Question Number of 951's still on the road today?

Recently while on a parts run to Parts Heaven in Hayward, CA I spotted maybe 15 junked 951's in their yard. It got me thinking; if the original production numbers for 951's was 25,245 units (for world-wide sales from 1986 to 1991) how many could possibly still be on the road today? I think that the 951 will be quite a collector sooner than anyone thought.
Does anyone know the number of current registered 951's in the US?

I've got one of them!

But seriously, I've wondered the same thing myself. I'm considering starting a 951 Registry - if one doesn't already exist. Would anyone be interested in this? What type of info should be collected?

I'd think VIN, location (City and State Only - or everything), Mileage, Color, Mods???
