SEMA Show 2007 Exceeds Expectations!

We also saw a very early kit car, a Bricklin SV-1 (1975). This one was fully restored and modified in a bright orange. It's the only North American built gull-wing car. Manufactured primarily from Detroit parts from 1974 to 1976 in Brunswick Canada for exclusive sale in the US, there were only 5000 Bricklin SV-1s sold in NA. However, unfortunately there were only 2854 Bricklin cars built before Bricklin was forced into bankruptcy.
This orange one was a beauty, with a built-in roll cage, sideguard rails, and shock absorbing bumpers (quite an advancement for a kit car back then). The fiberglass body came in five colors (safety red, safety orange, safety green, safety suntan, and safety white) and was even recognized by Canada Post with its own limited edition stamp and the Canadian Mint with a $20 silver anniversary coin. This particular car was built by Syndicate Automotive Concepts.

Maybe 'restored' is a poor choice of word here - this is definitely a cool custom 'rebuild', and more than a simple 'restomod'. It could even be considered an 'Ambassador' to our hobby, based on the attention our cars have received through CCR's efforts. "O)
Kit Car???
Hmmm...does that mean a good many AMCs were kit cars as well?
Where is Brunswick Canada?
Seems there is a lower expectation for checking facts when publishing to the Internet these days.

| Would "Ambassador" mean it's worth more than the others? LOL. |
