How many are out there today? Options

[mrdicb]

I'm stuck writing a research paper for school. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Fortunatly I had the choice of my own topic, so what did I choose? The 914 of course.

So here's the bad part-- I can't seem to find some vital information about them. Hopefully someone here can hook me up with some info (paticurally with a reference I can list as a sourse)

How many 914's are there currently estimated in the US?

As to actuall cars that run or will run again someday I would venture to guess the number is a lot smaller. Thanks, That'll be the number I'll use for now, until someone can disprove it.

That figure includes parts yards such as AA's. Greg posted some pictures of about 50-75 cars that they have that will probably rust away before they see the road again and I'm sure that others can point out places that have almost that many cars. Rich Bontempi has probably that many cars parted out (not sure so don't quote me) from the pictures I have seen of his yard. Then there is Easy.....(no idea how many they have) Parts Haven? And there was a place that closed their doors a couple yrs ago who's name escapes me that had a ton of cars....
