Big Bob is correct. And the only way to get production numbers for various options is to extrapolate from known data. For instance if half the cars had manual transmissions and 25% had power windows, then about a 1/8th of Vettes that year rolled off the line with both.

Of course some use this process to run an ebay ad that goes something like this:

"RARE 73 Corvette,..estimated to be one of only 13 made with power windows, manual transmission, power steering, non-A/C car in the body color of white with red interior".

Truth is, if you look at this way, all our cars are pretty "rare".
