I picked up a Ford powered Bricklin SV1 from my buddy Tavarish way down in florida. This car has been off the road for decades. Will it start? Will it drive the 700 miles home?

This car looks like it’s eating something.
Is there a chance of doing a line on a map off the way back to your base
Man you are the coolest guy Derek,they just aired your motortrend roadworthy rescues in the Netherlands and now i found your channel with hours and hours of exactly what i like to watch with the most fun dude on the planet! YES!
Is it me or does anyone see the Drinkers seat lookin like a face? 52:38
I would LOVE to hear an update on this project. Ive been patiently waiting, but i couldnt remember what the name of the gull winged, no hooded bastard was called!
Hope your getting payed to take that one..???lol rental car place is close!! Wishing you luck Derek… looks rigged up every Way known to man….
great Scott Derek, you forgot to fix the flux capacitor, other than that,you’d have made it 😉
I would have to say there feller. I would say most definitely that the 9k is most definitely legit! I almost sh$t when that thing fired right up & ran like a swiss watch!!!??!!! No wonder Ford put them in everything from pickup trucks to Lincoln's…. WOW! Quiet/SMOOOOOTH & GUTLESS! LOL… That is one plus of the smogged out,gutless V8s of the 70s. They were built for Max economy/mileage. So basically they were beater proof if left stock. Under powered/stressed lazy motors that never broke a sweat, lol …. I used to think it was crazy why they continued using Big blocks! Even making them bigger no doubt!?! Or having larger motors available / standard on California cars? Bottom line…under stressed/worked motors that couldn't break a sweat if it wanted to ran GREAT!!! Not to mention running FOREVER with simple know how & ridiculously affordable, easy to install parts/fluids etc….
I was the lead mechanical engineer during the development stage on this car. Wow, this really takes me back. I spotted the overheating issue Tavarish was likely struggling with immediately at 11:00…
Lol.. he said, a scratch on the roof.. lol
Send it to the ford junk yard with the rest of the junk fords
I owned a Bricklin for about 10 years. (Number 35 ever produced) I have mechanical ability. I did put about 500 miles, dozens of hours, and thousands of dollars into it.
Eventually, I abandoned it on the side of the road in utter frustration.
I feel less bad about my failure now…funny, I had all the same issues Derek had! 😅
Fan shroud and anti-freeze
What did happen to the brickland.
Good man Derek. God bless you and your son
Great video, but when you get it home, dig a hole and bury it 😂
Hahahaha! This is one of my most favorite revivals.
I tore apart torpedo motors in the Navy. We used an ultrasonic sink to clean parts out ALL THE TIME. As long as you don’t need the part right away.
That thing is not long for this world. lol.
Ford A+ Briklin = Ultímate POS
i would like to see a full restoration.
Just because, its a piece of Canadian history/stupidity.
Lol I have a feeling he stopped at Cafe risque
Sell that piece of crap for parts!
I never knew Jamal Murray was into cars like that.
That’s what happens when you work on a ferd
This tire…most likely can be patched… rofl
$50 for sparkulators? I freakin wish. It’s $90 for the 8 I need for my truck lol that’s ridiculous!
Just watched this one. I wonder what the fate of that abomination will be.
What did you mean by the tavern isnt your kind of establishment? Biker gang slinging coke?
What a work! what a man! How did he dare to hit the road whith such a car, Derek really got the guts! bravo.
Pure junk. It was when I rolled off the factory floor. "Hypercar"? Not ever. You have the patience of Job with this project…and your friend who sold you this POS.
What's the worst DEATHTRAP 😕 u have driven ⁉️and greatest distance ‼️⁉️🔥⚰🐀🐀🤳🚔😇🤙🙏🎯🏄♂️✝️🌉🇺🇸🔫🛑
Sadly not nearly as great as a Pantera but still a fascinating piece of history
edit: I knew that was gonna overheat. They kinda are notorious for it for obvious reasons. Should rout out those false louvers in the front
Derek, I love and respect you highly, but, what in the world are you gonna do with this POS car?
Original grill, and a few inches lower in the front. Then it will be mint🤌
