Accounting for the number of cars still in existence is quite easy--the Registry does that. The problem is with wrecked cars that have come back to life using parts from others that makes it quite difficult to give an accurate number of true original cars in existence.
The role of thumb is this: typically, in the run of the mill, grocery getter, mom and pop sedans the survival rate is around 1% after 25 years. Sports Cars, such as the Corvette/Cobra have much higher rates of survival. I think 75% of '53 Corvettes are accounted for. Cobras are probably even higher--despite the rebodies/rechassis cars out there.
