I believe it was Car and Driver that said, at the time, that the Bricklin looked like a Corvette swallowing an 8-track tape.
Now that you mention it... it kinda does lol
I can't stop laughing at that lmfao!!!!
it was on the front cover of the July, 1974 issue. the bricklin was built in Saint John, New Brunswick Canada. I heard he had issues with the conservative party government of New Brunswick Canada and Richard Hatfield who was the premier at the time.

BAHAHA!
The Delorean was built just outside Belfast in Northern Ireland, where the titanic was also built, they weren't any good but they both made good movies right??
Well The Delorean was made Dunmurray and Titanic was queens island. Close enough I guess....
To be fair to the Titanic hitting an iceberg isn’t usually good for any ship and its sister ship the Olympic survived well enough (Britannic hit a mine and sank but war).
The Olympic class ships were magnificent. Titanic was sunk by a fire before she left port
DeLorean is two movies and a few documentaries? Titanic is a A+ movie, countless documentaries, museums, and what not. Titanic wins this drag race.
Anyways, people who's buying old cars don't care who beats who.
@@mycosys I think you ment sunk by the Icebergians??
How is it possible that these two cars have never been reviewed... side by side? Another brilliant idea for a video. Thanks. (As a Canadian- I always thought Manhattan was in New York State. Who would’ve ever ‘thunk’).
Manhattan is in New York state. It's one of the five borough's of NYC.
Thought*
And i always thought London was in England.. Then i went to Ontario.
@@invetegon4596 Yes, but this car collection is in Manhattan Kansas. There is also Manhattan Montana.
Hoovie didn't pass Geography - also, Northern Ireland IS in the UK agreed - but it's NORTHERN IRELAND.
This may be the drag race that nobody asked for but it’s the drag race I never knew I needed
I agree.
Word for word what I was going post.
I never knew a Bricklin was a thing
It's not the drag race you need. But it's the drag race you deserve. 🦇
Except it's garbage. The SV-1 was on par in performance with the Corvette Stingray and is consistently 2-3 seconds faster than the DeLorean 0-60. This video was completely set up.
I have specifically asked for this multiple times.
Austin's Garage Yugo vs Trabant would be cool too
@@radracer2033 the yugo should smoke the trabant lol
you should race aging wheels Trabant with your yugo
Why don’t you upload anymore?
Exactly, nobody asked for it.
The Bricklin, being a '75 with the Ford 351W only had 175hp, whereas the early '74s had a 220hp AMC 360. If you had one of the 150 or so Bricklins with a stick, I think the results of the drag race would be different.
Thank you Hoovie for providing us with content no one else will
Wait until you search his name on Pornhub...

Watch MotorWeek Bricklin on TH-cam
A guy living in the apartment complex across from my townhouse complex owns a Bricklin and I always smile when he takes it out. Very unique vehicle.
I may stand alone here -- but I'd say the Bricklin was clearly ahead of its time in terms of styling.
Way ahead of its time. You look at some of the other cars coming out in the early-mid 70's and it's easy to see why people initially went nuts over the Bricklin. It's also hard to not atleast respect their attempts at innovation, not just with styling but with the safety measures and the acrylic body. Unfortunately with innovation comes significant risk and in this case it didn't work out.
I think you need to drive my Bricklin. There's something wrong with that one if it can't outrun a Delorean. The Bricklin was tested by Autoweek and it outperformed the 1975 Corvette in acceleration handling and breaking. Most Bricklins have been fitted with faster more reliable air powered doors and air powered headlights. That's the problem with all original Bricklins they need a few upgrades to make them a car you can drive all day. The upgrades don't take away from the originality it just makes them better. Once again I invite you to drive my Bricklin. 😎
I want to try your Bricklin!
Yep, the Bricklin definitely broke more than the Corvette 😂
You can try racing my ‘75 Stingray, but I swapped the engine and took out the cat 😅
Nothing says great handling like a Hotchkiss system of leaf springs on a live axle. Smh
Everyone keeps forgetting that this was the era of GM's Vega. Bricklin did really well, considering their scant financial resources.
