Michael Antonick has written "The Genuine Corvette Black Book" that list all the years of corvettes with all the available options and how many of those options were installed in corvettes. But if youre trying to find out How many 1972 Corvettes painted in Elkhart Green had p/s, p/b,a/c, and am/fm radios that info is not available, you will have to extrapolate from the total number built.
You might also try the C3 registry, here is a link

I dont know what year you are looking for and I dont know if this is the info you are looking for but if you change the year in the link it will give you some info.

some years have some records, other years there are no published records..
so what year and what specific option?

for example.. we know there were 8007 white 75 corvettes, but we don't know how many white 74 corvettes were built.

Thanks All for your replies. I see now that I should have been more specific. The target is a 80 L82. I am fixing to aquire one from an inheritance & I am trying to decide whether to keep it or sell. It is White with red leather seats & interior. It has the optional alloy wheels & glass T-tops. I want to find out if it has any other options that I don't know about.

I have another thread going about the resale value of this car. In the interest of being upfront, I will update the other thread with new info on faults I have found after spending a little more time with the car.

Thanks again for all your replies. I will check out the links you all have given me.

Purchase The Corvette Black Book. Any edition since 1981 will contain 1980 information and specs.

Go here http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...x.php?cmd=area and see if you can obtain a copy of the dealer invoice for your 80. The invoice will list all the options the car came equipped with, plus prices, original dealer name and address, date shipped, etc.

Leather, PS, PB, AC, PW, and T/T were all standard for the 80 models. The L-82, glass tops, and aluminum wheels were optional.

Thanks! I have some toggle switches over on the door panels that don't seem to work. They look like the PW switches on the console. Could they be power door locks maybe?

Could be. Power locks was an option. Does the car have the owner's manual with it? Page through it.
