The Sport Fury S/23: how many survived?

A real plane Jane identified as an S/23 in the caption, taken from "flickeriver".

This one was in the registry but it came up for sale on the CL several times in 2012. Price lowered to as little as 3500, it was a pretty well optioned model... with NOO buyers! Desperate to sell because he was moving, i think it went to a dealership - fate unknown.

So what happened to this one? In the "registry" this S/23 was being offered as the "parts car" by Dan for the infamous "1/2 a fury" now being restored by some poor guy who only now knows what a project he fell face first into... boy don't i know about that!
But seriously, kill a rare S/23 for a rare GT? Isn't that like killing a Dodo for the egg? Just sayin...

I took these pics at Carlisle 2007, both S/23 cars....looks like you may have posted pics of them already. The green car is a GT and a regular at Carlisle. So that year at least it was S/23-2 GT-1.

This sad 4bbl 383 S23 sat in a junkyard in AZ and was rescued, but turned out to be too much for the buyer to restore. So it went up for sale on ebay -and didn't sell. Fate unknown.

Here are three S/23 i found for sale over the years, with NO PICTURES. So its 3 SFS23 essentially original location unknown, condition unknown, color/trim unknown and fate unknown.

A very nice S/23 photographed at Carlisle, 1994; I suspect this is the same S/23 located in CT from the "registry".

the CT S23 from the registry -think it the same?

...Actually, it looks like that "1970" license plate as seen on the Carlisle S23 posted earlier by Beep Beep Dave, so maybe they are two different cars.
 
This B5 Blue beauty was in Nashville. Reportedly an S/23 but not certain. Its definitely not the one posted earlier... that one was in Spokane. I think this one found its way into the registry also.
