Hello all, 
Is there a database of how many T5R survivors are left here in the states?
Colors, and if car is running or not
It would be interesting to know.
I can start with mine

Im the second owner. PO bought it in new in NM. Kept it for 20yrs till sold to me.

I have a Yellow one. There are two others here, in addition to mine. One may have been sold, but the other is still owned by the original owner.

I have a short list, but I think you are correct, we should get a count going.

I'd be happy to start the list, or continue the one I have started.

I doubt you'll be able to get any kind of count here. I have a wild imagination so I'll put down my thoughts. My wild US estimate for T-5R:

Yellow wagons, maybe 31.
Yellow sedans, maybe 89.
Black wagons, maybe 42.
Black sedans, maybe 225.

My wagon now has 307,000, original engine, 2nd transmission.

Thanks, but I think that may ge a high estimate for 21 yr. old cars. Will try to document as many as possible.
