Here is a link to a list of survivors.

I did a reasonable bit of work last year to the example in the RCA museum here in Shilo. Fresh brakes, fresh wiring, and a bit of cosmetics. It is fun to drive, and sure a crowd pleaser. The one change I made was installing an electric fuel pump (controlled by a toggle switch on the dash) for guaranteed starting along with an oversized fuel filter on the frame. After sitting for a year, I can hop into it, flip the master switch, and it starts every time.

As for value, one sold the other year for around $30K from Australia. I heard rumour it was coming to Canada, so by the time you factor in the shipping, I guess she ran $35 to 40K.

The example in Shilo is in the 5000 serial range, which is puzzling since most reports give a significantly lower production number.
