Does anyone know how many of the 3154 J coded 1959 Thunderbirds (430 MEL engine) are still out there?
Or do you know a source?
Tbirdregistry can probably not give an accurate indication, since only 676 of the 2 door hardtops are registered in total. Assuming that 25% of remaining t-birds are registered this would mean that only 2704 cars are still alive, only 4,7% of original production. Total production was 57000 (J+H code).
Assuming a double remaining percentage for the J coded cars, of these only 300 would be left (2 x 0,047 x 3154).
Plausible?
