Assuming you mean a C3 LT-1 convertible, yes for each year the C3 LT-1 cars were produced (70 to 72). Don't have my Corvette Black Book in front of me, but only around 1,200 to 1,400 were produced in each of the 3 model years.

<-- And here's an actual 72 LT-1 convertible!

I have one of the 405 LT1 convertibles built in 72. There were actually 6 ZR1 convertibles built in 72. This is the "race" version of the LT1. Better brakes, M22 trans radio delete all the race only options. Kind of a L88 car with the LT1 motor. 20 built total for 72.
