Haven't seen one in years!
There was an AC Cobra kit that used the chassis as a base so there might well be a few still out there hiding under fibreglass bodies.

My mates old man had one, he used to let said mate back it up and down the driveway, he swung too hard one day and flattened the brick letter box. His old man righted the letterbox with a chain and the tow bar, then with a few well placed mallet strikes popped the front guard back out.
They don't make them like that anymore... the car and his father...
