Most of them went to California law enforcement agencies. When their service was complete many of these cars were sold to film studios, and most of those were destroyed in movies and TV shows. A man who runs a 9C1 registry, who goes by Alex, figures that just 20 have survived.
This one was bought at auction by a film editor who garaged it for 34 years

Geeze, that car was one of the fastest cars Ive ever driven
I sold over 200 0f these to the St. Louis Police Dept. Made a fortune on selling them sheet metal. They wrecked these things almost as fast as we delivered them.
