I'd venture to say it is probably still in northern New England somewhere.
Production number is reputed to be around 100 but I don't know if anyone knows for sure.

I looked up the numbers for three speed manual big Pontiacs in 1971:
2 Grand Villes
4 Bonnevilles
6 Catalina Broughams
30 Catalina Safaris
144 Catalinas
So, I was off on the amount of stick Catalinas earlier but it was still a pretty small number.
