I realized about an hour ago that I never had come up with a grand total of all the coaches I have recorded.
So of course, I had to get right on that!
Keep in mind maybe .5% of the following percentage is based on speculation. In some years, like in the mid-to-late '90's, they would build in batches of 20 or 40 at a time, so if I have a, say, 1950 and another one 15 units later, I think it's safe to assume it was filled with 1950's in between. The amount I speculate will only exponentially increase as I get more VIN's in there to allow me to make the conclusions.
So are you ready for the total?

Based on Dale Zimmerman's rough count of the total ever built, this would mean I have roughly 3.7% of all Sunline's recorded!
The year breakdown is as follows, in case you're interested:
1965..................0
1966..................0
1967..................0
1968..................0
1969..................0
1970..................0

1972..................0
1973..................1
1974..................0
1975..................2
1976..................1
1977..................3
1978..................5

I do have a lot of pictures for various unidentified coaches, but I also don't have pictures for all of them with VIN's, so it probably evens out pretty well. I do have a stronger representation of the older ones (~'77-'85), but with that age, it's more common for them to be listed on Craigs list or some other form of advertising that is less likely to include the VIN.
