Default How many 68's are left?

I wanted to know if someone has a good idea of how many 68's are still out there, in use or in salvagable condition. I am sure many have been fubar over 40 years. I know there is a registry. Can anyone give a good guess?

There aren't many. There is a guy on here who jumps in all the time to collect and dispose of the '68s and '64s to save the world from them.

I don't know how successful he has been.

You're kidding, right? How would anyone ever know? I've got one, so you can count her.
