It was a live auction story. Mecum\u2019s group of seven produced sale prices ranging from <strong>$28,600 to $47,300<\/strong>, with the three 1975 cars bringing <strong>$47,300<\/strong>, <strong>$29,700<\/strong>, and <strong>$28,600<\/strong>. That was enough to make even hardened skeptics wonder if the Bricklin had finally found a firmer foothold in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now comes the reality check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>1975 Bricklin SV-1<\/strong> in <strong>Safety Red<\/strong> from <strong>Boca Raton, Florida,<\/strong> is currently listed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hemmings.com\/auction\/1975-bricklin-sv-1-boca-raton-fl-745616?mc_cid=4b4550ff01&amp;mc_eid=db537f1377\">Hemmings<\/a> as a <strong>reserve<\/strong> auction car. Hemmings identifies it as one of approximately <strong>2,100<\/strong> produced for 1975, equipped with a <strong>351-cu.in. V-8<\/strong>, <strong>automatic transmission<\/strong>. Offered with a stated <strong>50,270 miles<\/strong>, it possesses a composite body whose molded-in-color finish is <strong>believed original<\/strong>. The listing also describes the interior as being in very good condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-id=\"2359\" data-src=\"https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792585-1024x819.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2359 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792585-1024x819.webp 1024w, https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792585-300x240.webp 300w, https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792585-768x614.webp 768w, https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792585-1536x1229.webp 1536w, https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792585.webp 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/819;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"745\" data-id=\"2360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792621-1024x745.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2360 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792621-1024x745.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792621-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792621-768x559.jpg 768w, https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792621-1536x1118.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/motorcopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/157792621-2048x1490.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/745;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time this article was written (just before 8:00 p.m. Eastern on Monday, March 23, 2026), bidding has reached USD $25,000 with the reserve unmet. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hemmings.com\/auction\/1975-bricklin-sv-1-boca-raton-fl-745616?mc_cid=4b4550ff01&amp;mc_eid=db537f1377\">online auction<\/a> is scheduled to close on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, &nbsp;at 4:00 p.m. Eastern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Hemmings Bricklin appears to be a much more typical SV-1 than the strongest Mecum Glendale cars that just sold. It is not a near-time-capsule example with three-digit mileage. It is not a benchmark preservation piece. And it is not completely untouched. Hemmings notes a number of aftermarket engine upgrades, including an <strong>Edelbrock intake manifold<\/strong>, <strong>Holley dual-feed four-barrel carburetor<\/strong>, <strong>headers<\/strong>, <strong>custom dual exhaust<\/strong>, aftermarket ignition components, and a replacement radio. The transmission is described as believed to be the original Ford-supplied FMX three-speed automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That matters because Mecum\u2019s Bricklin moment was not just about Bricklins. It was about <strong>very specific<\/strong> Bricklins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Glendale group leaned on scarcity, low mileage, no-reserve selling, and preservation appeal. One 1974 four-speed car sold for <strong>$44,000<\/strong>. Another 1974 brought <strong>$37,400<\/strong>. Even the two 1976 cars, with <strong>972 miles<\/strong> and <strong>80 miles<\/strong> respectively, sold for <strong>$29,150<\/strong> and <strong>$29,700<\/strong>. Those numbers did not prove that every Bricklin is suddenly expensive. They proved that standout Bricklins can get attention when the setting is right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hemmings car is different. And frankly, that is why it is interesting. And arguably better, notwithstanding its reasonable mileage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This looks more like the Bricklin most people might actually encounter in the wild: a visually distinctive, mostly original, somewhat and desirably updated, enthusiast-owned survivor rather than a museum-piece oddity. In that sense, it may be a more useful test of the actual market than Glendale\u2019s concentrated seven-car spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sales data found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classic.com\/m\/bricklin\/sv-1\/\">Classic.com<\/a> helps sharpen that point. The site currently lists the <strong>average Bricklin SV-1 sale price at $30,666<\/strong>, with a recorded <strong>high of $101,000<\/strong> and a <strong>low of $7,500<\/strong>. It also shows a recent <strong>$21,000<\/strong> sale for a 1975 SV-1 in December 2025 and a <strong>$14,500<\/strong> no-sale for another 1975 example later that same month. In other words, the broader market still contains plenty of evidence that a driver-grade or more ordinary SV-1 is not automatically a $40,000-plus car just because a few better examples recently got there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is where the \u201cGreat Buy\u2026Maybe?\u201d angle comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this Hemmings Bricklin really is stalling in the mid-$20,000 range, it may be light <strong>relative to the Glendale headlines<\/strong>, but it does not look irrational relative to the broader market data. In fact, it may be one of those cases where the market is doing exactly what mature markets are supposed to do: separating the exceptional from the merely interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that may actually be good news, depending on what side of the trade you might occupy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bricklin SV-1 has spent decades living in a strange limbo \u2014 too unusual to ignore, too quirky to fully mainstream, and too often dismissed as a footnote in automotive history. But markets become healthier when they start rewarding the right things in the right order. Low-mile, especially original, highly preserved examples should command stronger money. More used, lightly modified, driver-oriented cars should trade at more restrained levels. That is not weakness. That is definition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So is this Safety Red 1975 Bricklin a great buy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short answer\u2026maybe\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the reserve is set ambitiously, the seller may simply be discovering that Mecum Glendale did not magically reset the entire Bricklin universe in one weekend. If the bidding remains below where the seller hoped, that may frustrate the consignor, but it also may offer exactly the kind of selective buying opportunity that smart niche collectors look for. A more usable Bricklin at a more grounded number is not the same thing as a weak Bricklin. It may just be the market reminding everyone that headlines and reality are rarely the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday afternoon will tell the tale&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><em>David Neyens has worked in collector car sales and auctions for 18 years, writing thousands of detailed vehicle descriptions and helping his clients navigate the market successfully.