As someone who owns both a Bricklin and a Delorean, i've never been more excited to click on a video
Which one in your opinion is more reliable for a daily driver?
That Bricklin was running terrible, they were considerably faster than the Delorean, in both 0-60 and quarter mile. Both are extremely slow though.
My dad and his brothers used to flip cars in the 80s, one of which was a white AMC-powered Bricklin. My dad loved the car and says they were all stunned that it was faster than a 327 C3 Corvette. Unfortunately, as a flip car he wasn't able to keep it.
The Bricklin is far more of a looker
My friend Pat has a white AMC 360 Bricklin. His dad bought it in Florida in the early 90’s and Pat drove it home to Wichita. I wonder if it was the same one?
A good running Bricklin should easily run away from a DeLorean. The two cars weighed about the same and the Bricklin had much more power than the wimpy French V6
I find that most people who say a DeLorean is slow have never actually driven one. I own one and I can unequivocally tell you that it has a lot of pep to it, especially the manual. Even I was surprised when I first got behind the wheel.
My dad briefly had an early Bricklin with the AMC 360 engine, and loved that car. He came from a Chevy family and was able to compare it to a 327 powered early C3 Corvette, and says the Bricklin was much faster. Unfortunately most Bricklins were later models with emissions-choked engines and that meant it never could get a reputation for performance.
Regarding the Bricklin: I don't care what anyone says, that body style is STILL relevant today. With a proper engine and transmission and modern tech it would be a great car....
I agree it looks awesome. Compared to some of the hideous boats coming out in the early 70's this thing is attractive as hell
My neighbor used to have a Bricklin! I'm glad to see one still around.
I live in Manitoba Canada and a guy I work with owns a bricklin and has worked on every bricklin in the province. Says there is about 7 bricklins in MB.
The Bricklin was manufactured in my hometown of Saint John New Brunswick in Canada. The issues wire the pop up head lights and the doors failing (those doors were heavy). They would barely make a dent and destroy another car. but if you were in an emergency situation, who couldn't escape. The company went bankrupted, but I love how they could hold up in an accident.
I didn't realize SJ was involved; I associate them with Minto.
@@heatherelliott6532 Minto was where the body panels were made. The cars were assembled in Saint John.
The Bricklin was years ahead of its time, and it probably always will be.
Gremlin vs Pacer🤔
They're both from the same manufacturer,it should be Gremlin Vs Pinto,and Vega.
What Gremlin vs pregnant Gremlin. Lol
The v8 Gremlin would kick the Pacer's ass
Driven by drag queens.
Yawn.
Drag racing a DeLorean must feel like rolling down hill in a metal garbage can
MaxSpeed LOL
Why do I fcking see you in every fcking video?
That's a mood.
Saw u on donut media commenting lol
Did you pay youtube to be top comment on DDE vinwiki hoovie tavarish stradman and god knows where else? Never seen such autopromotion
This is the shit we're all here for! :D
When i moved into my house many years ago, one of my neighbors had a small barn in his backyard and had a Bricklin and a Delorean stored in it. A couple of times a year he would take them out.
I kinda like that the Bricklin looks like it's ejecting and 8 track tape. It's a car of its time.
When I was in high school, there was a guy in town with 3 Bricklins.
I wonder if the manual windows in the Bricklin are the emergency escape in a rollover.
If you got a DeLorean would you try another LS swap? RCR's Brian tried one and he gave it very high praises which given that he had driven a Hooptie, the DMC12 remake and that LS Swap makes his opinion pretty good.
Maybe, but the average sized US American ain't going nowhere.
Bricklin made the doors hydraulic because the rams could lift the car if it flipped.
@@SteveEarlcelerityproject yet the hydraulic system is terrible bad if it can't even handle operating doors at once it doesn't have a chance in hell not to mention the door and hinges would have to be strong enough and their intergity is far from guranteed not to mention if the battery were to short or pop off during the rollover you're shit out of luck.
