VIN 422. Many thanks to Kerry Stark for sharing photos of VIN 422 !
Bricklin SV-1 VIN 422, was sold as a parts car in January, 2009. The car had reportedly been driven for about a quarter century, on the roads of New York. The salt on the roads had taken their toll on the frame of the car. The car was not considered restorable. Here are photos, showing before and after ...

After: Front and rear Bricklin SV-1 VIN 422 wall units !!!
Kerry Stark, is one talented person !!! VIN 422 did not die completely !!! He built these wall units with the front and rear sections of VIN 422 !!!! So you might say he restored the front and rear of the SV-1. Kerry says it was a lot of work, but a "labor of love". The lights on the front and rear work ! Absolutely beautiful, stunning static displays !!! The license plate on the front unit reads: In memory of VIN 422.
