Vintage Cars: 61 STAR CHIEFS, pontiac club, impossible question

Question
HOW CAN I FIND OUT HOW MANY 61 STAR CHIEFS ARE STILL AROUND?


Answer
Unfortunately, an impossible question to answer.  How many are still in existence, regardless of condition, or just in good running shape?  You can search the internet for things like "Pontiac forums" or "Pontiac registry" which might tell you how many have been restored and who's owners have joined a club, causing them to be counted.  But I'm sure you realize that would only be a certain percentage of the total number of '61 Star Chiefs still out there.  I mean, how many are still owned by Uncle Joe, who parked his in a barn out back in 1978 and threw a blanket over it.  There's just no way to know how many of those there are (and trust me, those "barn cars" STILL exist), but joining a Pontiac club would be the best way to get closer to the data you're looking for.
