Larry,

  As keeper of the Bricklin Registry, I have 2053 records in the database.
This includes numerious duplicates as I track car history.  So if I know a
car has had 3 owners, the car is in the database 3 times.

I have about 1780 cars that we know of.

>How many are reported lost forever?

Of these only 1 or 2 are marked as totaled, I think.  I know of about 3 other 
cars (no VINS) that are parts cars or were totaled.  Cars keep slowly comming 
out of the wood work.  Maybe 1 a month.

That I have NO idea of.  We don't ask that question - probably should.
However, that becomes very subjective.  Many, especially the ones up North
aren't driven in the winter.  But may be driven almost daily during the
Spring, Summer, and Fall.

I understand that.  The only protection there is a good insurance policy.

There are quite a few - on the road as weekenders and fair weather cars, but
I don't know how many.

Also of the 1780ish cars, only about 380 people and about 453 cars are 
in BI.  Have you missed your Brickline?
