Its a great, gritty, business saga....with cars as the backdrop

Somewhat comical...esp. if you have ever tried raising capital from loan sharks to snooty private equity dorks

Its no surprise this guy has made millions many times over....that persistence, perseverance, and push to get on one more Greyhound speaks volumes....

Kayvan, many thanks for posting. Once started, I couldn't stop watching it until the end. I was rooting for Malcolm. Incredible tenacity.

I have a 1974 bricklin SV1. It is car # 69. I bought it in Philly a few years back (God only knows why) and took it to Terry Tanner at Bricklin Parts and Service in Bedford Va. Terry was the chief engineer for Bricklin and now runs a small busniess only restoring Bricklins. The following are pictures of the car when I bought it, during dis-assembly, completely dis-assembled, coming back together and then almost together.

I will place a second post that shows the car waiting for me to opick up to take to Phoenix to my body man at Hamilton Restorations for paint. The car is sitting in Va. waiting for me to come get it at this time.

I first heard of Bricklin when I read that article in the Arizona Republic when I was a teen ager. I have been intrigued with him ever since. Balls the size of watermelon and never gives up. I love this guy!
