[T3] Speaking of going way back.

[Douglas Campion]

There may be more RS/SS Camaros than Chevy ever built.  But there are definately not more Model A's than Henry made in existence today.  There are recreations but definately not more currently.  The Model A is so simple in stock form that parts are readily recreated "inexpensively".  The complexity of a more modern car will make it difficult to create parts by average people.

So mark me one of the "crazies".

In addition to my first NEW car (the '69 Square, which I still own), I just
recently sold my 1930 Model "A" Ford 45B coupe with rumble seat.

A car friend of mine always told me:  "There are more Model "A's"
in existence today, than Henry ever built."  Production figures for all
body styles of the Model A are listed at 4,858,644.
The VW Type 3's are listed at 2,542,382.  I wonder how many Type 3's are
still out there?
