Very, very few.
Think of it from a different perspective. If a person lacked the funds to repair a vehicle what makes one think they had the funds to store it? Nope, it got sold and used up.
A number of years ago my doctor (personal friend) and I had looked in to importing cars from Cuba realizing the potential for profit.
He traveled there quite often and had the proper connections to make the importation process fairly smooth.
He, like myself is quite car savvy.
Bottom line? Nearly all the cars down there are so far "gone" as to be near worthless. No doubt there are a few squirreled away but very, very few.