@@davet231 All of your observations are correct and intelligent - I am not going to argue this just because I'm a troll on the internet. My father met Malcolm Bricklin long ago when he was (going to) buy one of the cars. I also did contract I.T. work for a guy who did contract engineering work for Bricklin. That engineer said that the team originally proposed the torsion bar setup, but that team was a room full of intelligent people who immediately said "What if it rolls over?". John Delorean was in a room of rich a-holes who just said "That's tubular!" and then sneezed coke all over the drawings. (It's a funny tale, of course but that's what I learned)
But yes, you are correct - the system wasn't so great that it would actually address these issues. If it were that great, it would be part of the sales brochure.
I believe the Bricklin first had a 360 AMC V8, then switched to the Ford 351W. Never a Chrysler motor.
Correct and in 1974 you could get it with a 4 speed manual transmission
Next video: "I bought the cheapest Delorean in the US"
And you are on the money he did by mistake
Nostradamus should be your name
And that he did
I remember when the Bricklin Came out. It was exiting. You saw advertising for EVERYWHERE but rarely saw the cars. I always thought it was a good looking car.
Not sure how either of you handled those G-Forces at the launch!!
bill nalder some say the dolorean drivers now in the year 2019
That Bricklin is sweet. Never seen one that nice.
I know how to escape the Bricklin. Don’t get in it.
That's what most people did... Everybody's seen one but almost nobody's been in one
Still want a DeLorean 😎
I agree. For all its no doubt many faults, it was a seriously cool looking car then and it still looks pretty cool now.
And then LS-swap it.
As a owner of a Bricklin, I don't know why the one shown here is slow? mine is a 1976 and is smogged out with a single exhaust and a catalytic converter, but moves out better than the orange one on here. I know a club member who owns both a Bricklin and DeLorean and says his Brick will outrun his DeLorean any day. I will have to dig in and make more videos of mine! they are awesome cars. built on its own chassis the Bricklin has AMC Hornet front suspension, rear gremlin. so its 70's tech at best. the 1974 came with a AMC 360 V8 with either a 4sp Borg Warner Manual, or a Chrysler 727 Transmission. The 75/76 came with the Ford 351 Windsor and the FMX Ford Automatic. It did compete with the Corvette of the day, also many owners converted the doors to air, so they are much faster and smoother.
I thought Bricklin's had AMC V8's.
the 74s had the AMC 360
In 1974 they had the AMC 360 and you could get a 4 speed manual transmission. After that they all had the Ford engines with an automatic which were lackluster
Did I spy a floor mounted dimmer switch in the Bricklin? Vintage.
I have a mechanic whose bread and butter is Volvos. Imagine my surprise when one day he had a DeLorean on the lift, but upon reflexion it made sense since it uses the same engine as the Volvo 760 (plus he likes working on unusual cars and the DeLorean has the advantage that all parts are readily available). Regarding the Bricklin, when I was in high school in Montreal in the mid-70s, one of our teachers drove a Peugeot which wasn't particularly reliable as a result of which she would every so often get a lift from her brother, a well-known journalist and man-about-town, in his brand-new Bricklin.
You know what really grinds my gears? Hoovie grinding DeLorean gears...
I don't think the Bricklin is running right. Those 351 fords aren't that bad, and the C4 automatic is a good transmission, even in 1975.
Yep. Something definitely wrong there. With 100 more hp, the transmission shouldn't matter unless the gearing is way, way lower in the delorean for that short race.
I was thinking the exact same thing (and even if it had the AM 360 it should east that Volvo-Renault V6 for breakefast...) Probably has closed points and a busted vacuum-advance hose!
I have a bricklin with the 351 and its a lot faster than that. And everyone that owns one now has coverted the doors to air. If you're not 300 lbs you can get out the Windows in a roll over.
Were they all C4's or did some get the FMX?
@@wtfhappened661 Well, in a straight line maybe, but that's hardly a 'real world' comparison. It takes more than just HP to make a sports car.
I don’t who says otherwise but this is some of the most quality car content on TH-cam.
That Drew is a lovely guy, such a well mannered Gent, and looks like he knows how to shift a sports car.
