I cant tell you how many are left, but I was told a sort of "formula" you might use to estimate. This is far from "scientific'. First , find out how many were made for that year. That can be done. Next, figure 10% are not in the USA, then figure 10% of those in the USA are salvaged/wrecked etc, then figure out of that, 1% are not salvage or wrecked but not running, then figure 1% of those are left running. Im not exactly sure Ive got that so called "formula" right-might be wrong especially on that last part- maybe only 1/10 of 1% are running. Oh well. Dont pay much attention to me. Hehe.
This so-called "formula" reminds me -a few years ago i developed a product for 200 series Volvos-actually had a temp patent on it. The product was ONLY for 200 series Volvos. It was accepted very well with 200/240/245 etc owners that saw it, BUT the issue was that there were comparitively so few 200 series Volvos on the road, AND there were many that would never even hear of my "product" as the ONLY advertising that was done for them was through the IPD catalogue . (IPD loved it.) THEN figured maybe 1% might see my product in that catalogue then maybe 1% of those might actually see and buy the product-well bottom line-a good product but due to lack of existing 200 series with owners that might see and actually buy my product-couldn't get rich, and soon the manufacturing and sales was stopped. Oh well-it was fun while it lasted.
