# Produced vs Known to Exist Today?

I don't know this car, I just have a question about numbers.

This car is one of 116 built and the only one known to exist now. Obviously special purchase cars, these weren't cars that were sold to he general public by accident. If there were 116 built and the people that bought them went out of their way to order them particularly to race them the other 115 couldn't have all been wrecked beyond repair. My question is how did 100 or so of these special order hard to get cars get lost in time? I am sure many people have asked the same question about the COPO Camaros, but there were more of those built and some dealers kept an inventory of them.
