Nope.  As I understand the history, several were brought here for some sort
of testing and teasing of the common folk and all were supposed to have gone
back.  I have seen 3 or 4 factory cars in the US and others put the number
at 12 or 13.  How they got in is a question for the owners.

Yes-during the chrome bumper era.   Later, in rubber bumper form as the rest
of the B's were.
