I could be mistaken, but it's my understanding that there are a few of them
in collector's hands.  I've seen one in the Peterson Museum, for example
(although I don't know who it belonged to).  GM supposedly disabled them by
removing the batteries & controller, but the car itself was preserved.

I agree, but it's much too late for that now.  The uproar is truly
impressive, and I'll bet Time has had more web hits in the last month than
in the year before that.
