Typical sold price of a Bricklin SV-1 ranges from $6,264 to $51,359, based on 137 sales tracked on Hypercars. 9 currently for sale.
The Bricklin SV-1 was the brainchild of entrepreneur Malcolm Bricklin, built in New Brunswick, Canada. Marketed as a "Safety Vehicle," it featured an integrated steel roll cage, energy-absorbing bumpers, and a composite acrylic-fiberglass body. Its most famous features are its power-operated gullwing doors, which weighed nearly 100 pounds each.
The car's story of ambition and spectacular failure makes it a fascinating collector's item. Produced for only 3 model years and with fewer than 3,000 made, it's a rare and unusual piece of 1970s automotive history. The dramatic styling guarantees it's a conversation starter at any car show.
The SV-1 market has seen steady appreciation. With an average sale price around $30,000, it's an accessible classic. However, exceptional, low-mileage examples have commanded prices over $100,000, signaling a shift from quirky oddity to a recognized collectible.
Prices range from around $7,500 for projects to over $101,000 for the best examples.
