<<<Seriously though have you looked on the registry to see how many are
showing?>>>

While there have been/are several attempts at Pantera registries, expecting to get any sort of
accurate numbers from any of them is useless.

The out-of-print Van Ess printed registry is very vague and out of date.

The newer online registries have a VERY limited reach - 

An owner has to be actively online to even know about the registries.

Many Pantera owners don't even belong to the owners' clubs, so they surely are not very 
interested in online activities. Many no doubt are not even computer literate.  And many of those
that are could care less about some stranger's registry.

Ford imported roughly 6000 Panteras.  Maybe 75 GT5 cars came in grey market.

Want a number of how many are actively driven?

How about instead how many are capable of being driven. Far too many get about 20 miles each year.
THAT is not actively driven in my book.

I'll say 2000 to 2500, at the VERY most.

Next guess??
