To make it simple look for something that you are capable of repairing. if
you don't mind mechanical work find one that needs some mechanical work, If
body work is your thing find one that has issues there. If you want a driver
that needs TLC and cleanup that is what you have to look for. Important
issues (IE costly) are interior trim and seats, original acrylic panels that
are not cracked or painted. most other things are available. If you want a
"perfect" car find another Marquee they haven't mad a perfect bricklin yet.
The thing most people overlook is frame rust, the frame rusts much more on
these cars as the plastic bodies don't show age as much. If you are
a"purist" and don't want a painted car be prepared to pay for your prize,
Painted cars are usually more fairly priced and easier to find replacement
parts for.
SO as you se the first thing you have to do is decide what you want and then
see if you can get it for what you are willing to pay.
Just don't fall in love with a car that is beyond your skill or comfort
level just because it is close or cheap, or it will be in your garage for
years and then it'll end up parted out or out back of someone's shop.