I was 23 when the Bricklin came out. I loved the car. If I wasn’t a broke college kid, I would have found a way to get one. Consider the shitty styling of the “ Big 3” in the 70’s. The Bricklin styling was miles ahead. The DeLorean was next level as well 6 years later. I admire the men, Malcom Bricklin and John DeLorean very much for pursuing their dreams.
Oh Mr. Hoovie. The Bricklin was produced in the Province of New Brunswick, on the east coast of Canada, this province actually shares the USA-Canadian border with the great state of Maine. The head of the New Brunswick government persuaded his government to invest a lot of Canadian bucks in this project of producing these cars in this area. It would be like the State of Maine producing this car, can you imagine? Anyway, it failed, and the tax payers of New Brunswick footed the bill, or most of it.There you have it, a bit of a lesson for you, re the Bricklin. I do what I can for you Mr. Hoovie
sure was i am from nova scotia theres a fue on the roads here still
The Bricklin is a better looking car, IMO. I like the automatic doors, and the finish cannot be permanently scratched. In addition, the front and rear bumpers collapse on impact which both preserves the car and the driver.
almost cried when he made the gears grind :( still love the video though, I have been a delorean fan since I was a kid
Good job Tyler! Nice video. It's weird seeing a normal Delorean interior without all the BTTF crap in it.
David Keleshian for me it’s strange seeing a bttf crap on a DeLorean. Trust me a stock Delorean is far more comfortable than a time machine. It’s way more claustrophobic with all that junk in it.
I agree. I kept looking for the Flux Capacitor!
Looks naked.
The Bricklin is just one of the craziest car stories around--start to finish. A particularly sad story for the entire entity of New Brunswick.
For 1975, it wasn't bad, considering their resources. GM was the largest and wealthiest car maker by far, yet they still produced the Chevy Vega, which had a sleeveless aluminum block and iron heads, and no coolant recovery tank, so coolant was just expelled to the ground when the engine got hot. The result was predictable. Despite the extremely low production numbers, I wouldn't be surprised that in a few decades from now, there will be more Bricklin survivors than Vega survivors.
That bricklen is brilliant. They sure never fame to the uk. I love the interior. I so want one. With a manual.
That would be a 1974 with an AMC 360. Rare and expensive.
I live in the same town where the Bricklin was built... met some old timers that were on the assembly line... Malcolm Bricklin was basically the monorail guy (from the Simpsons) he came to this region and bamboozled his way into government handouts with great promise.
You could have had a Delorean but instead you brought a Lebaron...
PROMPT SERVICE IS REQUIRED

YOUR DATE IS UGLY
They're definitely not in the same price category... or in any common category for that matter, except the decade they were built in.

The Drag race on which car will rust out the most first is still ongoing....
You mean between the stainless steel car and the fiberglass one...? LOL
One of them is all fiberglass sooo
Neither will rust goofball.
That's the joke guys, that's the joke 😂
@@joannaatkins822 Thank you. I was beginning to think society was doomed for a minute.
You were driving the DeLorean all wrong! It has a French engine and therefore must be driven in reverse for maximum performance! :)
xXAust1n46Xx if they tuned the cpu to make it think it is running away from battle it would be the fastest car ever
Bought a 1974 Corvette, new and it wasn't much better than the Bricklin. Within a year I found: 195 tiny ponies not horses, high single digit gas mileage, cracking vinyl interior trim, stress cracking fiberglass, a mysterious non-starting problem (finally diagnosed as a bad ground), and generally sloppy construction inside and out. I sold it 30 years ago and have not once thought about a rebuy.
The delorean was not just built in the Uk
It was built in Northern Ireland... in the uk
It's Irish - the UK is the jurisdiction....for now
First year Bricklin (74) had an AMC 360.
The Bricklin started out with an AMC engine, not Chrysler, and then went to a Ford 351
Zach Allen AMC used Chrysler engines, and Chrysler used AMC engines after they bought Jeep.
5Rounds Rapid yes but this was pre Chrysler purchase. Chrysler bought AMC in 1987 and the Bricklin was built between 1974-75. The first Brinklin versions were with the AMC 360 v8.
