:lol: 
IMO:
Those things were a pile of, err, anyway, they were a pile.
Most of the interior switches, gauges, door fitments were AMC stuff. Likely the only things on it to actually work after a year or two. Work, yes. But look like third-world designs, too.
The struts to keep the HEAVY doors from being unusable would fail, nobody short of weight-lifter stature could open the things.
On top of all that the fit/finish look awful, the thing looks like a kit car badly designed from the jump.
"Dumplin' " :smirk:

On the Bricklin SV-1 front, I've seen a few moldering away in various collections, but have *never* seen on in motion. To think that the AMC bits were the *good* bits. Wow. My parents had 2 AMC Sportabouts in a row. Not much Sport there.

AMC ran out of engines at some times so Bricklan used a number of subs including Ford and Chrysler. There was an episode of "Chop Cut Rebuild" that was apparently financed by someone from the state of California. It required massive amounts of reconstruction from the ground up and in the end just looked like a pimped out Brick. A waste of good talent, time and resources.
