Is there some info how many T's are remaining?

Impossible to say as it was sold world wide. I use to say that up to 1% of the 15 million made is still with us in some form. That makes a market of 150.000 for spareparts which is why we can get "everything".

There are more and more 1923 Model T's every day. They have fiberglass bodies and big V8 engines.

I believe there are more all the time, whatever the actual number is. One of my Model T mentors made a practice of going out back to his parts stash and gathering up parts to assemble a running car. I'm pretty sure he's not the only one to do this. And add to those assembled cars the ones which keep being found in old sheds and barns, and the number increases faster than existing cars disappear due to wrecks and attrition.

I have a 1913 Speedster, 1923 Touring, and currently building from parts a 1927 Roadster PU with my daughter and son in law. Started with a worn out rolling chassis, almost everyday I'm searching for parts here and there for this project.

With a small budget, its been slow going rounding up parts. I enjoy the chase of parts almost as much as working on the project, or driving my other T's

From what I've been told (and you can take this with a grain of salt), out of over 15,000,000 Model T Fords manufactured, about 250,000 remain, worldwide, in various states of existence from perfect restorations to incomplete, unrestorable, barely identifiable piles of rust. -In the United States, 60,000 intact examples are or were recently registered with the DMV and/or insurance companies. -I got the above info from various books and magazines and I have no idea as to their level of accuracy.

The insurance company I use, Hagerty, has about 5,000 Model T Fords on their roles, but figure about half of those are hot-rods.

About 100 running Flivvers exist on Long Island (and I include Shelter Island as part of Long Island, where exist between 15 and 20 examples). -Six of the Flivvers on Long Island are within an approximate 5-mile radius of my home.

The very last Model T manufactured by Ford was completed in 2003. -It was the last of a batch of six 1914 model-year Tourings produced in celebration of Ford's centennial.
