how many are left?

I was expecting SO much more from you...

Even being able to work the quote function properly woulda been better...

Fixed...See if it makes more sense now.

Excuse: Typing left-handed while petting friendly cat.

Unbelievable.

Another thread lost to pettiness and posturing. It would be impossible for me to reply in any meaningful way without:
1.) unintentionally insulting one or more members,
2.) either charging tuition or literally wasting several hours, and
3.) causing downstream trouble for Moncha.

Nothing is held more tightly than a challenged belief. Except a challenged wrong belief.

This act is getting old fellas.

How about the 1964 Pontiac GTO?

"Frank Bridge, who did not believe it would find a market, insisted on limiting initial production to no more than 5,000 cars." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_GTO

The GTO was a rebadged version of a much higher production number Tempest, with a more powerful engine. So they had the bodies anyway, try a few with more HP, low risk.

Anyone been keeping track of which members have usually ended up spending the most time near the center of all such threads covering the widest array of topics? If I may, one possible meaning is that having opinions is one thing, truly realizing they are opinions is another.

It occurred to me that the local DMV might have a database they could search for the number of a particular brand and model vehicle currently registered/licensed/etc. in their particular state, but mine is closed today so I wasn't able to call and ask.

It would take a combined effort of course, but that may be one way to arrive at a ballpark number for the OP's question.

[blacksambo]

I'll bet you CarFax knows the number out there. Anybody got any dealer pull to help with that request?

So where did the extra fenders, hoods, & quarters come from, that they were required to produce for replacements, you know...to be sold in the US, Auastrailia, & Japan...

Since you're supplying the figures, & I'm OBVIOUSLY ignorant of how big business does just that...business, perhaps you could enlighten me...

Also, I could use more enlightenment on the facts presented in this post...

I said "approx" 5000. The FIA makes you produce enough spares to actually market and service the "production" automobile in order to qualify for that class. As far as the VX-4, do you remember Isuzu's XU-1 concept/show car? It's a four door extremely advanced styled vehicle, that would never go to production. The VX-4 is no different, just like the convertible VX-02, it's just a for instance type message vehicle, not for mass consumption, a custom one off, to gain more Isuzu press, that's all.
