Motorola Ink (or whatever they call themselves nowadays) don't make 
6802's or 6502's any more, but there are quite a few modern Chinese 
copies available (some with fake Motorola batwings branding), plus I 
think some Motorola-licensed US manufacturers like Rochester 
Electronics, WDC and maybe Microchip USA still make them.

Afaik no-one still makes 8080/Z80's, though they only stopped making the 
Z80 a year or two ago.

Yes, many versions (NE-, LM-, 7- etc) of the 555/556/558 are still in 
production.

And so is the venerable 741, and its variants.

The Sinclair (Plessey) IC10 is however dead as the dodo.
