Bored at work today and I was reading over in the 5.0 area where some are beginning to wonder when those cars may become collectible. I was curious to production numbers so I poked around on the internet.
What I found was that there were actually more 1967 Fastbacks (70k) made than 1992 Hatchbacks (40k). I thought that was interesting.
There were 112k Fastbacks made in 67/68 to the total run of almost 700k Hatchbacks from 1987 to 1993.
I got to wondering how many of these old cars are really left around. As in what percentages have been completely destroyed vs. in a junkyard vs. neglected vs. still driving. So if they made 70 thousand 1967 Fastbacks.... maybe there's what, 30 thousand of them left driving around? I know I don't see too many!!!
I wonder how many of the 1992 Hatchbacks are left too.... it's possible my 92 is more rare than my 67!!
Not that they're comparable... but like I said... it's a sloooooow day at work today!!!