@@5roundsrapid263 amc had their own engines those years not Chrysler's
@@fuckelonmusk9395 I have an AMC engine in my 2005 Jeep Wrangler.
@@rickybobby6760 It's sad that they retired the engine. I've heard that they last for over 300,000 miles before an overhaul.
The Bricklin was made in New Brunswick Canada. The idea was that out of work people in the fisheries could build a car with limited training. The government was desperate as people were out of work due to the closing of the fishing grounds. Its a nice idea, and the people were interested, but they just had no training. I am sure they could have made great lobster traps though.
Omg Hoovie stop uploading when I'm trying to get ready for work :(
Sorry but I can't feel bad for you. Manage your time better.
lol
Don't worry, something to look forward to when you get home from work
remove the youtube notifications dude.
i foresee another late warning in it future .
I used to work for a guy with a 2 Bricklin and I almost bought one. He also had a Detomaso Pantera. The sound of that car made me want a muscle car.
i'm jealous... I have always wanted to drive a Bricklin. Great video!
The Bricklin originally came with an AMC 360 and the Delorean was built in Ireland
.
Northern Ireland, UK.
Not gonna lie, that bricklin looks good. I would love to EV swap one of them.
I love Bricklins. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of them. Yeah, they're oddballs. But, the only reason why the DeLorean is famous is because of Back to the Future. The Bricklin is unique, and it's one of the reasons why I love it.
*Nobody asked for it because we didnt know we needed it. Thank you for showing us the way Hoovie!*
I wonder how many "big Hair" 80's folks got their hair stuck in the gullwing doors?
The bricklin looks allot like a saab sonett 👌😂
I have owned both, thought I was the only one who thought so!! Both were strange, slow, but unique cars. Glad I had them, glad I sold them.
Saab sonnet 3 looks much better though
I went to college with Mark Bricklin, Malcolm's son. The ads for the Bricklin touted the fact that there was no cigarette lighter, for safety reasons -- no dropped ashes. He told me that the engineers just forgot to design one in. Mark was driving a Subaru. Before he had his own car company, Malcolm was the first importer of Subarus.
No...There is no ashtray either. Im sure they didnt forget a spare tire either, there was NO spare tire or jack for the car. Changing a flat on the side of the road was not safe. The "Safety Vehicle 1" was full of little quirks like that. The doors only needed 12 inches clearance to open, so you could get out if an idiot parked you in.
Mark is a pal of mine too! Love my Bricklin. I only wish I could have driven my car against that Delorean. VOOM!!!
Steve, if he remembers me, tell him I said hi.
Which one do you guys think looks the best?? I like the Bricklin's look from the outside - especially from the side.
The Bricklin hands down with its ford v8 or amc 360 v8 :)
Was the drag race for who hit 88 first? If so, it should still be going on.
why would it still be going on when both could easily go past 100? the delorean could max out at more that 130 as said in video and the bricklin could do up to 200... they are both capable of that speed
one of the best reviews of both cars I've ever seen! Great footage, respectful but honest commentary and a funny - real life resembling - competition. Thanks a lot!
There is so much bad reviews about the De Lorean, that I can't really agree with. Just because an affordable car looked like a Super Sports car doesn't mean it has to perform like one. It was a respectable approach - seems to have been quite usable in everyday life with really unique details. I think I would like the design even if it had never been the movie star. Its kind 'a cool looking from every angle, sitting flat on the street with its nice tail lights. Pretty timeless design!
You have our explicit permission and/or blessing to trade Doug in for Drew.
Former DeLorean owner here; bought new and driven for 8 years and 26,000 miles. I did not experience most of the problems the car supposedly had; in fact the only real "problem" was that yes, the straight-line performance did not match the looks. I had a turbo installed in mine - helped a lot at speed, but not off the line, of course. It didn't matter that it wouldn't win any races; what mattered was that everywhere you went people were gaga over it, and when you left it parked it would usually be covered with fingerprints when you got back - people had to feel that stainless steel finish.
