Hi Bill (and all),
One thing we have to note is collectablility. Take the Fury for example. As soon as 'Christine' came out, people went out and began to save the remaining Furys (and Belvederes), whereas before, they were unsaved. Therefore, more of them survived. On the other side, I know I have never personally seen a '59 Nyer Convert. Not at a show, not in any of the yards I have been to here in Ohio, Northern KY or Indiana. I have also never seen a '60 Chrysler product in the same yards, but I have seen a '61. The point of all this is that not many people tried to save these in the olden days, as there was no 'reason' to. So, I would say that very, very few have survived. I know with muscle cars, attrition is about 70%, and then they begin to fall at an ever-decreasing amount as the years go by. I would say less than 10% would survive until now.
BUT- as we all KNOW, especially working with old Mopars- there is ALWAYS an exception to the rule.
Just my pennies,
Charles
