Default Re: 1932 Ford Deluxe 3W, Murray Body # informal registry, how many are still around?

I got a chance to photograph last week the body number and chassis numbers from one of the 13 1932 3 window coupes that were sold new in New Zealand.
The number 483 is already on the list above but here is photographic proof.
The chassis (gearbox number) is C18R 271 and is original to the car.
This coupe had been in the previous owners possession for the last 60 years with nothing being done to it and now has a new enthusiastic owner who has already done much work on it.

Our Deuce three window tag number is B520A 12384 its an original Un-chopped body. I'm wondering if anyone has continued counting how many 1932 three windows have been added to this informal registry so far? Last count Randy had was 89 that was back in 2023. Adding the three since then looks like there's only 91 so far.

You can add mind to the list too. 7256


It was born a rumble seat and was converted to a trunk at some point in it's life prior to me getting it.
