John,

I'm sending a piece I wrote, via private email, the covers some of the basics
in looking for a Bricklin.  The body cracks are a very common problem.

You probably won't find one without cracks unless it's been restored.
Consiquently, it will cost a bit.  Don't know how much money you're looking
to spend.
