How many transistors in the 6502 processor?

Does anyone know how many transistors made up the 6502? These days with
Intel's boasting of the number of transistors their latest processors use,
it'd be interesting to know what we used to get by using. What, it can't
have been more than a few thousand, right?

And then it'd be rather fun to implement your very own 6502 using 74*
series logic chips.
