I guarantee there were two Victorias because they were owned by a Dr Hoeschbaker. One is in Turnquist's book. They were both running driving cars. However a maniac got a hold of one and that was the end of it. As happens so often with these cars.
I believe both ended up in the Harrah collection.
I'm not sure of the details, because I heard second hand, but the way I understand it is that Harrah owned three 734s at one time: two were Victoria Coupes and the third was a chassis (or possibly a chassis with not much remains of a body... don't know what style). Out of the three cars, he "built" the famous salmon and brown boattail that was sold at Pebble Beach in 2011.
One of the Victoria Coupes remained mostly intact (the Nethercutt car), and the second Victoria Coupe was separated from its chassis, then ended up who knows where... possibly the Australian car that is rumored to exist. That chassis still exists and carries a replica boattail body on it also. Built by Kingston, I believe, and was used on several "Great American Races" during the 1980s.
