I've seen the following numbers for the 1990/1991 v8 5 speeds posted in various forums, list serves, print, and conversations.

37
49
73
115
178

Any which way it's pretty rare.

I own one, am parting one and have sold/scrapped 3 more for a total of 5.

I also missed 2 that went at auction a few years back, one in ohio, and one in seattle area.
