We got to talking about the Bricklins. Some had AMC engines and some had 351 Windsor Ford V8's. This one had a 351.
The fellow with the 250 SL said he bought a brand new Javelin in '74 with the big V8. Said it was the best car he ever had, and regretted selling it.

The local Bricklin dealer was also our local Pontiac-Buick dealer, and I recall sitting in more than a few Bricklins in the showroom. The early seventie's Javelin/AMX models were a very decent alternative to GM/Ford pony cars. I alway thought that the first-generation AMX was one of the better-looking cars on the road in its day.