If you know the story about the cocaine sting the FBI did on John DeLorean, you'll appreciate the vanity plate I then put on it: "SNORT", along with a frame that said "Things Go Better With Coke". Believe it or not I never got stopped, although I was careful to never carry anything that looked like white powder in the car. (The D.O.T. finally did cancel it after somebody complained, but I still have it.)
Drew, speak up bro! When Tyler throws it to you, give some history of the car and why the collection wanted one.
yeah you're right... I was hoping for some backstory.
Drew seems like he's more on the shy side :D
@@SaschaS. and the problem with that?
That Bricklin, I saw one as a kid in that same color pulling out of a Burger King off Lemon Ave. in Dallas in the 70s. It still looks sexy.
I don't care what people think. The Bricklin is a cool car and looks nice. Drop in a crate engine and you have a sweet ride.
Thank you featuring my favorite car and the Bricklin. Good video!!
Holy hell a Bricklin, that’s a rarity.
I have a suggestion for you Hoovie, those old Ford automatics were prone to sticking in high gear, 1: is this an overdrive transmission? It could have electrical problems. The most likely thing is a modulator valve or something like that that is causing you to have to start in third gear.
Fix the transmission and the Bricklin will probably win hands down on rematch.
Ive seen a few sv1's before and even got a chance to drive one back in 2007 and i can say that they are by no means fast but this bricklin is not running like it should . also those doors should open and close in half that time if they were working correctly
The one you saw likely had a pneumatic conversion. Air doors work much faster than hydraulic doors.
I used to want a Bricklin but research showed that they were expensive, a rich man's hobby. This video is wonderful because Malcolm Bricklin didn't like the boxiness of the design offered to him by John DeLorean. So we have the rejected car beating the official car, that's amazing! I predict this video will get millions of views because it's two gull-winged cars racing of course!
Tyler really needs a Delorean!
I'd love to see the car wizard tear into one of these, and maybe even do an engine swap on one that has gone to seed
Rotary swap? :^)
Cole Sieffert, shut!
Great video I'm glad you said united kingdom instead of Ireland. Many Americans think northern ireland where the delorean was built isn't part of the uk which really really annoys me!

Guy down the street had a Pantera, Brick;in and a DeLorean... he knew how to pick 'em
Those bricklin doors sound like a fifth wheel pop out
I still prefer the bricklin. Maybe it lost in this video but the bricklin is a completely COOLER car
The 74 bricklins had the amc 360 with TorqueFlite 727 trans and could have a 4 speed. At least the ford 351 still 10000 times better than the RPV pos
In the bricklands defense, it was built 2 years after the gas crunch of 1973, so it was probably geared for maximum fuel efficiency given how uncertain those times were.
1974 and 1975

So cool! I would’ve bet money the Bricklin would take the win with a 351W, very surprising result.
yeah my stock '76 Bricklin moves out way better than the one on this video, but I don't think he was punching it as there was a parked truck almost in the Bricklin's lane ahead.

Hobo with a Shotgun VS Back to the Future
Thank you, I knew I had seen it somewhere before.
Possibly the two most interesting cars of the 1975-1984 time frame, in my opinion. The DeLorean is, of course, the more well-thought-out car with mass appeal in mind, while still being ahead of its time, despite being bogged down by a mediocre engine and problematic electronics. I still remember, as a young kid, insisting my mother drive by the DeLorean that was forever parked in the driveway of a house near our grocery store, just because it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Forget the BttF movies, it's simply a sublime looking 80s car, a living embodiment of that era.
The bricklin looks better, and has a better engine. I think I’ll take the bricklin
Well done I just stumbled across your site and immediately fell in love with your work which is why I subscribed and liked it. Keep doing what you do and once again another show to make me late for work in the morning..lol..
Just wait until they hit 88 mph
When this baby hits 88 MPH, you're gonna see some serious shit.
Wow. I just found out about the Bricklin and i've known about the DeLorean forever. And just today, one of my favorite car youtubers posts a video on the two!
The Bricklin looks like it swallowed an 8-track.
hugglescake 😂
The front bumper far exceeded crash impact requirements for its time.
Yes I saw that motor week video too.
