OK, I’ll take a W.A.G.....
Based on the COVID estimate of 10x cases per positive test... and the fact that I have seen about 15 completed & running cars on these pages, I guess that there are 150 of these cars on the road, or in museums.
I know of one non-running car here in AZ. Assuming that number is slightly off, I will estimate two non-running cars per state for a total of 100 garage projects.
That leaves 152 cars that have been totaled, or rusted out based on my precise estimation methodology of the approximately 5 destroyed or basketcase cars (like MA1000) that I have seen on this board, and multiplying this number by a 30.4x destruction factor.
Therefore: 150 + 100 + 152 = 402, which precisely matches the “agreed-upon” production total. Of course this number includes the final car made from spare parts for the King of Mexico (which is currently orange).
