Editors Note:  The restoration of VIN 717 by Mike McCluskey, and the restoration of VIN 2391 by Tim Hansberry, are a testament to what can be accomplished by the right attitude, enthusiasm, determination, and perseverance,  of even a Bricklin needing an overwhelming amount of work !  Congratulations to Mike McCluskey, and Tim Hansberry on their outstanding Bricklin SV-1 restoration accomplishments !
