I find it hard to believe that McDonnell shut down the production line on the Gemini for three years and did nothing until the program was canceled.
Is there any data about how many were built and what happened to them?

At least one MOL capsule was built I believe.There's a BLUE GEMINI capsule on display at the US Air Force Museum with the heat shield hatch and US AIR FORCE markings.
