make room for the Vantage. I'll miss it dearly.

Was this...


But it's currently at a shop looking more like this for now...


Should be home in a couple months, though.

I've only seen a Bricklin once, at a car show. Very cool.

Ok, the first car is my wife's 1963 Falcon Sprint Resto Mod. It is all modern underneath. The 200 6 has been beefed up so it performs like a 260 V8.(it is for sale) The next car is my 1965 Jaguar E-Type coupe. I have own since 2002. It is fully restored, with a 5speed trans up date. Te next car is my 1980 Triumph TR8. I have owned it for 1 1/2 years. It is mostly restored. The last car (photos from the seller) is my 1972 Triumph GT6. It is currently in the shop under going a full restoration and color change.
