Add to this guestimate,how many of these survivors are still in a driveable state? I'd say perhaps somewhere in the 10 to 20% range. Take these assumptions for what they're worth, very basic guesses. Just my 2 cents worth.
What the article (which was from 1979, way before GTOs were considered collectible in the hobby) misses is that the rate of attrition tends to diminish at some point because people are finding and restoring these cars.
