You have a number of issues. These trucks were selling at 13-17k for a long time, people just don’t file insurance claims, they just push em off in a ditch after repurposing what they can. When searching the insurance db, you can do 5 a day. You’d need 2000 people searching every day to keep a 10% accuracy. This is only for USA. Add the number of stolen and exported, exported legally and you loose what, another 15%. Then you have those that part out for various reasons, anther 8%, 25% in connex containers, garages, barns, and who knows what and you want to know how many are left.
if you follow the collector industry, a lot of it comes down to “known to exist” and as you might guess, that is stupid with these trucks as they for the most part are identical baring the paint. The true holy grail trucks no one ever talks about, those will be the money makers. None of them are what most think.
Even at a 50% loss, these trucks will remain a market value item and not rarity. If it wasn’t for bidenomics, these trucks would still be worth 13k and at the current rate of stupidity, on average they will be sold for more than what some of us paid new. The crash will occur and that investment will also crash.
wait, just wait. At some point in the next 10-15 years, the economy will right it’s self and rarity may be a multiplier.
How many are left, is the wrong question. Who has the first one built, is a question, trucks with provenience a question.
